Benefit of hindsight, but when they rocked down to Electric Avenue they didn't really take it higher.

I refer Sir Macca Thumbsaloft to the fact checking office also.
As if we'd take the word of a pot-smoking Scouser on the issue.
That large automobile is outside the first pub you started drinking at. The bartender has the keys.
Let them know it’s Christmas time
They already do, there is a large following of Christianity in Africa.
There won’t be snow in Africa this Christmas time…
Kilimanjaro has a snow capped peak, year round.
Where no rain or rivers flow
The Nile?
London has many jails. Might need significant manpower to cover them all
It might have Gaols of old or Prisons but I am fairly sure there aren't any jail's.

Isn't it glaciers?

Splendid forum fodder for a Friday afternoon
@tomhoward you know those aren't polar bears so that doesn't prove anything!
1. I bet he can stand it if he just cools off a bit and chills.
2. He doesn't know she planned it, he's jumping to some big conclusions here.
I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night, soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
And did you ever think
That we could be so close like brothers?
The future's in the air, I can feel it everywhere
i'm blowing with the wind of change
Wind's changed direction unfortunately
Billericay Dickie - We've only got his word for it that he's not an effing thicky.
We also can't be sure that a seasoned-up hyena, could not have been more obscener than Nina
The sentiment is laudable, but, statistically, you probably are going to take it.
Slowly walking down the hall,
Faster than a cannonball
I imagine Mr Gallagher is describing the observed reality of a person walking down a hall whilst under the influence of a psychotropic drug, vs the internal perception of the individual in question.
Although it appears that actually he doesn't have a clue.
There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover
Balderdash. No bluebirds in europe 🙂
"All you need is Love"
And food / water / shelter etc.
We're on the march wi' Allys army
We're going to the Argentine
But we'll really shake them up when we win the world cup
'cos Scotland are the greatest football team
I think the only answer to that is Aye right
No bluebirds in europe
Coniston Water was the last place in the UK to see a bluebird.
"And that's a good line to take it to the bridge."
I've heard better. 😆
But it only takes one tree to make a thousand matches
Only takes one match to burn a thousand treesThey are either very large matches or a very, very small tree.
To be fair, I don't recall them suggesting a requirement to use the entire tree.
I get up when I want, except on Wednesday’s when i get rudely awakened by the dustmen.
Bin day’s Friday, everyone knows that.
Similarly, he doesn't stipulate how he gets awakened. Maybe Thursday night is the night the dustmen all go out on the lash, then they wake him with their rowdy singing on the way home during the small hours.

Geography is not my strong point, but I believe it doesn't actually rise like Olympus above the Serengeti either. Isn't it bloody miles away?
"Its coming home"
Nope, not in my lifetime for the MENS team.
Thankfully the Womens team did bring it home.
I've never met a nice South African.
No bin that, it's true.

Tits.
But we don't get boobies here.
😀
Oh great - Mr Literal is here getting all picky 😉

That still wouldn't rudely awaken him on Wednesday unless their session last 6 days. Which clearly it wouldn't because they have to work on Fridays.
In the same vein, when Katie Melua sings about there being 9 million bicycles in Beijing.....clearly bollocks, the chances of there being an exact round number like 9 million are so small you can clearly see it's a lie. I'd have a lot more chance of liking the song if she sang of there being about 9 million bicycles, give or take a few tens of thousands either side, and still getting it to rhyme and scan.
when Katie Melua sings about there being 9 million bicycles in Beijing…..clearly bollocks,
Unless she claimed that was the total amount of bicycles in Beijing then it is not bollocks, as long as there are at least 9 million bicycles.
Although to be fair it does sound like bollocks.
Edit: No, I've just fact checked and apparently there were 9 million bicycles in Beijing. Plus a few more;

Simon Singh got all angsty about the second verse in Katie Melua's song
We are 12 billion light-years from
the edge,
That's a guess,
No one can ever say it's true,
But I know that I will always be
with you
and suggested the following would be more accurate:
We are 13.7 billion light-years from
the edge of the observable universe,
That's a good estimate with
well-defined error bars,
Scientists say it's true, but
acknowledge that it may be refined,
And with the available information, I predict that I will always be
with you
Last time I looked, guys dressed as union jacks don't generally fly into apartments on the 99th floor.

Ah bollocks, I meant Tuesday!
Is that some sort of Muphry's Law variant?
so if I asked you how many players were in a string quartet, you'd accept three as a valid answer?
If Springsteen had sung "Born to rip fans off with over inflated ticket prices while pretending to be a working class hero", that would have stood up rather better to fact checking than his blabbering on about "last chance power drives" whatever they are.
Not as catchy mind you.
The thing is Alanis; your song is mostly irony free The only ironic thing about that song is it's called 'Ironic' and it's written by someone who clearly doesn't know what irony is.
That's actually quite ironic.
No bluebirds in europe
Are African bluebirds migratory?
I listen to a lot of Clutch so don’t even know where to start! Glad they’re not popular. I did make Crab Cakes using Hot Bottom Feeder as a recipe and they were fantastic, so that checks out.

I can't think of anything in the lyrics of Born To Run that suggests that you have to be working class to be BtR. Yes, the use of 'tramps' conflicts with the idea of needing a meaty engine to Run but I'd guess that tramp doesn't mean what we use it for in the UK. And the 'mansions of glory' bit suggests people of money. Even Jacob Rees Mogg may be Born To Run.
I have not needed or indeed wanted a Shady Lane.
Thunder doesn't only happen when it's raining.
“The sun ain’t gonna shine any more, the moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky”.
Well, allow me to retort, mr Walker.

You need a better supplier then

Didnt a bodybuilding forum get all in a tizz over this?
I can’t think of anything in the lyrics of Born To Run that suggests that you have to be working class to be BtR.
I was going to say that Roger Bannister was posh, so I fact checked myself and whilst he did go to a public school his parents were both originally working class, so... Dunno.
Then I was going to say Seb Coe was posh but he went to a secondary modern.
