(...)
[John:] We brought you the flowers, Ring.
[Brian:] He's not allowed to talk.
[Ringo:] Eh?

"Fireman" dos Baby Shambles (2013)


Down the made orange
With the pimps and the peddlers
Looking like Colombo
Feeling like Holmes the Meddler

It's breakfast time
Have a pot of wine
Sucking on a bone
Chewing on a microphone

I am a fireman
I live in a Lisbon bus shelter 
I am the fireman
Satan's little helper

All the Brits abroad
Looking for an easy score
Talk about North Korea
And think about your career

I am a fireman
I live in a Lisbon bus shelter I am the fireman
Says I am a fireman
I am a fireman


At the fireman's convention
In Buenos Aires
Says I am a fireman
I am the fireman

"Pretenders To The Throne" dos Beautiful South (1995)


Is it Cologne with it's great cathedral? Milan with it's glamour and it's pace? London with it's river and it's bridges? Lisbon with it's beauty and it's grace? Funny looking buses Climb it's pot-bellied hills And a solitary jogger Times the time he kills Do you know where I'm gonna go? None of you have guessed, so none of you can know If you've been, that's not where I mean It's got class and it's got excellence like you've never seen Your town is dragging me down Dragging me down, down, down Your town is dragging me down Dragging me down, down, down Is it Dublin with it's culture and it's wit? Madrid with it's market square? Paris with it's bustling cafes? Hull with it's musical flair? Do you know where I'm gonna go? None of you have guessed so none of you can know If you've been, that's not where I mean It's got class and it's got excellence like you've never seen Your town is dragging me down Is dragging me down, down, down Your town is dragging me down Is dragging me down, down, down As I watch them drop the grain into your fish tank brain How can you like this place when it never even rains? Never even rains Your town is dragging me down Is dragging me down, down, down Your town is dragging me down Is dragging me down, down, down Is dragging me down, down, down Is dragging me down, down, down Is dragging me down, down, down

"Pretenders to the Throne" de The Beautiful South (1995)


Is it Cologne with its great cathedral?
Milan with its glamour and its pace?
London with its river and its bridges?
Lisbon with its beauty and its grace?

Funny looking buses
Climb its pot-bellied hills
And a solitary jogger
Times the time he kills

Do you know where I'm gonna go?
None of you have guessed, so none of you can know
If you've been, that's not where I mean
It's got class and it's got excellence like you've never seen

Your town is dragging me down
Dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Dragging me down, down, down

Is it Dublin with its culture and its wit?
Madrid with its market square?
Paris with its bustling cafes?
Hull with its musical flair?

Do you know where I'm gonna go?
None of you have guessed so none of you can know
If you've been, that's not where I mean
It's got class and it's got excellence like you've never seen

Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down

As I watch them drop the grain into your fish tank brain
How can you like this place when it never even rains?

Never even rains

Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down

Is dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down

"Luton to Lisbon" de Fischer Z


Born to stay in a new world of grey towns.
Now we pay for the years of decline.
Half the world concerned with it’s future.
Half the world preparing to die.

All the same from Luton to Lisbon.
Just the name providing a clue.
Chainstore towns in faraway places.
Mark the end of the capital boom
