Yeah man
Now
I'm getting the word
Nuts
Cha
Upset me
Nasty bitch
Catch me outside
How about that
I'm big bonded
I'm heavy structured
I'm hung low
If I pull my shit out this whole room, get dark.
Disgusting!
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel like podcasting.
With video on YouTube, on social media, at Have A Word Pod,
you're listening to the funniest podcast in the game.
Have a word. Shut down dailies. Let's get through this mess together.
Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
Tune.
You having a beer?
There was a time I used to look into my father's eyes.
What a fucking tune.
Where did that come from?
Where's that come from?
I think it was on in Asda before.
Mate, your Asda's a rave, innit?
Upon the hill across the blue lake.
Mate.
The next song they had was Scooter.
Fucking hell.
Oh, mate.
I am well in. I am well
into the lockdown locking already.
Those who are like,
well, the pod was a bit later than normal.
We have knocked it back for a couple of reasons,
completely innocuous bullshit reasons, which is fine.
But of all the days to have to knock back the record of a pod,
the lockdown locking is the most dangerous of the days
to fuck with
oh
and been drinking since
two oh shit
Billy I did a little bit of gardening
and I was like god you've done really well then
you deserve a drink before lunch
and then I fucking lost my parrot
sugar and I just say and then I fucking lost my parrot sugar
can I just say
I've just got to say this
I'm already bored of her
there's been so much about her
in the past 24 hours
the show me love remix
though was the best one
oh yeah
yeah
yeah it's uh it's it's one of those things on social media that
especially in a lockdown people will be like i'm fucking bored and when something catches
there it like you can it just it's happening faster and more intensely than normal like it'll
usually it'd be done in three
days you'd be like i'm done with this people are already like no 24 hours later i'm done
because people have got time to make gifs and memes and little like piss take videos like
everyone's got more time to fuck around with it it's all just intensified
but uh i've put it on the soundboard and it's not going anywhere it's not who the
fuck is that soundboard no no no no no no wait let's wait till you go uber scouse
i think she might be a relative i'm not convinced she's not related to you
it feels like it feels very gene pilly go on you know all
the pills got like such a strong identity of people as preston got that these all sort of
like each other and the preston look after their own or is it fucking every man for themselves
it's difficult with the times like preston isn't it because pre Preston's just a Northwest mill town.
So it's hard to be like,
ah,
really strong sense of identity,
you know,
very,
very independent from all other towns and cities.
What about Blackburn?
Well,
no,
we're very different from Blackburn,
really.
Yeah.
They're like 14 miles over there.
What about,
what about Burnley?
Oh,
completely different from Burnley,
fucking million miles away from Burnley
like
it's difficult
for towns that size
to be like
we are totally different
it's not
that much different
there's no other
Liverpool
I think that's why
Manchester and Liverpool
piss each other off
so much
because you're very
very different
but actually
there are
similarities
like you're massive
big behemoths
there's no other towns or cities and and manchester and liverpool are different enough
ironically their wealth is totally built on each other like without one the other is struggling
without all the shit to go through liverpool where would it go it went to manchester without
liverpool how would they get it on the land? Like, those two cities are tied to each other.
They fucking hate each other.
Slave cities built on slavery.
Wouldn't be successful without the slave money.
Slave money.
That's our new anthem.
That was the Beatles' first song.
Yeah, yeah, they just decided not.
Slave money.
Epstein thought, probably not i think hard
days nights fine um she loves me she loves you yeah yeah yeah slave morning yeah yeah i always
think albert dock because i that's the first place i ever gigged in liverpool was albert dock down at
rawhide yeah oh this is a basement on the dock and you're like oh it's beautiful isn't it's been regenerated in the 80s
beautiful oh what's the history of this dock fucking evil boy real fucking evil have i told
you that mine and jade's first date was at the slavery museum have i told you that no no yeah
that's when our first date was uh Because you know, bitches get horny
when they
hear the story
of human trafficking.
I'm sure I've told you this on the podcast before.
No, you've not.
It's not like I'd be like,
which slavery museum first date
story have you told? Oh no, I've not heard the Jade one.
No, you've not.
In the slavery museum as well, when you go in the foyer there's a big in the entrance
there's a foyer like an entrance foyer the foyer whatever yeah the foyer all right cool
a foyer right and in the foyer there's a donations bowl
where you can donate to the museum
and it says on the donations
bowl please give generously
our staff work for free
at the slavery museum
oh how did they get there
bus taxi hopefully not by fucking chips can I just say just because I've had a few beers Oh, how did they get there? Bus, taxi, hopefully.
