Ramones - Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)

 

 

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with you

Where is Santa? At his sleigh?

Tell me why is it always this way?

Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby?

Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas

All the children are tucked in their beds

Sugar-plum fairies dancing in their heads

Snowball fighting, it's so exciting baby

I love you and you love me

And that's the way it's got to be

I loved you from the start

'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's hearts

Where is Santa? At his sleigh?

Tell me why is it always this way?

Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby?

Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas

All the children are tucked in their beds

Sugar-plum fairies dancing in their heads

Snowball fighting, it's so exciting baby

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you and you love me

And that's the way it's got to be

I loved you from the start

'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's hearts

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with you

2013 - A brief reflection on some of my live highlights

It’s that time of year when we reflect on the previous 12 months and what fun we had. 

In no particular order here are some of my gig highlights from 2013. 

The Stranglers / The Godfathers – Birmingham Academy – March. 
Proving the old guard still have it this was an amazing double header.  The Godfathers still got the passion for it and some great new tunes.  The Stranglers were spectacular, a career spanning set, an eager crowd, still one of the best bands around. 

Stiff Little Fingers / The Men They Couldn’t Hang / Eddie Tenpole – Bilston Robin – April. 
The queue to get in shows the demand that Stiff still have.  Crowd pleasing set from Eddie, TMTCH were great and Stiff blew the roof off with a mix of hits and classics from their back catalogue, even throwing in a cover of Staring At Rudeboys as a encore. 

Ruts DC – Rebellion Festival – August. 
By the end of 2013 I’d seen the Ruts DC four times in 16 months but this was probably my pick of the bunch.  Playing at the end of a brilliant Saturday at Rebellion in the slightly more intimate Bizarre Bazaar stage they delivered a great set of new and older Ruts DC material but it’s hearing those old Ruts songs once again that gets the hairs on the back of the neck standing on end.  Truly Brilliant!. 

Pete Bentham & The Dinner Ladies / Angry Itch – Adam & Eve – June. 
Well this turned out to be a stormer of a night.  I’ve seen Pete & The Dinner Ladies quite a few times in recent years, usually at the Rebellion Festival but I always seem to enjoy them more in smaller more intimate venues (like most bands I guess) and this was a storming performance.  Making the night even more special was the discovery of one of the support bands, Angry Itch.  They just blew me away.  The Birmingham punks are only recently formed  so the fact they deliver their catchy fast tunes so tightly only adds to the summation that these guys are something special and worth watching in 2014! 

Beans on Toast – The Rainbow Pub – October.   
I love the intimacy of this venue so when Beans on Toast joins the crowd to perform half his set you know it’s going to be something special.  Brilliant, funny, though provoking and some great in-between song banter made this one of the best gigs of the year.  And support Gorgeous George weren’t bad either. 

Shellac – The Rainbow – November. 
Playing in one of the larger Rainbow venues round the back this gig was nothing less than superb.  One of the tightest bands you will ever see, all members are just so tuned in with each other the impact of each song is magnified.  The attention to detail in the songs is outstanding and the in-between song Q  & A sessions add another dimension to the night and show the band in a totally different light. 

The Damned / Ruts DC – Wulfrun Hall – December. 
The Ruts DC were on form again but the night belonged to the Damned.  Atmospheric stage props and a more varied set taking in most periods of the band added with some great playing and a great sound meant this tuned out to be a bit of a corker. 

Toy Dolls / TV Smith – Birmingham Academy – November. 
It’s easy to gloss over TV Smith and assume he’s just another ageing punk rockers treading water but there is much more than just those old Adverts classics.  A quite brilliant acoustic set showcasing the best of his solo material too, possibly the best performance of his that I have ever seen, not bad for the support.  The Toys Dolls are often passed off as a one hit wonder novelty band.  Sure there is a lot of humour in their songs but that belies their musicianship and the songs are catchy as hell.   

Birmingham Punx Picnic – Wagon & Horses – September. 
I only managed the Sunday but this was a great day out.  Ten band for a fiver.  With Eastfield kicking off proceedings and Hardskin finishing off, it was a great atmosphere and will be well worth visiting the Punx Picnic 2014. 

