Took a few moments to walk the baby in a stroller today, in between raindrops. Put on the iPod, which was set on shuffle as usual. It starts up with an old favorite, XTC's Respectable Street. But this was some odd version, and I wonder where I got it...
"Now they talk about ?absorbtion?, in cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters..."
Oh yes. Suburbanites discussing paper towels, or perhaps feminine hygiene products, 'tis the scourge of Britain.
"Now she's talking 'bout diseases, and which ?proposition? pleases best her old man...."
Ok. The real lyric is 'sex position.' Maybe not OK with the BBC.
"Sunday Church and they look fetching, Saturday night saw him ?stretching? over our fence..."
So.... no drunken wretching. Yoga! Your obnoxious neighbor does yoga over property lines!
All part of decency's jigsaw, I suppose - indeed!
Fiddling around my playlist, it looks like this version is from the greatest hits compilation Upsy Daisy Assortment. Cleanliness wipes a lot of the fun from it. Do yourself a favor and make sure you listen to the Black Sea version.