Not by fucking chips.
Can I just say, just because I've had a few beers
and I feel like I know you well enough now that I can say this,
Preston is one of my least favourite places in the world.
Okay, well, the band today...
I just feel dead eggy in Preston
when the Preston Frog and Bucket
comedy club was there, that walk from
Preston train station to the Frog and Bucket
I just felt like I might get murdered at any point
it was just dead odd
and you're from Liverpool
fair enough, if someone was from like a village
in the Cotswolds, they'd be like ooh Preston's
a bit thick and edgy innit
but you're coming from Liverpool that's not exactly, you know,
Vanilla Lane, is it?
What is Vanilla Lane?
Vanilla Lane is in my pants.
Right, so you walked from one side of Preston to the town centre-wise.
You walked from the railway station down Fishergate into town.
And the first two-thirds of that walk is basically our main shopping street.
Not particularly eggy.
Then there's the middle of town where all the bars are.
And then that last sort of quarter of a mile is down into fucking Rapeyville.
It's the worst.
The Frog and Bucket, if you've never heard of these names, right?
Let me tell you about the club and then Preston. The Frog and Bucket, if you've never heard of these names, right? Let me tell you about the club and then Preston.
The Frog and Bucket is a comedy club
that started in Manchester.
A guy basically bought a pub
and they started comedy downstairs
and it all just basically,
it was like momentum
and it became a pub that became a comedy club.
And now it's weirdly
one of the most famous names
in circuit comedy in the UK.
Also, some of that fame is down to notoriety because
it in its time has been fucking hairy like not for me and adam but for like london comics are like oh
my god it's rather threatening but but the guy who owns it dave who's a who's i still call him
boss because he he was the guy that took me from the bar to the office,
to the stage.
He's been amazing to me.
And his,
and his daughter,
Jess is now the general manager.
They're my friends as well as my,
like,
you know,
people I work for.
A few years ago,
they bought a venue in,
in Preston.
And I used to walk past there when I went to college,
I went to the Catholic college in town.
You'd get off the bus station,
which is fucking grim as is about 40% 50 of preston town centre needs to be flattened and started again
there's some bits that quite nice a lot of it is fucking it i remember once getting the bus and i
missed the stop that we usually get so just visiting my sister me and my nephew got the bus
i looked after him sometimes in the week when my sister was working.
And we got off the bus stop after,
which is the worst way to walk into Preston Town Centre,
and it was like a Tuesday morning
where no one that's got a job is out.
All the fucking weirdos are out.
It felt like a first-person zombie shoot-em-up.
You know when you're looking around going,
if you told me this was like a Lancashire zombie game, because everywhere you look, you're looking around going if you told me this was like a like a lancashire zombie
game because everywhere you look you're just like some fucking rent and then you stopped looking at
your nephew and had a look at the other people and then i and then i looked out of the shop window
it was me guys a little bit of self-deprecation. Lovely town. Lovely spending time there.
It's fucking
special. And they bought
this venue. I used to walk past there in the morning
on the way to college, and I used to think,
fuck me, I'm never drinking in that shithole.
People have been murdered there.
Little did I know that ten years later
I would be doing comedy gigs there.
I think they bought the...
I think they bought that lease. the whole thing, the freehold,
for about, I'd guess, 28 quid.
And I think they might still own it now.
Yeah, Preston's got its nice bits,
but if you put a comedy club there,
a lot of the people that I know from comedy
think Preston is worse than it is
because of where that comedy club was. They're like, oh comedy think Preston is worse than it is because of where that
comedy club was. They're like, oh yeah, Preston's smacky murder town. And you're like, it's not
actually that bad. But if you put a comedy club just next to smacky murder town, everyone in
comedy is going to be like, I remember John Bishop asked, text me and was like, mate, I want to do
some new material. And this is when John Bishop was a household name. He drove up in his Range Rover.
He was like, where am I going to park here? I was outside on my phone I went oh look I'll jump
in I jumped into his swish like whatever Range Rover he drove out and I could see the look of
fear in his eyes as he parked his 90,000 pound car I was like yeah this is where you're playing
tonight so Preston not great I'll be honest not great I I've got a little bit of pride because
it's i know the
people there there's some good people there but i'm not one of those people that'd be like fuck
you that's my hometown i'm not i know i know i know about the gig i did in preston where
there's a little sort of art sensory place what's it called yeah they burnt that down
no one trusted it they thought it was a gay bar and then they
torched it
oh I know John Grey used to be involved with it
yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'll remember the name
but he turned up there
to do a gig right Bethany Black was on
and I think
Tony
Basnet was comparing
and that was the bill.
