Stuff you dont get in the US

[Tommy Tainant]

I never cared for these guys at the time but now I am prepared to say that this is a work of utter genius.

To translate ...........the song is about a potential family dispute that the singer is prepared and ready for.

the word genius gets thrown around to often....

60 years ago, we were infested with British beatles.

I've never forgiven England for that.

It's not that we don't get it, we simply don't want it.

There is a difference.

They were billed as "Rockneys"

I could barely understand any of the lyrics in that one.

Nobody can.
Ive added the lyrics but they dont seem too accurate to me. Its a song of male empowerment if you read them.

There is going to be a row but he is ready for it. He has his cans of beer on the sideboard and is ready to let Mother deal with it. That is how all family disputes should be handled.

As a comparison I would suggest its the male equivalent to "Im Every Woman".

Mother phoned up last night she was going spare
She was in a temper pulling out her hair
"Your sisters brought in this scruffy looking head
Father dont give a monkeys this is what he said"

I dont care I dont care I dont care if he comes round here
I got my beer and a sideboard here let mother sort it out
if he comes round here

I said to me mother let me have a talk to dad
so he comes to the telephone he wasnt half mad
says "shes got no sense the silly little cow
and if he comes round here theres gonna be a row"

"I'll tell you something else an' all he's never got a job
he hangs around the betting shop the lazy little yob"
mother says "calm down dad hes alright
there out there snogging in the passage all night"

"I'll tell you something else an' all he's never got a job
he hangs around the betting shop the lazy little yob"
mother says "calm down dad hes alright
there out there snogging in the passage all night"

Biggy was a tramp with stubble on his chin
he looks like something that the cats brought in
never got no money smokes all my fags
got holes in his soles and his hanging in rags

On top of that he says i tell you why i got the hump
she had a skinny little belly now its sticking out the front
theres nothing seems to fit her shes a running out of clothes
if he thinks he takes a liberties i'll punch him on the nose
piano solo
twin vocal chorus
