The web site advertises his "new" album "God's Own Country," which came out in 2005, but I don't see any song title there that resembles the one requested. The closest I can find there is SILLY OLD BUGGER, which appears on his album "Wanted: Live!" (1991). |

It showed what a sparkling guitarist that Bernard is , in spite of some people might get the impression that he is just a 3 Chord funny man. No sir , a bloody good guitarist an'all. Cheers Betsy |

(Thackray - well, you did ask!) Seconded - Bernard's an accomplished guitarist - for those interested he has a whole album of instrumental guitar tracks that came out in 1988 and was remastered with extra tracks on CD more recently (see his website for details, link given above). |

21 Aug 06 - 03:56 AM (#1814887) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bernard Wriggley: Bugger from Yorkshire From: Scrump No, it's one 'g' - Wrigley - as pointed out by Jim Dixon above. Going back to the original point - I don't know the song in question. Maybe it has a different title, or 'appen Loofyman hasn't recorded it yet. |

16 Jan 16 - 09:47 AM (#3765949) Subject: Lyr Req: SOME BUGGER FROM YORKSHIRE (B Wrigley) From: GUEST,Ray According to the sleeve notes, it was co-written with Steve Morris. Thanks for the transcript Colin, I've cleaned things up and corrected the odd mistake - its important to get the fifth verse right! Now the misses and me like to roam far and wide, Leaving routine and humdrum behind. We like to jet off to some place we've not tried Where we aim to relax and unwind. In a four-star hotel overlooking the bay, We stand gawping in sheer disbelief and dismay, 'Cos we come down for breakfast the very first day And we meet with some bugger from Yorkshire. Now we try to avoid all the popular spots, The Costas, Gibraltar and Greece. We go for exotic 'cos we love it lots. We like to find peace, perfect peace. We once found a place on a mountain in Spain, Where they always have sunshine and never have rain, But just as we stepped off the ten o'clock train, We met with some bugger from Yorkshire. Now we stayed in a monastery high in Nepal, Where the monks never laugh and don't speak. We once spent a few days in Butlins an' all, Where a morning feels more like a week. We've stayed in resorts that are wacky and weird, Where nobody's heard of, or so it appeared, 'Til, from the bar we hear ,"Ne'then"; it's just as we feared, There's always some bugger from Yorkshire. He's always called Rodney or Roland or Rick From Rippon or Robin Hood's Bay. He's boring and dull and he gets on your wick, 'Cos he talks about cricket all day. You dodge him at breakfast; you give him the slip. You fancy a morning well clear of his grip, Then it turns out you're booked on the same sodding trip, Sitting next to some bugger from Yorkshire. Now we signed up last summer for camping in Crete, With a couple from Wallsend on Tyne. We noticed the moustache and rather large feet, But her partner assured us she's fine. Then late in the night from the neighbouring tent, We heard an old tale with a cricketing bent, How he took seven wickets to win against Kent. Hell's bells! It's some bugger from Yorkshire. So if you've a fancy to ramble or roam, From the African plains to the Vatican dome, Tek' my advice: try a fortnight at home, And you won't meet some bugger fro' Yorkshire. |

03 Jun 19 - 05:57 AM (#3995053) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Some Bugger from Yorkshire (B Wrigley) From: GUEST Just to put the record straight. Everyone seems to assume that Bernard wrote this song. Sorry but he didn't, it was penned by a true comedy genius Steve Morris from Chorley in Lancs. |

03 Jun 19 - 09:27 AM (#3995091) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Some Bugger from Yorkshire (B Wrigley) From: GUEST,Ray Hello anonymous guest. According to Bernard’s CD, which I have in front of me, the song was co-written. Exactly which of the two had the greater hand I’ve no idea and doesn’t really matter insofar as apportioning royalties is concerned. |