It was two of us doing sets and one compare.
And it was in this tiny little room.
And I went to the fella,
how many have we got booked in for tonight?
And he goes, six.
And I went, what?
This was like a Friday night.
He went, yeah, we've got six in.
And I went, six people?
How are you afforded to pay us? He goes, well funding for like from the council like an art council we just have to keep things on so
we're just doing that and i went do you always get six and he went no we usually have like eight
nine or ten you should have been in last month it was heaving, okay. And then about 10 minutes later,
we were just talking about whatever.
And Tony Barsnett went,
I'll walk past the town hall
or whatever you have in Preston on the way here.
Alan Carr's on tonight.
And he went, the guy who ran the gig
with no irony whatsoever went,
that'll be where the other people are
who normally come here.
Give me a fucking break.
Thing is, though,
I feel like duty-bound to defend Preston,
but I basically moved away as soon as I could,
and I've tried desperately not to move back,
so I'm not like a hometown boy.
Like, it's pretty...
But honestly, everyone I know from school,
no one lives there anymore.
I sort of feel for towns Preston size, about 150,000 people,
because everyone just goes, oh, can I fuck off now?
What, for university and then never come back?
Nice one, I'm off. See you later.
Hardly anyone I went to school with is still there.
Liverpool's one of them places that not only do you keep the people that live there,
you get the people from places like preston like manchester
london it's a fucker i don't want to be like slagging it off but it was just it was all right
to go up in but no it's in it and shit it can't sustain a gig it can't sustain a gig for some
fucking reason there's like good gigs all over the place like well sometimes can't do it there's sometimes when you're like this this should mate i've
gigged in stockton upon t's stockton's like fucking hell and they've got an amazing gig
it's nothing to do with the town a good gig can happen anywhere but there's some places
that for whatever reason you're like why is there no gig you're like, why is there no gig? You're like, no, I don't trust it. Like, why would I pay £10
to speak to someone else?
Fuck.
Fucking painful.
Fucking painful.
And that was the hard thing
about gigging at the Frog and Bucket
because I was from there.
I'm a hometown boy
and like,
when they were balance,
I was like,
oh,
you cunts are my balance.
When you play another town
and everyone's a dickhead,
you're like,
oh,
I don't give a shit. I'm not from here. When you play in your hometown and people are's a dickhead, you're like, oh, I don't give a shit.
I'm not from here.
When you play in your hometown and people are being fuckwits,
you're like, oh, fuck.
I better went to fucking school.
Liverpool has probably got the worst reputation,
other than Glasgow, in the UK, for non-local acts, hasn't it?
Liverpool, for a long time, had a rep as being the hardest town to play,
as a comedian.
Well, it is one of the hardest towns to play as a comedian.
That's why, Adam.
It is.
Do you reckon? Of course it is.
Yeah. Why?
Because everyone's fucking
chippy.
Do you know that
the worst thing Liverpool ever
told itself was, hey, we're very
funny in Liverpool. Got a sense of humour. You itself was, hey, we're very funny in Liverpool.
Got a sense of humour.
You're like, well, there's about 650,000 people call themselves scouts,
and I don't think every one of them's a fucking stand-up,
because I've talked to some of the cunts,
and they do not seem that fucking sharp.
It's this weird thing of like, no, no, we're very funny.
So let me tell you what I think about your comedy.
Now, a working-class dock city,
yeah, you're going to have an edge. Now, a working class dock city, yeah,
you're going to have an edge.
You've got, by the
history of Liverpool,
the Irish population,
the Scottish heritage,
the Irish heritage,
you are a dock city.
I get it.
There is an edge.
There's some fucking
sharp cats in Liverpool.
There are also some
fucking morons that
have been told,
hey, you're very
funny in Liverpool.
Yeah, I am very funny.
And when I go to comedy,
I fucking like to tell them what I think.
Jesus Christ.
At least in Preston, when you play to foot quits,
like, yeah, we're foot quits, so just keep quiet.
Look at this guy.
He can tie his shoelaces and everything.
He's amazing.
