An absolutely classic band in their day, with some classic lyrics. Anyone else remember them?

i think carlos saw em friday

 

time flies by when youre the driver of a train

The Trumpton Riots:

 

Unemployments rising

In the Chigley end of town.

And it's speading like pneumonia;

Doesn't look like going down.

There's trouble at the fire station;

Someone's had the sack.

And the lads have organised a scheme

To get rid of Captain Black.

 

Tell PC McGarry

To get himself a mate.

And arm themselves with C.S.Gas

They're gonna be out late.

We've had Kant conformism since 1966.

And now subversions in the air

In the shape of flying bricks!

 

Chorus:

Someone get a message through

To Captain Snort

That they better start assembling

The boys from the fort.

Keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,

'Cause there's gonna be riot

Down in Trumpton Tonight.

 

All this aristocracy

Has really got to stop.

We'll overthrow the surgery

And kidnap Doctor Mop

And Chigley Militant Socialists

Will storm the market square

And make plans to assasinate

Our autocratic mayor!

 

Windy Militant rages past

With Corn grinders to war

With windmill sails and bombs with nails

They smash the town hall door.

But Snorty and the boys arrive

With one big erstwhile crew

Whereupon they bring about

A military coup.

 

Chorus x 2

Trumpton riots, Dukla Prague away kits, etc

 

Weren't they Tranmere fans?

 

For that reason, iamout!

Saw them on at the Academy on Friday night, still going as strong as ever. Not many old classics played though, only Trumpton Riots.

 

Many modern days ones though, 24 Hour Garage People, Bob Wilson Anchorman etc.

 

There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millett's.

classic

i think carlos saw em friday

 

time flies by when youre the driver of a train

 

Steaming out of Trumpton with a cargo of cocaine

fuckin ell

 

it's fred titmus

fuckin ell

 

it's fred titmus

 

quality tune, also like all i want for christmas is a duckla prague away kit

Ohh Dracula lives in Transylvania

Stevie Nicks books about Kleptomania

Johnny looked out of his bedroom window

and shouted to his mum...

 

Fucking 'ell, it's Fred Titmuss!

I

Hate

Nerys

Hughes

99% of gargoyles look like bob todd

 

joy division oven gloves

One Foot in the Gravy .

Can't remember what year, but I think Big Frank was manager of Trashmere.

My Uncle Charlie is a cynical man

and his wife's a touch sceptical too

He's got one of those stickers in the back of his van

it says we've seen the prices at the zoo
