Why "F--- Forever" By Babyshambles Will Make The Duke Blind - Page 4

It's not wank like Yes is wank, no, it's a wank like The Buzzcocks are a wank. Adolescent, a cluster of filth and hope and beautiful determination, pushing up gainst the very flesh, reaching out the chest like in Freddy 1 when he leans down over the bed for a second, stretching out the walls.

"Fuck forever, if you don't mind."

Divinely vulgar, and yet oddly mannerly about it all.

God almighty, an album's worth a this and my legs'll bust from the inside out, knee flying every which way, sinew and tissue hanging from the light-fixtures, and bitter Daman Albarn, that bitterness stinging like a fresh fag-burn on the tip a the sex, but it's ok, cheer up, sing along, no sense building rivalries when a man's got such a life-affirming tune in the eardrum-holes.

Can I bother you for a dance? Just I dig the way you were nodding along just now, it's my favorite song at the minute, and earlier I saw you were weeping along with Connor when he was busy going on about "I believe that lovers should be chained together...", and yeah, that was my favorite song last week, and truth be told I think that even though I'm sober and you're reeling in vodka, chances are we're both as deliciously fucked as each other, so yeah, what say we just tie the DJ up someplace where he can still enjoy the vibes, what say we just hit repeat and maybe we'll pass out sometime before the dawn, I'm not sure, I haven't figured that out yet.

"Fuck forever, if you don't mind
Oh, I'm so clever, but I'm not very wise.
"

Thanks folks

The Duke resides at Mondo Irlando

    you guys are idiots... taking someone's lyrics that obviously weren't written he was in a condition/state quite different to ours at the moment, and just analyzing them completely literally. you've got to be kidding me. you guys don't have a clue, maybe you should take those textbooks out of your arses and think of something smart to say instead.

    Person, much appreciated, but i dunno where you got this analyzing idea from. this wasn't a review or anything of the sort, it was about tryin to grab hold a the emotion stirred by the piece in question. i didn't say a damn thing about the lyrics, i said "what does it mean? who knows?" etc, as in, for the purposes of jiving along at the time, it didn't matter to me. an i gotta say, textbooks up the arse make for fun times, given the right subject (i was blind for two weeks followin a stint wi a economics number)

    "The Duke", you are a grade A idiot... before you write a huge essay to slag off a song and arist you know nothing about, at least get the lyrics right before you quote them. For example, your closing quote... WRONG!

    He says:
    "Oh, I'm so clever, but clever ain't wise".

    Purgatory and happy families eh? That's very interesting since he says
    "Pregatory and oh, happy families"

    You loser! I suppose your idea of a good song is the friggin' cheeky girls is it? Next time, write about something you know!

    Paul, i'm not sure how to appraoch that cause i can only assume it's a joke. because to assume i was slagging anything off here, the person reading would have to be fuckin blind.
    Seriously, are you mad?? HOW and WHERE did i slag this off? the fuckin title alone implies that it makes me cum! god in heaven, man, what kinda voodoo you been on?
    thank you

    Yo, Paul Harris - Hey man, watch out for yourself. That kind of unwarrented hostility and anger tends to cause all sortsa health problems.

    Question is, did you find the piece funny, or not?

    As entertainment, I dug it. For something to get torqued off over, there are lots of posts in the poliics collumn more worthy of your mindless rage.

    Cheers!

    Bennett, what baffles me is how Paul got the impression i don't adore the song with every fuckin ounce of my being?? seriously, the only thing i can think of is the bit that says;

    "Can you believe I didn't like it the first few times I heard it? Can you possibly for a second understand that The Duke chanced upon Zane Lowe preaching Gabba & Punk out the speakers one evening, just in time for the premier of the new single from Babyshambles, "gonna be huge!" Zane assured me, who was I to argue? "

    that's the only thing here that's anything less than soaked in ecstasy at the thought of the track in question. Paul gets kudos for obviously bein a Believer, an all power man, but seriously, i think you need to re-read what's goin on here.

    maybe i'll change it to "I Fucking ADORE Babyshambles, Case There's Any Confusion"