They give him a microphone, which is like magic talking wand.
In Liverpool, you're playing to 200 people, man, woman, and child going,
hey, yeah, you're all right, but I tell you who's fucking really funny.
Everyone in my family and friend group.
So better fucking tune it up, la.
That goes for a lot of the people listening to this going
yeah yeah yeah nice one but I am funny so
because I know
it's your home city but I think it's
why there's so many good Liverpool comedians
I think if you can play Liverpool
and nail it you're a good comic
See I think it's
I think with Liverpool I think you get
a minute
you get like a minute or two
and if you nail it in
that first minute or two, you'll have the best gig
you've ever had, because they're like, oh
he's dead good, it's sound
but if you get past that minute or two and you
haven't started to deliver properly
then people turn off, because they're like
this is my only night out this month
dickhead, I've paid 18 quid to get in here
you daft fucking southern cunt
Glasgow, make me laugh. Glasgow's
very similar.
Newcastle can be very, very similar.
At the Edinburgh Festival,
I think you honestly have 40 minutes.
45. I've watched some
Edinburgh shows where it's middle class people
going, we're being very supportive of the arts,
we've come to the fringe, and
yeah, we've honestly, we've taken a few
chances. We do love Robin fringe and yeah, we've honestly, we've taken a few chances.
We do love Robin Ince and we've seen a young comedian, very funny, a jokesmith.
He's on the up.
He's called Gary Delaney.
So we've taken a chance on him.
And then we went to see a show on something called the Free Fringe.
I don't know what it was.
It's really exciting.
And we didn't laugh for the first 48 but then when they did three callbacks towards the end we really go forward like that's the
polar opposite end of the spectrum liverpool i've honestly i've seen crowds turn on like the second
syllable out of someone's fucking mouth like it's so so quick you can lose people so quick same as glasgow and it's the working
class thing of like yeah i'm from a hard place mate and you'll get you're you getting paid for
this shit because i work my nuts off so you better be fucking good if you're stood on that stage and
you're taking my money essentially i remember doing baby blue in liverpool with a danny ward
who's a dead good London comer.
He went, I'm going to tell them I'm from Plymouth.
I went, why?
He went, because you know Liverpool,
they don't like Londoners, do they? I was like, mate, we don't like any Southerners. Plymouth's no better.
You daft fuck.
Also, that's
misinformation. In his head, he's like, this will get
me out of it. If you walk
on stage in liverpool
and you go i'm from preston you are from 27 miles away and everyone in liverpool goes oh he's he's
a retard so it's fine it's not it's not like everyone else is fine in liverpool there's people
that don't like each other in liverpool it's not like oh well where are you from specifically there
may be a few if you walk on in liver and go I'm from Preston like yeah nice one
where
where does
if you're gigging in Liverpool
where's going to give you
the pass
where's the
the place you most
want to be from
to get like an easy start
if you're not already
from Liverpool
yeah
erm
I reckon Newcastle.
Alright, okay.
I reckon Geordie.
I reckon there's a bit of a sort of affinity
between Geordies and Scousers.
Yeah.
He's alright.
He's a foot in Scouser.
So basically, the other city with a speech impediment.
Alright.
Yeah.
Yara,ada hey you can
hey
you're a fucking
quality you mate
oh cheers
me up
thanks very much
Luke
ah we've got
a lovely
common Luke
if we could
just fucking
make a
what the fuck
each one of us
was here Luke
and basically
if you're Irish
you can just
geek everywhere
and everyone
thinks you're the
fuck
alright then
I'm from
fucking Ireland everyone's like oh amazing isn't sexy a nice accent i'd love to be irish
if you could pick black any black american black american yeah is that what the question was of
course come on look at me well you didn't let me finish. You didn't let me start, really.
Yeah, but that's your white privilege.
You've got to pick
a nationality that is
A, not white, and B,
not English-speaking.
Where would you
like to be from?
Traditionally,
you can speak English, but it's not the
first language. Right. You've got to be careful with that. A nationality that's not white. Not the first language. Right.
You've got to be careful with that.
A nationality that's not white.
Easy, Adam.
Easy.
And what do I have to do with it?
Just live my normal life now?
Be a comedian?
No.
You can be a comedian if you want.
I just want to know where you want to be from.
I would love to be an African comedian.
Yeah, but Africa's not a country, so you need to pick a comedian if you want. I just want to know where you want to be from. I would love to be an African comedian. Yeah, but Africa's not a country,
so you need to pick a specific one.