Punk Rock Chaos 2 - Wagon & Horses – September.  Hosted by Angry Itch another great night of Punk rock all for a fiver.  Angry Itch were brilliant again (and I got a song dedication!) and local heroes Rotunda rounded off proceedings – as the night ran behind a little things ended in a bit of a blurrr but another great night of Birmingham Punk Rock

The Undertones / The Nightingales - Slade Rooms - May
Apprehensive about seeing the Undertones as Feargal has such a distinctive voice but any doubts were immediately cast away with a greatest hits and more set, such a great back catalogue of tunes.  And the Nightingales were brilliant!

Louise Distras - Rebellion - August
What a year it's been for Louise, globe trotting the world (well some of it) spreading her political and catchy acoustic punk rock message.  Great set at Rebellion playing the highlights of her then soon to be released debut, Dreams From The Factory Floor.  Cannot wait to catch her in 2014.

In fact cannot wait to catch a whole bunch of live music in 2014.

THE DAMNED - THERE AIN'T NO SANITY CLAUSE

 

The Damned - There Ain't No Sanity Clause

 

 

Rabies got the scabies now he's down on all fours

Hasn't helped his drumming, changing hands for paws

Afraid he's quarantined, means no more foreign tours

Ah ha, there ain't no sanity clause

Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause

Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause

Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause

Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause

Vanian had a visit from a guy named Drac

Says he's from the blood bank wants his ten pints back

Singer's rather sickly, when it rains it pours

Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause

Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause

Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause

Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause

Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause

Did you expect that I would believe

The tale you told last Christmas Eve

About the man

That man is fat and round

Delivers gifts without a sound

Here comes uncle Nick

Let's give him some stick

Here comes uncle Nick

Let's give him some stick

Captain's out of order 'cause he thinks he's Jaws

Biting lady punters on the Norfolk Broads

Paul plays the bass he's just debased that's all

Oh no, there ain't no sanity clause

There ain't no sanity clause

DROPKICK MURPHYS - THE SEASONS UPON US

 

Dropkick Murphys - The Season's Upon Us

 

The season's upon us, it's that time of year
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung

There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho
True loves finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe
Some families are messed up while others are fine
If you think yours is crazy, well you should see mine

My sisters are wackjobs, I wish I had none
Their husbands are losers and so are their sons
My nephew's a horrible wise little twit
He once gave me a nice gift wrapped box full of shit

He likes to pelt carolers with icy snowballs
I'd like to take him out back and deck more than the halls
With family like this I would have to confess
I'd be better off lonely, distraught and depressed

[Chorus:]
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
They call this Christmas where I'm from

My mom likes to cook push our buttons and prod
My brother just brought home another big broad
The eyes rollin' whispers come love from the kitchen
I'd come home more often if they'd only quit bitchin'

Dad on the other hand's a selfish old sod
Drinks whiskey alone with my miserable dog
Who won't run or fetch sure he couldn't care less
He defiled my teddy bear and left me the mess

[Chorus:]
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
They call this Christmas where I'm from

The table's set, we raise a toast
The father, son, and the Holy Ghost
I'm so glad this day only comes once a year
You can keep your opinions, your presents, your happy new year
They call this Christmas where I'm from
They call this Christmas where I'm from

THE GREEDIES - A MERRY JINGLE

 

The Greedies - A Merry Jingle

 

THEATRE OF HATE - ORIGINAL SIN

 

Theatre of Hate - Original Sin

 

 

Since you came in my life

I've had to re-arrange my whole reality

Not sexuality, something cleaned

A pure mentality...mentality...mentality

The Original Sin

Acid tears on your make-up

All illusion is gone

Impaled upon your mask

All delusion is shown...is shown...is shown

The Original Sin

THE EJECTED - HAVE YOU GOT 10p?

 

The Ejected - Have You Got 10p? 

 

 

See you down the social getting your dole

You're a real scrounger, you're a real arsehole

See you in the city down the Marquee

Going up to people, now you're coming up to me

"Have you got 10p?" "Have you got 10p?"

"Have you got 10p?" "No, not me!"

Blond spikey hair, bondage strides

You got no class. You ain't got no pride.

See you in the city standing with a mate.

