[Neil C]

Following BooBoo question in the Bar here's the first song wot I ever wrote, a long, long time ago.
It a thinly disguised caricature of mates and an homage to the magnificent Ian Dury   
I remember at the time being pretty darn pleased and it has a certain laddish way about it I guess.
And of course it has to be sung in that deep London talkin accent.

A bit of the other..

Do you know what I mean?
You’re making it seem
Like a bit of the other
If you know what I mean
It’s a little bit obscene
Like a bit under cover
Of darkness, so down come the night
Someone sick again so turn on the lights

Oi Oi.... A bit of the other

Well you think you’re OK
Take the piss all the day
You’re a bit of a mother
Daddy’s clothes are so smart
You’re a bit of a fart
Oops, there goes another
Jack the lad, we’re stick in the Standard all night
Pissed as newts again its a sorry old sight

And we all like Ian Dury
And we all like Ian Dury
And we all like, a bit of the other

Kevin and Doris
Drive in a Morris
While Chris has a jolly good crap ( and tells us all about it an’ all )
Oh we’re ever so bitchy
While Chris he gets itchy
‘So scratch it’, he does in full view
Of the girls who cry “ it ain’t all there’
They laugh, they sigh but it’s all in despair

And we all like Ian Dury
And we all like Ian Dury
And we all like, a bit of the other

You gotta admit Neil, its actually got a bit charm to it.

It certainly gave me a chuckle, some of those lines took me back to my own youth.

[benjo]

hey neil,

I loved it me old cocker,  real nice feel to it
love to hear you sing it put the real flavour into it
my first song was about IAN CURTIS JOY DIVISION about his fits
but it might be a bit raw to post on here maybe i'll clean it up a bit
anyway great write mate thanks for posting
well done tony...

[Kevin j]

i like it, it looks kinda catchy 
i could really imagine it in a london accent,
 you know i might poat my first song... 

[BooBoo]

Definitely not a bad song for your your first attempt that you did. A bit rough around the edges but to e expected really. You can get the song spoken feeling from it

[Jess]

This is great for a first piece...but I still have no idea who Ian Dury is...

[Neil C]

Thanks,
I was a bit unsure about putting it up, I mean I'm not the same person but I am if that makes any sense. The words do work with the music, which I may put up one day.
Cheers for your comments, I may have started something here..
Jess: he's worth checking out, a fantastic, very funny and sometime rude writer, a great performer with some top tunes including a No 1 "Hit me with your rhythm stick" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Dury Sadly no longer with us.

Enjoy, he was good, although some of his songs were quite rude.

Great  Tongue in cheek  type of lyrics.....& very brave!  Most refrain from  Farts n carts  but  its writing from your feelings at a moment in time.  I once took a stroll  on a beach in Goa at 4.00  a.m &
had a conversation  with a shell!   The lyrics just came naturally  & I wrote that song.  Lol.
       

                     Humour.......I love it!                             Stylus

YES I KNOW THIS SONG. Exciting!

[PeeJay]

I'm liking this as it's a bit different to what's normally posted on boards. It's certainly got the laddish quality!

First album i ever bought was 'New Boots And Panties' Although i didn't have a love affair with Nina in the back of my Cortina!

Nice one.

[Kayles86]

Awesome neil it reminds me a tiny bit of the manic street preachers (early 90s) stuff

[GTB]

Hi Neil C, yep, definitely an Ian Drury feel to this, bless him.  I don't know if I dare post my first song, if I can find it.
Jess, here's how clever and what a brilliant lyricist Ian Drury was (Clever Trevor)