Nigeria.
Okay.
Is that what you want me to say?
Oh, my God.
Did I tell you ever when I saw MC Africa Zulu
for the first time?
You're going to have to contextualize
what MC Africa Zulu is,
because without it,
it looks like a racial slur.
Okay, listen.
I know it's not.
Listen, it's very on point
with the conversation I haven't just
gone extreme old school
racist
you're asking me what nationality I'd like to be
and I said Nigerian and I remembered
I have seen a Nigerian comedian
this is
8 or 9 years ago doing
Beat the Frog
this guy now he's a lovely lovely man
decided he's from nigeria moved over here a few years before has seen some stand-up and thought
i really like stand-up i'm from nigeria i'm gonna give it a go at the time he was about 30
he decided to call himself and i shit you not mc africa zulu
which is a bit like me trying to do a gigs in in nigeria calling me whitey mcwhiterson
and his his first i saw maybe two or three gigs, were amazing.
And it was amazing because it was just to the point 10 years ago where young white audiences were getting aware of like
what was politically correct and what wasn't.
So at Beat the Frog on a Monday, there's a lot of students.
So they're very like, oh my goodness, that's racist and that's wrong.
And this is even more so now.
So as a white bloke, when you're playing to those audiences,
they're listening.
You're like, you're older and you're not woke and if you say something like that that means we should try
and cancel you right but they don't know what to do if someone is from an ethnic minority and
they're very aware of it but they're trying to be woke and then they something they say something
out of order and they're like oh my goodness this doesn't compute they're like a robot that starts
like fucking malfunctioning like um this isn't woke except you are from an ethnic minority mc africa zulu i saw his name on the
running order and it was a young very studenty audience that night sometimes we get actual
grown-ups they were all 1920 it was a night of the young woke he i saw his name on the list i was
like this is gonna be amazing there's like, this is going to be amazing.
There's two ways this is going to go.
One, it's going to be a guy from Africa who is mental,
and that's how it works out.
Or it's going to be the most racist guy blacking up,
doing a character, and I'm going to be on the news.
Comedians for years are going to be like,
Dan, were you there the night that guy blacked up
and did that character?
I'll be like yeah
let me tell you the
fucking story
when a guy called
Keith from Wigan
went fuck it
I'm called MC
Africa Zulu
so
we get about
six or seven
comedies in
it's a non-eventful
night
and then
MC Africa Zulu
comes on
and I
you know
there's times in
stand-up where you
naturally smile
because you're having such a
good time for all the wrong reasons sometimes i beat the frog there's 10 12 30 knacks on and you
can be a bit like fuck me it's like a factory just churning out balance that night there's this like
the same laugh and smile i've got on my face now i was like oh my god this is gonna be amazing
i sat on the edge of my seat.
I was like, I want to drink in every second of this.
I was like, ladies and gents, please welcome on stage MC Africa Zulu.
And I audibly heard less applause
as a load of little fucking snowflakes
nearly shat themselves just on the comedian's name.
He walked on and he did not let
me he went hello my name is africa zulu i'm from nigeria then he started doing stand-up i don't
he's obviously not watched loads of it he'd obviously watched a bit of stand-up and gone
right what are you doing comedy is you just take the piss out of, like, you know.
So if you watch Manchester comedy, they'll take the piss out of Scousers.
And in Liverpool, they'll take the piss out of Mancunians.
He must have seen some of that.
So he's like, oh, that's what I'll do.
But I'm not from either of those places.
I'm from Nigeria.
So he started ripping Ghanaians.
And it was the most.
It was like he'd taken the script of that mancunian
scouse banter and just changed manchester for nigeria and liverpool for ghana he was like
you're not with ghanaians i like oh they are so stupid you see a ghanaian and they're like hello
i'm from ghana i'm not joking The crowd had no idea what was going on.
Some of them were laughing
because they thought they should.
Some of them were laughing at how ridiculous it was.
And I think a couple of them were nearly in tears.
And then he kept doing that.
This didn't just,
it was like,
Hello, I'm from Ghana.
I'm so stupid.
I'm from Ghana.
And then he paused for a laugh
then he started doing observational material and i nearly fell off my fucking chair he went
you know what it is like which is a classic observation that's like michael mcintyre level
of observation he went you know what it is like i'm not joking, this is what he said. He went,
you know what it is like when you are chasing a pig?