10p a person. It's the going rate.

PURPLE HEARTS - FRUSTRATION

 

 

 

Purple Hearts - Frustration

 

I'm going round and round in circles
just a thinking of this mess
my mind goes into spirals
I don't know I'll have to guess

I get frustration!
I wear it like a suit
but the jacket fits too tightly
and there's lead inside my boots

well I think I'm going down again
I never seem to go up
I always lose what I could gain
I spill it from the cup

I get frustration !
I wear it like a suit
but the jacket fits too tightly
and there's lead inside my boots

(inside my boot - I'm in the street and i can hardly move)

frustration fru-fru-fru-fru its pouring down on the m-me
frustration fru-fru-fru-fru oh baby can't you see

I get frustration !
I wear it like a suit
but the jacket fits too tightly
and there's lead inside my boots

I g-g-g-get frustration!
I wear it like a suit
but the jacket fits too tightly
and there's lead inside my boots

 

SONIC YOUTH -DIRTY BOOTS

 

Sonic Youth - Dirty Boots

 

 

Here we go to another candle I know

All the girls there playin' on a jelly roll

Time to take a ride - time to take it in a midnite eye

And if you wanna go - get on below

Pinking out the day - dreaming out the crazy way

Finger on the love - it's all above

Everywhere it's six-sex-six by luck

A satellite wish will make it just enough

You'll be making out with a witch in a coffee truck

Time to rock the road - and tell the story of the jelly rollin'

Dirty boots are on - hi di ho

Pinking out the black - dreaming in a crack

Satan got her tongue - now it's undone

I got some dirty boots - yeah dirty boots

I got some dirty boots - baby

Dirty boots

Thee Spivs - T.V. Screen

 

 

I don't want to sit

In the hole that you sit

In the hole in the ground

In the hole that you dig

And the darkness in your eyes

Oh it cover's your eyes

And the tears that drip

Are from deep down inside

Oh punch me once and punch me again

Gonna knock out my eyes from the back of my head

TV's, DVD's what are you watching?

What are you watching on the television screen?

On the television screen

 

And I don't want to end up as fat as the cat

Climb out the window and then I get trapped

Dropped my key's down the drain

Wear a pair of flip flops

Stick a knife in my brain

And there it will stay

kick around a bottle and fill it up to drink

Throw it out the window and it bounces back and hit's me

One pop, two pop, three pop, four

Their go my brain cell's I think I'll buy some more

 

On the television screen

THE LONG RYDERS - LOOKING FOR LEWIS AND CLARK

 

The Long Ryders - Looking For Lewis and Clark

 

I thought I saw some diplomat hawking secret plans in the park

I thought I saw my President walking through Harlem late after dark

In a world of love where they burn like Nero

You write them a check and you then add zero

In a world of love where they burn like Nero

You write them a check and you then add zero

Looking For Lewis And Clark

 

I was standing alone in Mabuhay Gardens (looking for Lewis and Clark!)

I was thinking about the late Tim Hardin

Well, when Tim get to heaven hope he told Gram

About the Long Ryders and just who I am

Yeah, no one gave Tim reason to believe

So he just packed his bags to leave

 

Looking for Lewis and Clark

Looking for Lewis and Clark

Looking for Lewis and Clark

 

I thought I saw my government running away with my heart

I thought I heard Mubute anthems in Johannesburg after dark

You can find them in the yellow pages, baby

That's where you get your kickbacks from the Navy

Looking for Lewis and Clark

Looking for Lewis and Clark

Looking for Lewis and Clark

TINGLE IN THE NETHERLANDS - 365

 

Tingle in The Netherlands - 365

 

Toothy tunnels bite into the traffic
Birds survive on seed that stores the sun
Baubles yawn adornment from the attic
Refuseniks hibernate and shun the fun.

Consign modish winter to the dustbin
Skirts the florrid bulbous drinkers’ hue
Gypsy moth’s a silkworm in a tailspin
Green fashionista’s thinly skinned anew.

Imbibe languid pomegranate sunscapes
Tequila orange juice smears on the page
Wizened wiser fruit mature from free grapes
The final act the sepia flames of age

Twizzling toffee apple solar systems
Cowebbed Ebenezer greys your soul
Happy bop Halloweens red headrush with them
‘Top of the Pops’ is making me feel old.

