Where’s Me Jumper?!


The Sultans Of Ping


My, brother, knows, Karl Marx

He met him eating mushrooms in the peoples park

He said 'What do you think about my manifesto?

'I like a manifesto, put it to the test-o.'


Took it straight down to meet the anarchist's party

I met a groovy guy, he was arty farty

He said 'I know a little latin man a cus man a kai'

I said 'I don't know what it means' he said 'neither do I'


Eat natural foods, bathe twice daily

Fill your nostrils up with gravy

Don't drink tea and don't drink coffee

Cover your chin in yorkshire toffee


Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumber

Wait a minute, where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper


Dancing at the disco, bumper to bumber

Wait a minute, where's me jumper?

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

Oh no


Dancing at the disco, go, go, go

Dancing at the disco, oh no, oh no, oh no

Dancing at the disco, go, go, go

Dancing at the disco, oh no, oh no


It's alright to say things can only get better

You haven't lost your brand new sweater

I know I had it on when I had my tea

And I'm sure I had it on in the lavatory


Oh no

Dancing in the disco, go, go, go

Dancing in the disco, oh no, oh no

Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumper

Wait a minute, where's me jumper?

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper


It's alright to say things can only get better

You haven't lost your brand new sweater

Pure new wool, and perfect stitches

Not the type of jumper that makes you itches


Oh no

Dancing in the disco, go, go, go

Dancing in the disco, oh no, oh no

And my mother, will be so, so angry

And my brother, will be so, so angry

And my girlfriend, will be so, so angry

And my dog, will be so, so angry

Cos I was dancing at the disco, bumper to bumper

Wait a minute, where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

Where's me jumper

 Oh no!

Geoff says : the new compilation album from The Bullfight ‘The Storm Behind Our Smiles' features a whole disc of live recordings of favourites. This is a particularly good cut.

IT’S CHRISTMAS! All I want for Christmas is a Gibson Flying V - VINNY PECULIAR!

 From my ‘cousin’ Geoff!


'All I Want for Christmas is a Gibson Flying V' is a time travelled Vinny Peculiar Christmas song set in the hallowed era of the guitar hero; a 1970s teenage lament celebrating the rock n roll allure of Gibsons most iconic guitar seen through the dreams of a starstruck schoolboy musician.

John Frusciante - Song To The Siren / This Mortal Coil / Sinead O’Connor versions

 After playing the Tim Bickley original of The Song To The Siren the other day really in response to my love of the 'This Mortal Coil' version I had contact from my dear ‘cousin’ Geoff who asked me if I had heard this version . . . . . I had but it gave me cause to send him the breathtaking TMC version sung by 



such fun!


These are for Geoff Swapp . . . . . . . 

THIS MORTAL COIL
Robin Guthrie on guitar and the astonishing vocals of Elisabeth Fraser (from Cocteau Twins)  first released on a single then included on This Mortal Coil's debut album, It'll End In Tears:

Also . . . . not to forget our beloved Sinead O’Connor (we miss her . . . .)



(I will give Robert Plant’s perfectly acceptable go at it but the unforgivable and execrable version must be the dreadful Bryan Ferry cover . . . . . . truly awful as he plainly cannot really sing so you need to some sizeable ego to think you can pull it off. 
He CAN’T!)
