The Fly

Howl in one.

Standing on a golf course
Dressed in P.V.C.
I chanced upon a Golf Girl
Selling cups of tea
She asked me did I want one
Asked me with a grin
For three pence you can buy one
Full right to the brim

So of course I had to have one
In fact I ordered three
So I could watch the Golf Girl
Could see she fancied me
And later on the golf course
After drinking tea
It started raining golf balls
And she protected me

Her name was Pat
And we sat under a tree
She kissed me
We go for walks
In fine weather
All together
On the golf course
We talk in morse

This is it.....

Is this my favourite song of all time??

Probably.



I could tell you lies
And spoil the surprise
I could say we made the team
But who needs them anyway?

Who needs a clean break
As long as we get laid
And paid

I guess you could say
We Made The Team
As long as we get laid
And paid

I guess you could say
We made the team...

Top 50 Outrageous trousers

Today, The Irish Times published a list of the 50 best Irish 'music acts' RIGHT NOW and top of the pops, first in the list, is yesboyicecream's very own MICHAEL KNIGHT. The list details levels of awesomeness for various Irish 'acts, awarding Michael Knight an 'awesomeness' rating of 50. Curiously, many of the acts one might expect them to rate more highly are only awarded single-digit ratings.

There is also an online discussion of the list.

I have nothing to add other than I thought it a little ungenerous for one commentator to remark that the list spoke volumes for the level of quality within Irish music at the moment.

NEXT UP: THE BATS - THE GUILTY OFFICE! It is a great, great record and I am going to post some mp3s from it here.

I can't help it...

My friends, please, hear me do
I've got a message just for you

Now have you someone who you really love -
A special person who you think the whole world of?
And does this someone have a hold on you -
And they won't let go, but you don't want them to?

And so, to whom it concerns
All yours in love, that's whom it concerns
You can't help it, you like it feeling this way
You wanna be loved everyday

You can't sleep at night 'cos love is on your mind
And that's how love can sometimes treat you so unkind
When at last sleep comes, who do you dream of?
The most wonderful person, yes, the one you love

And so, to whom it concerns
All yours in love, that's whom it concerns
You can't help it, you like it feeling this way
You wanna be loved everyday

And so, to whom it concerns
All yours in love, that's whom it concerns
You can't help it, you like it feeling this way
You wanna be loved everyday

Wouldn't it be grand to have cash on demand?

Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor
A beautiful day we had lunch on the way
And all for under a pound you know
But on the way back I cuddled with Jack
And we opened a bottle of cider
Singing a few of our favourite songs as the wheels went round

Do you recall the thrill of it all as we walked along the sea front
Then on the sand we heard a brass band that played De Diddle De Bum Ta Ra Ra
Elsie and me had some cups of tea then we took a peddler boat out
Splashing away as we toured round the bay and the wheels went round

Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor
A beautiful day we had lunch on the way
And all for under a pound you know
But on the way back I cuddled with Jack
And we opened a bottle of cider
Singing a few of our favourite songs as the wheels went round

Wasn't it nice eating chocolate ice as we strolled around the funfair
Then we ate eels on the big Ferris wheel as we sailed above the ground but then
We had to be quick because Elsie felt sick and we had to find somewhere to take her
I said to her lad "what made her feel bad?" ‘twas the wheel going round

Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor
A beautiful day we had lunch on the way
And all for under a pound you know
But on the way back I cuddled with Jack
And we opened a bottle of cider
Singing a few of our favourite songs as the wheels went round

Elsie and me we finished our tea, and said goodbye to the sea side
Back on the bus Flo says to us oh isn't it a shame to go
Wouldn't it be grand to have cash on demand, and to live like this for always
Oh it makes me feel ill when I think of the Mill and the wheels going round

Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor
A beautiful day we had lunch on the way
And all for under a pound you know
Then on the way back I cuddled with Jack
And we opened a bottle of cider
Singing a few of our favourite songs as the wheels went round
