Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Does anyone recognise this song? From: GUEST,Captain Swing Date: 18 Sep 01 - 02:46 PM "however what at the time seemed like a song without meaning now seems quite sensible" - is this the result of my previous bad diction or your current insanity? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Does anyone recognise this song? From: Egmond Date: 17 Sep 01 - 04:26 PM Thats the one Capt. I remember the first two verses and now after reading the other two verses from the digi trad I do recall most of it, however what at the time seemed like a song without meaning now seems quite sensible. Maybe because I now have the correct words and not the words that I thought you were singing at the time. Life seemed so much simpler then. Maybe I could still get away with singing my words, would anyone know?? |

That's the one we used the idiot board for - the idiot board with the spelling mistake on - the spelling mistake which Brain Dawson corrected with a red pen during a performance. |

THE BROKEN-DOWN SQUATTER |
Subject: Does anyone recognise this song? From: Egmond Date: 16 Sep 01 - 03:50 AM Many years ago when I first started singing in folk clubs I learnt a song that I have long since forgotten. Having recently restarted singing in clubs again I wondered if any one had the words to it. Unfortunately I can only remember the chorus and the first two verses. The first verse went,
Oh come, stumpy old man, let us shift while we can.
Chorus:
I have tried searching the DigiTrad but nothing comes up. |