WHIPPING BOY - WE DON'T NEED NOBODY ELSE

 

Whipping Boy - We Don't Need Nobody Else

 

In the morning I am a recluse, lost in memories
Ideal situations and convulsions
I'm never in and I can't remember
They built portholes for Bono, so he could gaze
Out across the bay and sing about mountains
Maybe. You are what you own in this land
You can be King and it all depends on the view and what you can see
And around here nobody tells me what to do anymore

We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else

Why say words that I do not mean
They only serve to amuse, ridicule and destroy,
Hardly ever to teach
I hit you for the first time today
I didn't mean it
It just happened
You wouldn't let me go to the phone,
You wanted to make love and I did not
Now I know the distance between us
Christ we weren't even fighting, I was just annoyed
Silence and you started to cry, that really hurt
You said, yeah and you thought you knew me

We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
Just you and me

Consider this as the wine takes hold
And sinks into your veins
I try to force it but it's not there
Love gives you comfort
And comfort makes you dim
She's in the kitchen
Putting beads in her hair

It all came out tonight
The queen of drugs broke down and cried
'Cause she'd been shagging her best friends guy
She knew the form, she knew the lie
She wasn't shy and she refused to try
That's why I'm gazing out of portholes
And I'm wondering why

We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me

TV SMITH - THE LION AND THE LAMB

TV Smith - The Lion and The Lamb

I see you sparkle in the mud
Like a little diamond in the rough
Ready for the cut, ready for the cut
And you could either way
Potentially twoBoth sides battling for a place

Stand and say
I am the lion and the lamb
I am part of the plan
I am the lion and the lamb

And your glamour fades so quick
Soars up like a rocket
Down like a stick, down like a stick
Well, be strong when they want it
Be weak when they want it
If you Want to fit

Stand and say
I am the lion and the lamb
I am part of the plan
I am the lion and the lamb

Now you sparkle in the mud
Diamond in the rough
Ready for the cut
Some stay dull
Some stay blunt
But you will shine

And say
I am the lion and the lamb
I am part of the plan
I am the lion and the lamb.

SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES - FIREWORKS

 

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Fireworks

 

 

The body is wrapped in shadow
The face is built of cinders
And panic tears thro' your silhouette
As you're squeezed by burning fingers

 And he crackling in our colours
With teeth of gelignite

When he sighs his song and pirouettes
Thro' a dance of dynamite

 

We are fireworks - slowly, glowing
Bold and bright
We are fireworks - burning shapes
Into the night

 

His fuel is our frustration
And dreams begin to ache
And all the while we wear a party smile

And happily we shiver
And happily we shake
Oh shake, shake, shake

 

We are fireworks - slowly, glowing
Bold and bright
We are fireworks - burning shapes
Into the night

 

Twist and turn - burn, burn, burn
Twist and turn - burn, baby, burn

I wish I knew how

It would feel to be free

I wish I could break

All the chains holding me

I wish I could say

All the things that I should to say

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole round world to hear

I wish I could share

All the love that's in my heart

Remove all the bars

That keep us apart

I wish you could know

What it means to be me

Then you'd see and agree

Everyone should be free

I wish I could give

All I'm longin' to give

I wish I could live

Like I'm longin' to live

I wish I could do

All the things that I can do

Though I'm way overdue

I'd be starting anew.

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky

How sweet it would be

If I found out I could fly

I'd soar to the sun

And look down at the sea

And I sing 'cause I know

Star Anna -Power of My Love

 

Oh break it, burn it, drag it all around
Twist it, turn it, you can't tear it down
Cos' every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

Crush it, kick it, you can never win
I know baby you can't lick it
I'll make you give in
Every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

Baby I want you, you'll never get away
My love will haunt you yes haunt you night and day
Punch it, pound it, what good does it do
There's just no stoppin' the way I feel for you
Cos' every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

Yeh, yeh, baby I want you, you'll never get away
My love will haunt you yes haunt you night and day
Touch it, pound it, what good does it do
There's just no stoppin' the way I feel for you
Cos' every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

I said every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

Every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love
