I was playing this song a few years ago in my house when I was married. When I played it to a visiting couple that we knew, they said - "That's us"... I'm not married anymore and it's great. Thanks Half Man Half Biscuit, you should be life coaches.
Awesome band. Seen them live in Aberdeen when I was around 17 or 18. Fkn mental night, and had followed them since I was around 15. Great to hear them still going now I'm 55 with their unique blend of truth, satire and fk you.
Used to love seeing these when they first started up in Birkenhead and Liverpool, great band whom I found myself with in the middle of a football riot during a Tranmere Rovers benefit gig in about 1986, fun times.
I'm gigging with Dean on Friday. I have this on my rig eq list even though it's crap for eq'ing a rig. HMHB ruined my life when they announced in the Green room that they were tea total. Smashing lads
I could be tugging on the beard of science like a cheeky schoolboy, but I couldn’t be bothered. That’s why I’m still in the box room, face down in the last ditch - my natural home. "I Can Do That"...but I don’t really want to. I used to cajole Gordon Giltrap - I used to think that it mattered, but the low drone of the treadmill is the sound of my hopes being shattered. I should be standing in a chaos of sunflowers with a girl from Machynlleth, but I’m down at the Children’s Zoo kicking off on the goats. Increasing doubt, decreasing hope...even my imaginary friend went and changed his mind. I turned my back on Nazareth...I used to think that it mattered, but the low drone of the treadmill is the sound of my hopes being shattered.
