[Aspidistra]

it has to be.....

There was one in the gang who had Scalextric
And because of that he thought he was better than you
Everyday after school you would go round there to play it
Hoping to compete for some kind of championship
But it always took about fifteen billion hours to set the track up
And even when you did the thing never seemed to work

It was a dodgy transformer again and again
A dodgy transformer again and again
It was a dodgy transformer again and again
A dodgy transformer that cost three pound ten

So he'd send his doting mother up the stairs with the stepladders
To get the Subbuteo out of the loft
He had all the accessories required for that big match atmosphere
The crowd and the dugout and the floodlights too
You'd always get palmed off with a headless centre forward
And a goalkeeper with no arms and a face like his

And he'd managed to get hold of a Dukla Prague away kit
'cause his uncle owned a sports shop and he'd kept it to one side
And after only five minutes you'd be down to ten men
'cause he'd sent off your right back for taking the base from under his left winger
And come to half time you were losing four-nil
Each and every goal a hotly disputed penalty
So you'd smash up the floodlights and the match was abandoned
And the dog would bark and you'd be banned from his house
And your travelling army of synthetic supporters
Would be taken away from you and thrown in the bin

Now he's working in a job with a future
He hands me my giro every two weeks
And me I'm on the lookout for a proper transformer .....

(All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit by Half Man half Biscuit)

[Holden MacGroyn]

Here I am,
I'm the master of your destiny.
I am the one, the only one, I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize.
Give me your kings,
Let me squeeze then in my hands,
Your puny princes,
Your so called leaders of your land.
I'll eat them whole before I'm done,
The battle's fought and the game is won,
I am the one, the only one,
I am the god of kingdom come.
Gimme the prize just gimme the prize.


Gimme The Prize - Queen
From the soundtrack to Highlander.

Pure, total, rocking, class.

[The Last Word]

Took a while to decide on this one, Steve, but here's three blinders:


1.New Order: As It Is When It Was:

In a world where I've forgotten you
I find myself forgotten too


2. The Smiths: This Charming Man:

Why pamper life's complexities
When the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat


3. Manic Street Preachers: This Is Yesterday:

Someone somewhere soon will take care of you
I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart
Houses as ruins and gardens as weeds
Why do anything when you can forget everything

I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday


Beat that, Dylan.
