The Ironweed Project are recording ‘Evidently Chicken Town’ this weekend. We think it’s going to be a corker of a track. We’ll try and get a version up on the Fat Northerner site asap.
We’ve got the first couple back… I love the Kings Have Long Arms version of Don’t Wanna Be Nice, Ironweed’s version of Evidently Chickentown. Keep ’em coming!
-Ruth, Fat Northerner
If you keep pears in the fridge they’ll keep hard forever
I tried it with my penis once it was a strange endeavour
The light goes off so its tricky when you have nearly closed the door to judge if anything happens or if you just need it to thaw.
I tried it with a vacuum once to get some sucking action
But just like rocker Mick Jagger said ‘I couldn’t get no satisfaction’
I tried it with a sheep one day but as I went to pump her
I got myself a kick in the balls from the sexy woolly jumper
I think I’ll keep it to the norm and put it where I should, but ive got my eye on a hamster , I wonder if I could?.
A cat and a canary sat for tea
Said canary to the cat please don’t eat me
They had earl grey and a chocolate bun
But the canary still ended up in the cats tum
written for my daughter
to balance myself after writing a piece called Denial which you can probably tell from the title is a bit stronger!.
Wicked sense of humour,tells it how it is
as hip now as ever – maybe even more
it’s the man behind the hairdo
the man who knows the score
ladies and gentleman mr john cooper clarke
drainpipe trousers adorn
then a fine pair of boots
dapper jacket worn
attire usually astute
with pleasantly understated power
you’ll not mistake this man
who dances in the shower
to get as wet as he can
his figure appears to a round of applause
reaching the mike as the the audience pause
carrier bag in hand ,full of his works
‘alright’ he grins or maybe he smirks
poetry,jokes,one liners and tales
the captains here with a wind in his sails
cutting his cloth bespoke to the crowd
even a whisper works the same as being loud
you might think I’m biased because I like his style
but it makes both my mum and little girl smile
just have to be careful which verse goes to who
the introduction should suit the person it goes to
much more to say about Johnny Clarke
but I might spoil an education of the man and his mark
so I sign off here and advise you of this
if you have a weak bladder , give light coloured trousers a miss
