Half Man Half Biscuit lyrics (cheer me up)

Rod Hull is Alive - Why?

"... they said you died at seven of something in your head,
I asked the sister why it wasn't someone else instead ... "
 
I'd just like to say that I am from Birkenhead. A mate sold (or more probably in his adulation, gave) evil drugs to various members of HMHB. I am extremely proud of Birkenhead's greatest (and possibly only) cultural export.

The missus is a "woollyback" too, and she's quite proud of 'em as well. :)

You call Glastonbury Glasto
You'd like to go there one day
When they put up the gun towers
To keep the hippies away

Have they ever played Glasto? ;) :D

I'm sure they have, but not that I remember ...

They're brilliant, but I don't know more than a fraction of their stuff, so this thread is great ... :)
 
we sat and decided as the seaons collided
that our love was fairly utopian
if it wasnt for my pills, my psychiatric bills
and your unreliable fallopian
then i guess wed be fine
embraced on cloud 9
emotionally impossible to sever
you turn around quickly andever so sickly
i tell you id love you forever

can't remember the rest.. I think it's from a song called 1966 an all that..

Anyone remember the one (Ablert hammond bootleg i think) with the line something like "and she said that Robin Askwith was funny" What ever happened to him?

1986, if memory serves. certainly not since, they barely play at all to be honest. probably 5-6 shows a year

I remember a smash hits (sister's copy ahem) glastonbury feature with a pic of them in it from 1980 something.

Tis true. Was my first Glasto and I saw 'em play there. Along with the Housemartins, Pogues, Cure, & Psychodelic Furs amongst others. Ahhh.... to be 18 again :(
 
Singing HMHB as I walk down the street...

At a certain time of night, you may see me walking down a street in Camden singing:

"A million housewives wake up each day,
And look at a can of beans and say,
What a perfect example of synchronisation..."


Usually when I'm walking past Sainsburys!
 
This thread has got to be worth a hefty heave up from the past, if not full archive glory.

In any case:

"If Jesus came to earth today
They'd crucify him straight away
Upon a cross off MDF
And they'd use No Need For Nails"


and

"Oh help me Mrs Meddlicot
I don't know what to do
I've only got three bullets
And there's four of Motley Crue"


and from ages back

"Frank was going through a state of depression in his bedroom,
When he reached out for the jar,
He swallowed every last pill and he lay back on his duvet,
A Haliborange overdose is perhaps not the best way,
OOOOOOH-OOH,
To kill yourself"
 
Oddly enough when I lived in the Rhondda valley they played up the road in Aberdare community hall, or some such :confused: I couldn't make it alas...
 
Bump!

Comedy hypnotist
When you wake up you'll be me
And you'll walk to the side of the road and you'll see
All the cars and the lorries and the buses and vans
And to you they'll be like
Savoury snacks
And you're feeling really huuuuungry
And you're just about to eaaaaat one go on
You know you want to!

:o ;)

<edited because I'd already made the HMHB Glasto appearance point, something I'd posted about in this thread over two years ago! :o >
 
Can't believe I'd forgotten this thread ...

"99% of gargoyles look like Bob Todd"

Who the hell WAS Bob Todd anyway? :confused:

If folks like us get confused by some of HMHB's lyrics, how the hell do Americans get on? :p
Ultimate confuse the Yanks band ...

Have you ever wondered how you get triangles from a cow :D

:D

Rumours still persist of a possible HMHB festival appearance ... or so has been hinted!

Balls - just tuned in time for the last song. I might have to investigate these podcast things that are all the rage.
 
Can't get a hit
Seems like what you've got to to do
Is dial a weller-gram
And he'll turn up at your show
And quite possibly accoustically get up on the stage
And declare your band to be a really good one
With fine tunes and credible shoes
Have a glass of sass with Paulo Hewitt
Flirt with brass and tlater rue it
