So this song is about Liverpool and the 'fantastic' European Capital of CUlture year which 'blessed' the city. Basically, you dress some people up in fancy costumes, send em out into the streets on a couple of nights and then have slightly better exhibitions at the art galleries and some bullshit awards ceremonies at the new arena. yaaaaay. Oh and you get a load of new shops which were already in the town centre so now you have loads of new shops in the ugly new part of town and a load of shitty shops left in the actual city centre. Laaaaaaaaame.
Anyway...
I went down to the riverside and there what did I see?
An angry mob with pitchforks lined up on New Brighton* beach.
And as they rowed towards me I prepared to give them hell!!!
But little did I know they came to save us from ourselves.
So I went drinking with the rock'n'rollers.
Down in The Swan I be sipping rum and colas.
The moths have flown into the light but they ain't gonna stay
So the Liver birds** have packed their bags and flown the fuck away!
Hey-hey! I went to Liverpool today
Hey-hey! And I think we've lost our way
Hey-Hey! So I've got just one thing to say,
Would Mr. Firefighter*** come and save the fucking day hey-hey!
If Dixie Dean**** could see this he'd be rolling in his grave,
With Robert Paisley***** drowned in tears beneath the Shankly gates
We got a brand new shopping centre
But then fuck all for the poor
The 'pool of live' has sold her soul and now she is a whore
So I'll keep drinking with the rock'n'rollers.
Down in The Swan I'll be sipping rum and colas.
The moths have flown into the light but they ain't gonna stay
So the Liver birds have packed their bags and flown the fuck away!
Hey-hey! I went to Liverpool today
Hey-hey! And I think we've lost our way
Hey-Hey! So I've got just one thing to say,
Would Mr. Firefighter come and save the fucking day hey-hey!
* New Brighton is a town on the opposite side of the river from Liverpool.
** The Liver Birds are the symbol of the city of Liverpool and adorn the city's most famous building.
*** Mr. Firefighter refers to Cllr. Warren Bradley, the 'leader' of Liverpool council, self-proclaimed 'man of the people' and all-round TWAT.
**** Dixie Dean played for Everton and once scored 60 goals in a season. A feat unmatched by anybody in the game.
***** Bob Paisley was one of Liverpool FC's great managers, Bill Shankly (after whom the gates to Liverpool's stadium are named) was the other one.
A thank-youuuuu.
This song really won't mean anything to anybody but ah-well.
The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler
I want my 5 minutes back
When it comes to pink butterflies i could give a flying fuck.
