Obscure Lyrics – I’ll give you obscure!

Ohh, Jimbo, you have problems with obscure Smiths lyrics - I can quote the track 'Hoop Skirt' from Amoeba cassette 'Wet Again'* quoting the Smiths -- 'Under the iron bridge we kissed'

Funny how my memory skips while looking over manuscripts of unpublished rhyme, the food of love is now turned to chyme.

Ahh I can remember friends poetry from 1986 but I cant remember to send my niece a birthday present, oh the inhumanity of it all.

* ‘Or was it pink and pearls’?

..its so lonely on a limb

So, Its been twenty years this month (Jan) since ‘The Queen Is Dead’ came out.

There is a great article in this months Uncut magazine with interviews with Messrs Marr, Joyce and Rourke.

I’ve kicked the Titanic obsession and am now in full Smiths fan mode – Hand me my cardigan!

But seriously, I didn’t know there where 2 different versions of ‘Boy With A Thorn In His Side’ until today.

And there will be a box set coming out this year. 9-12 minute version of 'The Queen Is Dead'

The BBC headline said ' Human bird flu spreads in Turkey'.

b. Is it Bird flu, or
c. Is it Human-Bird flu?

If its Human-Bird Flu than that could only mean one thing.. Koo Koo is feeling unwell.

Welcome to the world of tomorrow..

Now that I have made a blog I feel strangely compelled not to use it. As Mr Bragg one said, the chase is always better than the kill.
