Subject: RE: Lyr Req: michael marra's with 'baps and paste'? From: Jim Dixon Date: 15 Aug 03 - 09:19 AM "Baps and Paste" appears on an album called "The Woollen Mill Story" by someone called "Saint Andrew." That's the only recording I could find. The web site apparently has no lyrics, but it gives this description of the song: "3 Dundee women at the berries amuse themselves by insulting each other's housing schemes." (I have no idea what "at the berries" means.) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: michael marra's with 'baps and paste'? From: Leo Condie Date: 15 Aug 03 - 10:17 AM there's a very high chance that only Dundonians know what "at the berries" means. buncha weirdos. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: michael marra's with 'baps and paste'? From: GUEST,Scabby Douglas Date: 15 Aug 03 - 10:20 AM "at the berries" - probably relates to soft-fruit-picking - raspberry picking - a common-place part-time employment for summertime. Of course, it micht be some specific bit o Peh City jargon wi which eh'm unfamiliar. |

Subject: Lyr Add: BAPS AND PASTE (Michael Marra) From: Effsee Date: 29 Mar 07 - 08:34 AM Hi guitar, these lyrics are transcribed, as best I can, from a recording of a live performance. BAPS & PASTE Chorus. Baps and paste and corndog....(bread rolls and corned beef) Peace on earth and earth on piece...(piece = sandwich) Butcher's hough and tinkie's gauchles...(gelatinous mixture of cow product, Tinsmith's phlegm) Wha can tell the difference? Oh wha could bear to bide in Beechwood?...(housing scheme) Fowk keep donkeys in the bath! Eh hae better things tae dae Than hosin' doon a donkey's arse. Whaur on earth wid ye keep the coal If the creature occupied the bath? Ch. Eh dream aboot a hoose in Fintry...(housing scheme) Up tae my ears in junkies pish Corrugated iron curtains Sittin' in the loaby guddlin' fish But it seems, like a dream up to ma knees in a submarine Ch. In Mid eh saw a big Alsatian...(Mid Craigie,another housing scheme) Fag in it's mooth and a few tattoos Barkin' at the Launderette On it's feet were pointed shoes. Pointed shoes on a big Alsatian? Eh, and it hid Brylcreem on it's ears! Eh thocht that wis the speech therapist Preaching (?) tae the faithfull Ch. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: michael marra's with 'baps and paste'? From: Snuffy Date: 29 Mar 07 - 08:58 AM You're thinking of "paps" |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Baps and Paste (Michael Marra) From: GUEST,Dod Date: 21 Jul 08 - 02:31 PM I think it might be 'Whitfield' in the 2nd verse not 'Fintry' (Maybe Mr Marra uses on or the other depending how he feels on the night?) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Baps and Paste (Michael Marra) From: GUEST,kenny Date: 22 Jul 08 - 12:36 PM last 2 lines of 2nd verse - [ I think ] "What a scene - it's like a dream, Skinned ma knees oan a submarine" last line, 3rd verse - "crehin' (crying) oot tae the faithful". The 3 ladies in question were slagging off each other's housing schemes in Dundee while having their "piece" while picking raspberries in Blairgowrie, - nowadays, they'd come from Eastern Europe. |

Subject: Lyr Add: UNDER THE ULLAPOOL MOON (Michael Marra) From: John MacKenzie Date: 13 May 12 - 10:23 AM UNDER THE ULLAPOOL MOON O/M Under the Cumbernauld sky Jimmy and Moira were wondering why He loved her so much that he blackened her eye Under the Cumbernauld sky. Under the Ullapool moon Jimmy and Moira were bathing their gloom The palm trees were sulking The gulls were in tears She threw a tantrum and he disappeared But a light shone to help her back up to her feet Saying "Stalwart and brave Caledonian Hotel Please to transport me from this place to hell" Under the Ullapool moon. Then down by the post office Enter a sailor Fresh from the queue for the coffee he smiles And they laugh by the job club And he throws down his coat And palm trees are swaying And gulls they are singing And Moira is smiling with stars in her eyes Under the Ullapool sky. Under the Cumbernauld sky Janice and Raymond are saying goodbye He loved her so much that he blackened her eye Under the Cumbernauld sky And neither was cumbersome Neither was auld Angels were singing and orphans found parents Who spread all their wages around and around Under the Ullapool moon Copyright Michael Marra |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Baps and Paste (Michael Marra) From: GUEST Date: 20 Jun 21 - 11:47 AM I think ‘corndog’ is actually ‘corned dog’ as opposed to ‘corned beef’. It’s a Dundee delicacy, very popular in the poorer parts of the city. |
