Is it too late to substitute Hal David for Bacharach as this is supposed to be about lyrics and Bacharach only wrote the music.

Not really, the choice was made.

Dury fans may want to check out his son Baxter - his recent output is pretty decent.

He makes a mean soup too.

I think given the way the voting has gone it wouldn't achievr too much in 40 minutes!

Like Brexit, I didnot give a good account, I have sacked the PR team and move onto the Gibb Brothers

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Oh and another

Reasons to be cheerful part 3
1 2 3

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats

18-wheeler Scammels, Domenecker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it - yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40 - no electric shocks

The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty - curing smallpox

Reasons to be cheerful part 3

Health service glasses
Gigolos and brasses
Round or skinny bottoms
Take your mum to Paris
Lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris

Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico
Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
Balabalabala and Volare
Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, Sing Along With Smokey
Coming out of chokey
John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
Bonar Colleano

Reasons to be cheerful part 3 etc

I saw the Blockheads perform this, and Wee Willie Harris joined them mid-song for one of his own songs!

Yeah I saw them perform this here in Barna and in London too.Not with Wee Willie Harris though,who used to play here a bit back in the day.

Hardly surprising as BB never wrote any lyrics.
