Lanterne Rouge Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Trying desperately to stave off relegation to the Conference (although I shall probably use the precedent of referring to it as Division 5 when I inevitably succumb to the drop). 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Paul Heaton is a great lyricist, I have always enjoyed the fact that so many of their songs have those sweet "poppy" hooks which get you singing along to what turn out to be less than sweet lyrics. Mind you sometimes he can just go straight for the jugular. Heatongrad is a good example of the latter. **** the king, and **** the queen, with an AK-47 Line 'em up against the walls, and let them talk to Heaven Give them same dice they gave us and let them roll a seven Welcome to Heatongrad When your friendly local tax dodger is lynched for all to see And the newspaper editors swing from ape and tree When the trains and buses, education, health and safety's free Welcome to Heatongrad Remember Tonygrad? Launching of the lad's might to the streets of Baghdad That made you oh-so-sad Left so far a cleft like the first meal they had They treated dear old Blighty like some death-cheap shag Now they're paying zero tax in Richard Branson's pad **** the army, **** the law, and **** their uniform You don't need no medal to know where you were born You don't need no tattooed arm to know that you're now sworn Sworn into Heatongrad Rob the rich to feed the poor, we'll tax their bleedin' blood 'Til the brain drain we dreamt about drains down to where it should The sewer rat, the alley cat, are back in charge of hood Welcome to Heatongrad Remember Tonygrad? The launching of the lad's might to the streets of Baghdad That made you oh-so-sad Left so far a cleft like the first meal they had They treated dear old Blighty like some death-cheap shag Now they're paying zero tax in Richard Branson's pad Freedom's just a clever word The mighty like to use Election, chance to drop your pants And see who actually screws Liberty don't pay your bills Put your kids in shoes Welcome to Heatongrad Where the only person using cars Is those who cannot walk For a wheelchair's an ability Not a chance to stop and gawk Leave the army now, you fools And join the Heaton corps Sign up to Heatongrad And advertising, patronising, sexualising young Tip man's ladder of success and grease up every bum Women, if you need a need a voice with each and every lung Sing along to Heatongrad Sing along to Heatongrad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
