Wham! Bam! my cat Splash
lies on my bed with his tongue puffed out
by drinking all my whisky.
As for me, not enough sleep, drained, persecuted,
I had to sleep in the gutter
where I had a flash
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
in four colours

Allez-oop! One morning
a darling came to my home,
a cellophane puppet with Chinese hair,
a plaster, a hangover,
drank my beer in a large rubber glass
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
like an Indian in his igloo

This works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me
This work for me
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This works for me

Allez-oop! The chick, what a gas!
what a vibration!
to be sent on the door mat
filed, ruined, drained, filled
You are the King of the divan!
she says to me in passing
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
I am the King of the divan

This works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me
This works for me
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This works for me

Allez-oop! Don’t mind, don’t worry
Don’t affect me
It’s not today
that the sky will fall on my head
and I’ll be without glue
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This life’s for me

Allez-oop! my chick has gone away,
flew away, finally had enough, to break
the sink, the bar, leaving me alone
like a complete jerk
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
I’ve put my foot in it

This works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me
This works for me
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This works for me
This works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me

(translated from the original French)
Ca Plane Pour Moi – Plastic Bertrand

itself based on the gay punk anthem “Jet Boy, Jet Girl” about a 15-year old boy’s sexual relationship with another guy, who then rejects him for a girl.

Do I question my loyalties
Do I try to work it out
See you’re the part of my memories
That I never wanna live without

For so long I’ve been gone
So many things have changed
But I know where I belong
And I know when I reach that place

Oh…I know when I reach that place
Yeah yeah yayyy . . .

See the rain come down while the sun is shining
See them dance into the night
See the rain come down while the sun is shining
I stand at the base of my mountain high
And dance into the night

And the Skank beat’s Rocking my life
The Skank beat Rocking my life
Skank be the Rock in my life
Ooh yah (Rocking my life)
I keep on telling you
(Skank beat) Rock in my life
I keep on telling you

Fire ! . . . Starts in my heart when I reach that place
Home again where I belong
Fire ! . . . Starts in my heart when I reach that place
But have I been away too long?
Fire ! . . . Starts in my heart when I reach that place
Home again where I belong
Fire ! . . . Starts in my heart when I reach this place
But have I been away too long

Have I been away too long ?

apparently some football team called …chelsea ??….. ( immediately reaches for strongest mouthwash) . . . . .think they OWN the above tune.

But then they would. They think they own everything – although other teams also use it for their pre-match entertainment.

C’est la vie rodney.

To see how early reggae even penetrated Stax records, have a listen to the wonderful I’ll Take You There by The Staple Singers, which is in fact a version of the Liquidator rhythm.

you cannot be serious Sir Noddy

When, in all those years, did you show any evidence of ‘thinking’ ?

8. Seascape could er be anywhere around here

Only the water, solid
and glinting. Only
the noise of the water,

and the noise of the moon
slowly deflating, and
only the noise of the stars

being solid, clinking,
keeps me awake
all day.

5. An old seadog er speaks

First it was called NCB, you’d see it
on the boats, then British Coal, on
the wharves, then they changed the name
to British A Vase of Flowers, changed all
the boats, all the wharves, all the
signs outside the pits, then they
changed it to British Very Nice
and a month later to British Smile
and they kept repainting the boats
and wharves the fish the seaweed the

6. er from a Learned Paper about the Seascapes

Very few of er the South Yorkshire
Coastal Mining Settlements survive
in anything like their original

er state. Some have become islands,
some have sunk into the sea, some
have worked loose from the earth

and slither around the countryside
scaring er owls and other woodland
creatures. One was found in Harrogate

a town in North Yorkshire next to
the sea. ‘It had er wings’ said a local
‘and was tired from much hard flying.’

Legendary night that !!

And for charity too, cool. Small point but does anyone know which team actually won ? I BET IT WAS THE PROFS hahaha …………so glad I got home in time, but couldn’t tell who half the names were, lol. I caught Cath x singing, she really should have done the reggae version methinks; sorry to Esme and La Rubesta but I crashed out before you had your go’s, twas a bit late……

I was mightily impressed by Sarge’s rendition of ‘Let It Snow’……. wow……. that sure got me clicking me fingers. I even started to make suggestive movements towards certain las vegas casinos in the manner of danny ocean or summat.

Thank you Radio Guys dan, dexter and especially aaron who is great when you call in. Special snog to GM and the wonderful CL for all the hard work behind the scenes.

Well done pats, poet and all the team peeps, **directs a festive nod to fellow PROFS ** and in fact everybody who has contributed to make these nights a right good laff.

Please excuse me while I take a victory lap around my laptop…… and …err…..have we booked a very PROFessorial open-top bus to go through forum three yet ?? ( stick it in ya ears playfings)
; o )

A Big Merry Christmas to all

3. er Darfield Seascape

And the waves pound
against Clifton’s shop
and Clifton’s shop never closes.
On Christmas Day someone rushes in
for a pair of tights. She has
a bulging purse from Habitat
in the shape of a bath
filled with coal. Put it this way:
Darfield was mentioned in the Domesday Book.
Put it like this: a passing mention,
more of a mutter.

4. Little Houghton seascape er like

British Coal
sold the houses

made us live
in heads

Great big
severed heads.

Rows of heads
overlooking the sea.

Sometimes I stand
in the eyes

and I cry.
Then I burn

the tears.
Cheaper than coal.
