And I’m numb from chews, got those twelfth century shoes. Don’t want Dave to call, don’t want his bristle down a tube, Trying to find some hum, and maybe crackers and some Brie And I’m numb from booze, got that health centre flooze. I’m not made of bone, so don’t be prepping in that hay, Cut me garden gnome, cos you don’t fear a wooden sleigh. Aint got nothing to chew, got those 20th century brews. Actually singer Alan would probably end up singing something like that anyway. One time we got 'You got me flappin like a fish on a pole' in 'C'mon Let The good Times Roll. The verses appear in any order, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 "The strange thing about that song [20th Century Blues] is that it's actually a cover of an old Noel Coward tune, but for some reason the way the lyrics are delivered makes some people think it's about a Wazzock from Nepal, or even stranger things." - Robin Trower. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I've cheekily re-named it '2020 Blues' and bashed out some suitably bleak lyrics. I wonder if singer Alan will approve... 2020 Blues It came all the way, from China to your door No matter what you say, it’ll knock you to the floor Nothing left to lose, got those 2020 blues. You might fear the worst, if you’re old or if you’re sick If your bubbles burst, this flu won’t miss a trick Nothing left to lose, got those 2020 blues. With old freedoms lost, will things ever be the same Or will we count the cost, and forever change the game. Nothing left to lose, got those 2020... I've just read the news, got those 2020... Im just so confused, I've got those 2020 blues. Edited December 30, 2020 by Paul S Polish 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they copy across obvious errors I've come to expect that, sadly. I was looking for the lyrics to a couple of Ellen Foley songs a while back and every site I tried had the same howlers ("'cause that's a cruel mental start" instead of "'cause like the moon and the stars") for We Belong To The Night and only the first line of Night Out's second verse. Which also had a mistake in it. I eventually found the correct lyrics in a Jim Steinman archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Some lyrics sites get it right though, as exemplified by these lyrics to Siberian Khatru: I'll take you down Deep down to the frontline (Deep down) You woke up this morning Got yourself a gun Your mama always said you'd be the chosen one She said, you're one in a million You got to burn to shine But you were born under a bad sign With a blue moon in your eyes When you woke up this morning All that love had gone Your papa never told you About right and wrong But you're, but you're looking good, baby I believe that you're feeling fine, shame about it Born under a bad sign With a blue moon in your eyes So sing it now Woke up this morning (You got a blue moon) Got a blue moon in your eyes (So sad) (Goddamn, a goddamn shame about it) Woke up this morning (You got a blue moon) Got a blue moon in your eyes You woke up this morning The world turned upside down Lord… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
