23 Aug 99 - 12:59 PM (#107718) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for 'Pomch & Judy Man' Lyric From: Pelrad I couldn't find it in a brief search of the web, but I happen to have the song memorized. Assuming, of course, that it is the same one, written by Dave ?? and sung by Dick Holdstock of Holdstock and MacLeod. I have to attend a baby birthday party in a few minutes and don't have time to type it all in, but I will come back tonight and do it, if no one else has by then. :-) |

23 Aug 99 - 02:48 PM (#107751) Subject: Lyr Add: MARILLION and ENGLISH SETTLEMENT SESSIONS From: _gargoyle Ahh...Punch and Judy One of my all time FAVORITES!
MARILLION -1988
Washing machine, pinstripe dream stripped the gloss from a beauty queen
Whatever happened to pillow fights?
Punch, Punch, Punch and Judy
Curling tongs, mogadons
Whatever happened to morning smiles?
Punch, Punch, Punch and Judy
Propping up a bar, family car, sweating out a mortgage as a balding clerk
The ENGLISH SETTLEMENT SESSIONS. (Gather 'round!)
Punch and Judy did it truly and were married in a haste
This must be make-believe
Punch and Judy in a semi on a brand new council plot
Punch and Judy in a quandary, she's walked out and he is mad
Aural Sculpture (1984)
Punch is keeping his big nose clean
Punch always had a sense of humour
See such soul and beauty
Punch has played the famous villain
See such soul and beauty
Either/Or
a wallflower Punch talks to Judy

23 Aug 99 - 06:53 PM (#107810) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for 'Pomch & Judy Man' Lyric From: Bobby Bob, Ellan Vannin I think the song you're looking for is the one by John Conolly (of Grimsby). He's written a good few songs (good songs, too), including the one with the last line of each verse and the chorus:
And the Punch and Judy Man has gone forever.
Mr Punch and Judy Man, Some images I can remember - "Blows the east wind like a dragon" is one: "Winter's painting icicles . . .". I hope this jogs someone's memory. I've got it on vinyl, which I can't play at the moment. Shoh slaynt, Bobby Bob |

23 Aug 99 - 07:23 PM (#107817) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for 'Pomch & Judy Man' Lyric From: Bobby Bob, Ellan Vannin Yes, that's the one I was struggling to get to. Whilst scouting around, I came up with this from a May list of CDs on offer - "John Conolly with Bill Meek - By Humbers Brown Water, The Songs of John Conolly - John Conolly wrote "Fiddlers Green", "Punch and Judy Man" and many other fine songs that have been so frequently performed in folk clubs that they are often believed to be traditional. This double CD contains tracks taken from six mostly privately pressed albums. Only a few hundred have been pressed so far and distribution is very limited. - 18 pounds Also available; John Conolly's New album from Fellside - Trawlertown, the Singing of the Fishing (with Pete Sumner) at 12 pounds, and Donkeys Breakfast featuring John Conolly - The Farmer and the fisherman, Songs and Music from Lincolnshire - at 10 pounds" Bannaghtyn reesht, Bobby Bob |
24 Aug 99 - 08:52 AM (#107998) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for 'Pomch & Judy Man' Lyric From: GeorgeH There's at least one Punch and Judy song which appears to have escaped the net . . written by the guy who wrote "The Internet song" (John Pole?? very unsure here!) It was sung by the MacColl/Seeger family, and what's really annoying me about not being able to remember more is that I sent a copy of a tape of them singing it on the radio to the author a couple of years back . . I guess I must be getting old! G. |
24 Aug 99 - 01:30 PM (#108067) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for 'Pomch & Judy Man' Lyric From: Barbara The one Dick Holdstock sings has a chorus someting like "Whack 'em on the head" says Punchinello .....(missing words)... a right good fellow"
Is that it? |
24 Aug 99 - 01:34 PM (#108069) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for 'Pomch & Judy Man' Lyric From: Barbara And, of course, gang, the one we want, John Pole's 'Punch and Judy' is here in the database. That's the one Dick Holdstock sings. Blessings, Barbara |
24 Aug 99 - 04:25 PM (#108127) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for 'Pomch & Judy Man' Lyric From: Bobby Bob, Ellan Vannin There was also a song called "Punch and Judy" by the group, Marillion. I don't remember it myself, but it cropped up when I was trying to find the John Conolly song. Shoh slaynt, Bobby Bob |

17 Jul 07 - 09:43 AM (#2105095) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Punch & Judy Man From: oggie If you can find a copy, Humberside Leisure Services published "The Singing River - songs by John Conolly and Bill Meek" back in 1985. It contains 25 of their best songs. Unfortunately a) it's been out of print for many years although the Libraries in the former Humberside may have copies stashed away for inter-library loan and b) it was printed on olive green heavy duty paper wich scans or photocopies horrbly. The songs in it are :- Ballad of the Humber Bridge, Lincoln Castle, Tough Old Town, Bayards Leap, The Bellman's Son, Estuary, Ranter's Wharf, Castles in the Air, Tomorrow Never Comes, Sally on the Corner, My Old Man, Close ypur eyes and look, Another Morning, Punch and Judy Man, Out of Season, Dancing Days, Charlie in the Meadow, The Jester, The Grimsby Lads, Harry Eddom, The Trawling Trade, Sailortown, Men of the Sea, Lumper's life, Fiddler's Green. It's beautifully lettered and illustrated by Twink Addison. All the best Steve |
