Ian Dury - Poo-poo in the prawn

Tekst :

I took a sudden notion
To go down to the ocean
I d got my sun-tan lotion
My flippers and my mask

In proper distribution
Of fully-formed ablutions
Formed an ocean of pollution
In which I daredn t bask

Some turds were teeny-tiny
And some were big and shiny
But they all fucked up the briney
In which I dipped my toe

If you go swimming in the shite-us
You ll get worse than dermititis
From the sea of grey detritus
Where the sewage ebbs and flows

There s no respite
From the cess-pit
No shelter from the pong
The poor old ocean
Is full of motions
Where the hell did we go wrong?

Like a lamb off to the slaughter
Pored myself a glass of water
I failed to spot I d caught a
Little creature in my cup

I was well and truly bolleaux-ed
From the fires of hell that followed
T’was the cup of life I d swallowed
And it almost did me up

Something coming
Through the plumbing
That should not be there at all
The glass is brimming
And things are swimming
And quite frankly, I m appalled

I was a very hungry fella
I defrosted my paella
Came down with Salmonella
Three weeks intensive care

They failed to send technicians in
To check the air-conditioning
Which was unfortunately transmissioning
A case of Legionnaires

There s a malaise
In the mayonnaise
There s a poo-poo in the prawn
Where we missed them
In the system
Little germs are being born
There s no respite
From the cess-pit
There s no shelter from the pong
Where the hell did we go wrong?

    Les chansons ne servent r rien

    Les chansons ne servent à rien
    C est que des mots et du vent
    Elles ne vont jamais très loin
    Ni ne durent jamais longtemps

    Tu es tout, t es tout pour moi
    Je n ai rien d autre à dire que ca

    The spy in the cab

    Hidden in the dashboard
    The unseen mechanized eye
    Under surveillance
    The road is full of cats eyes
    It s sick function to pry
    The spy in the cab.

    Coldly observing Callously reserving
    A drivers time
    Automated autonomy
    Playing on his...

    Maybe it’s time to change your route

    Cuando estas conmigo

    Cuando estas conmigo se llena mi corazon
    tiene sentido la vida y el mundo es una ilusion

    Cuando estas conmigo la noche tiene color
    y un beso es suficiente para entender el amor

    Y al abrazarte y sentir que me amas salen las estrellas
    aun si es de dia y todos esos dias llenos de...

    Stray bullets

    I sit the magazine together with other bullets
    And do you really think. My fate is fucked up?
    I stifle in the dark chamber. I m cramped like in an asshole
    I will feel like a loser, until they fire me out!

    I am a stray bullet, what do...
