Kev is right about the lists, I make them all the time, if not physically then mentally. I am drawn to lists often skirting over the rest of a written word to the list. Lists are good. H Allen Smith said “The human animal differs from the lesser primates in his passion for lists.” H Allen knew his stuff.
Yesterday I gave you the 54 songs I felt were the best ever written, they were at least to me in 2001. Today in 2009 the songs that would still make it into a top 50 are below, with songs that I believe are the best ever written padding the list out. Sadly Mo-ho-bish-opi didn’t make the cut.

Is that The Snake the one about the woman that takes one home? If so, it's the daftest song after The Baron Knights!
ReplyDeleteBollocks towl it's a metaphor, basically if you mess with things that you think may bite you, they are going to bite you, no matter how you treat them. Besides its a great northern soul tune.
ReplyDeleteIt's a metaphor? It's a metaphor for not taking dangerous or exotic animals home that might bite you.
