'Sabbath are taking WAY too much coke, this is going to get messy'. Which it did.
Yeah but what a mess! Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener is off the scale brilliant isn't it?
Yea, I suspect if you could list every track you've ever listened to on 'number of plays - highest to lowest', wheels of confusion would probably be top for me. Volume 4 would probably do the same for the album list...
They went too far though, if they'd kept to Volume 4 levels of wastedness they might not have produced this:

Kick out the jams, m*****ers !
Yeah! I, I, I, I, I'm gonna
I'm gonna kick 'em out ! Yeah !Oi you get your own suggestions.
Indeed, you really should (mother*er)...
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people's heads a roll
Never more appropriate than since Trump came to power. He makes the person I assume was the original subject of the ditty seem quite tame...

For the impact:
Straight outta Compton, crazy mother****er named Ice Cube
I guess I should of known
By the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
I like bouncing boing boing boing
Up and down until I get a pain in me groin
"Is she really going out with him?"
Well the opening line is "Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street" - which is pretty good.
How about "Arseholes, bastards, *ing *s and pricks" - Ian Dury, Plaistow Patricia (EDIT - just spotted it had previously been mentioned).
or
"I love a good bum on a woman it makes my day" - Jake Thackray, On Again, On Again.
Ooh, another one
"Many well dressed people in several locations are kissing quite a bit".
Well the opening line is "Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street"
*Shakes head*
Need to read up on your punk grandad.
Ah, there's still a generation gap then?

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
Would you put on that long white gown
And burn like there's no more tomorrows?
Hello don't you know me
I'm the dirt beneath your feet
Ah, The Wind cries Mary. Sublime.

I am angry, I am ill and I'm ugly as sin,
My irritabilty keeps me alive and kicking
OK another Jake Thackray one:
Breasts and thighs that hypnotise me,
Galvanise me, so agonisingly,
But such a size that, not surprisingly,
She can hardly move at all.
Pretty inappropriate given recent events but I always liked;
This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
Well the opening line is "Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street"
*Shakes head*Need to read up on your punk grandad.
Punk? He may be slow but the old codger is right!
When I was a young boy My mama said to me
"There's only one girl in the world for you And she probably lives in Tahiti."
Punk? He may be slow but the old codger is right!
He was once almost nibbled to death by an Okapi.
That kind of thing leaves scars.
Then there's the scabies.....
Strolling along minding my own business
Well there goes a girl and a half
She's got me going up and down
Somewhere, there's a country you remember from your youth
Imagine there's no heaven , it's easy if you try.
No hell below us , above us only sky
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
She had a dream and boy was it a good one
So she chased after her dream with much desire
But when she get too close
To her expectations
Well the dream burned up
Like paper in fire
Sup up yer beer and collect your fags
Right. This is starting to annoy me. And you won't like me when I'm annoyed...
The line [b]"Is she really going out with him?"[/b] was the spoken introduction to the Shangri La's "leader of the pack" which was a hit in the mid-60s. Not a bad record, but not one to make ISRGOWH a killer first line.
The Damned's "New Rose" regarded by many as the first British punk release (in 1977? 1976? I ain't googling as I'll lose this post) also used this line as its spoken introduction. And suddenly it sounds superb.
The Joe Johnson track has it as the first line of the chorus. Meh.
All of which raises the question: is a spoken line of introduction a first line of the song? I think, given rap is included, it has to be. In which case sound effects of "chop chop chop" and a shout of "careful with that axe Eugine" might be up there. If sound effects are allowed.
The Joe Johnson track has it as the first line of the chorus. Meh
Well f we're being pedantic...
Its Joe Jackson.
Fair point but i'd say it was fair game its very much a set up to unleashing the rest of the song.
Nice girls, not one with a defect
Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct
Red dogs under illegal x
She looks so good that he gets down and begs
A million housewives every day
Pick up a can of beans and say:
“What an amazing example of synchronisation”
When I need you
You’re only ever twenty-eight away
With a tailwind
I’m on Shimano Ultegra now, ain’t you heard?
Every day, I get up and pray to Jah
And he decreases the number of clocks by exactly one
Everybody's comin' home for lunch these days
Last night there were skinheads on my lawn
I’m a hard jackin’ sound scaping Jump-uppin’ left-of-centre
Freakbeat affair who refuses to Worship at the altar of Detroit...
I'm a-running doen the road
tryin' to loosen my load
I got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna hold me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Standin' at the door of the Pink Flamingo cryin' in the rain,
The eyes in her head are angled in a way
She can look down her nose at people like me
Look out, Mama, there's a white boat comin' up the river
There’s one last favour I ask of you
There’s one last favour I ask of you
There’s one last favour I ask of you
See that my bike’s kept clean
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour,
But Heaven knows I'm miserable now.
Hello, good evening, welcome, to nothing much
God told me to skin you alive!
God told me to skin you alive!
Love a DK song, that lyric does bring a smile to my face 🙂
Good evening I'm from Essex
In case you couldn't tell
My given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay
And I'm doing very well
I think the word is - evocative:
"The distant echo of far away voices boarding far away trains,
To take them home to the ones that they love and who love them forever"
