(And what is the meaning of "yodeling up the canyon is the dirty old blue boar"? WATFORD GAP (Roy Harper) Just about a mile from where the motorways all merge You can view the national edifice, the monumental splurge It's the lonesome traveler's rotgut or bacteria's revenge The great plastic spectacular descendant of Stonehenge The people come to worship on their death-defying wheels Fancy dressed as shovels for their death-defying meals CH: It's the Watford Gap, the Watford Gap Plate of grease and a load of crap At 1 a.m. on Sunday you can hear the boys declare That the other team were fairies and the ref was Fred Astaire It's Chopper Ronnie's fan club on their weekly pilgrimage To stick the hero's boot in all the way from Stamford Bridge And without a solid concrete burger no night is complete Plastic cups of used bath water wash away defeat (CH) The traffic jam is rattling like a five-mile cornered snake With fuming pieces falling off and steaming in its wake ?????????? Spaghetti junction ???????? The countryside is ravaged like a syphilitic whore And yodeling up the canyon is the dirty old blue boar (CH) Cheers, Michael |

Difficult to judge listening to the track on the lp (Bullinamingvase) - must be my aging hearing, but if you go to Roy's web site i.e. www.royharper.co.uk as suggested by Phil, and submit an e-mail to info@royharper.co.uk that might help. I've tried finding the lyrics via google etc but to no avale. This may be due to the problems Roy had when he first released the track - ending up as a court case if i'm not mistaken, taken out by the owners of Watford Gap service station. Anyway, best of luck mate! vin |

Watford Gap services was called the Blue Boar,which was the name of the company that owned it. The city's like a goolie in a groupie's stagnant womb Spaghetti junction's target, in the vinegar strokes of doom. Cheers Paul |
