Hurrah! Bobby Chariot's back tonight! Anyway Sinister peeps I've loads to say but seeing as I only post about once a month to the list I better get going Re: The Trial. Saw the film recently and I can't say I found it remotely funny. It wasn't bad, I just didn't get any humour in it. Am I thick? The Orson Biog "Rosebud" reckons it's a masterpiece but I prefer "Touch Of Evil" any day. Up til now I've always thought that our old mate JJ was a fine upstanding bloke. A Divine Comedy fan, a fan of the (ahem) Mighty Reds, he even insulted a friend of mine over the list which gave me a good laugh but Big Country???? Sorry mate, but I'm disappointed. The Divine Comedy are an obvious one in the books/band name thing. Not only is the name borrowed, but large chunks of the lyrics are taken from literary types - "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" is an F Scott Fitzgerald short story shortened further, "Lucy" is a Wordsworth poem set to music and so on. This is either theft or genius. I go for the latter. A combination of boredom and RRRRRRRoooodd's lyrics quotes at the end of his messages got me thinking about my own fave lyrics. I don't know if there's a thread in this or not, but here's a few that I love any way. I've no idea why. Hopefully a couple of you will know the songs and think "yeah, that's a good one". I didn't bother with any B&S, I'm sure ye all have loads of them. Anyone else have fave lyrics out there? (If you can be arsed) "I wore my fringe like Roger Mc Guinn's I did it only to impress So frankly camp it made you laugh Tomorrow I'll buy myself a dress" from Orange Juice's "Consolation Prize" "Just wait until tomorrow I guess that's what they all say Just before they fall apart" From New Order's "Regret" "When a woman learns to walk She's not dependent any more A line from your letter May 24" From The Go-Betweens' "Bye Bye Pride" "If there ain't a heaven that holds us tonight They never sang Doo-Wop In Harlem" From Prefab Sprout's "Doo Wop In Harlem" I've said too much already Ronan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
