There's a new Half Man Half Biscuit album out today, always a cause of celebration. The lead track Alehouse Futsal appeared online a few weeks ago. It's business as usual lyrically, that is, moments of laugh out loud genius punctuated with insight and references to popular culture and history...
'Your softly spoken friends
Their fortnight in the Fens
Your time slip stories I avow
Are boring the arse off me now
I’m gonna put up a wall in your through lounge
My animosity knows no bounds
I’m gonna give you alehouse futsal'
And this part from the middle eight...
'Picnics with craft beer
Elbow in Delamere
Your brand new 10K PB
Haile Gebrselassie'
No One Cares About Your Creative Hub So Get Your Fucking Hedge Cut is out today, available from Probe Plus. I am especially looking forward to the songs Man Of Constant Sorrow (With A Garage In Constant Use) and Knobheads On Quiz Shows.
Blimey, they haven't changed!
ReplyDeleteLove the pic by the way.
great to hear these guys still saying it good and proper. Mark E's dead, the Sleafords give it a go, but who writes the lyrics anymore? the kids are all square today.