And he paused
as if the whole crowd would go,
yeah, yeah, yeah, we do.
Yeah.
He went,
you're chasing a pig,
you're chasing it
all around the house
and you cannot catch the
pig and your wife is trying to catch the pig and your children they cannot catch the pig and then
he went he looked to the audience he went how fast are pigs and then he started building up he went
you know what it is like you know it is like you're chasing the pig and you cannot catch the pig and you know what it is like your your cousin he jumps on the pig and that was the end of the bit and the only laughter
that in the whole club was me having a fucking asthma attack because i was having it could it it was funny because of the way he asked those questions
like a group of 180
white student children
would be like,
yeah,
pigs are fast.
You're not,
it is like your cousin
and he built it up with drama
like you're not,
it is like,
and at the very end,
your cousin,
he jumps on the pig.
And I think,
I think he paused
for a round of applause
and he got bewildered.
And it was one of the best things I've ever seen in comedy.
Oh, fuck, mate.
I can't believe I've just remembered that story.
It's one of my favourite bits of stand-up ever.
In the early days of Hot Water Comedy Club,
when it was in the nightclub,
there was a lad who used to come every week on his own right and
he'd sit on the front row and he was quite a sort of um rodent-y looking lad
you know what I mean, though. Oh, God, a rat. With, like, greasy long hair.
Sorry.
Greasy long hair.
And he'd just sit on his own on the front row all the time.
His name... Lovely lad.
His name's Dave Murphy.
Dave Murphy.
And he sort of...
He got to know all the comedians,
because we were regulars.
I mean, we did the gig quite a lot.
And then...
One week, he's like, I'm thinking about giving it a go. And we were like, I mean we did the gig quite a lot and then when we said
I'm thinking about
giving it a go
and we were like
fucking yes mate
you should defo
give it a go
and he
went on
and he
absolutely
destroyed the place
he murdered
but for all the
wrong reasons
right
and the only bit
I can remember
because we still
quote this to this day
he goes,
you go in a public toilet sometimes, don't you?
And there's a urinal,
but then there's, you know,
in the men's there's cubicles as well.
And sometimes there's just a man
just having a piss with the door open.
And you're like, you know what, mate?
Shut the door.
There's gay rapists out there.
And they're going... There's gay rapists out there and they're there's gay rapists out there and you don't know
what they could be fucking anywhere mate they could be waiting for you in the toilet like i
hope one of these leaves the door open you just don't know yeah so will you just shut the fucking
door like you know i love about observational comedy it's it's when it goes wrong
it's so cringy and bad because at some point in his head he went yeah everyone must be thinking
about gay rapists and and then beyond that i also love the fact that at some point in a notebook at one point in human history he's written gay rapist question
mark like at the same time mc africa zulu wrote how fast are pigs
i love fucking love it i love it some and sony carol used to get told off a lot at Hot Water. Stand-up going badly is so fun, innit?
The longer you do it, the more you...
That's a great...
Yeah.
Me and Tony Carroll used to get told off a lot.
Tony, another comedian who stars at a similar time to me,
we used to just sit at the back of Hot Water getting drunk
and watch the brand new acts just be absolute dogshit.
But Tony's got one of those faces.
If he laughs, you can't not laugh.
He's so,
do you know what I mean?
So like if someone did a,
I'd be facing the stage
and Tony sat right next to me
and if someone did a shit joke,
I'd just hear from him,
like that.
And then I'm gone then.
Cause I'm just like,
I know he's laughing
and it's like being at a funeral.
You shouldn't be laughing
at the shit stand up.
And the amount of times
Binti had to come
and tap us on the shoulder and go, lads, it looks really bad. You know, you't be laughing at the shit stand up and the amount of times binti had to come and tap us on the shoulder and go lads it looks really bad you know you're just laughing at
people who are yeah yeah yeah but that makes that sort of makes it more fun and it like it's like
when you're at a wedding or a funeral when you're at a funeral and you've got the giggles i mean
don't get me wrong it's not like you know like your 26 year you've got the giggles, I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not like, you know, like your 26-year-old mate got knocked over.
Like, that's not, no one's like, I know you're not meant to.
I'm talking about when it's great Aunt Mildred
and you and your fucking sister are like, like that.
It's funny because you're not allowed to.
Like, if you're just allowed to take the piss,
but there's something about that,
just watching someone get it so fucking wrong oh i love it i love audience members looking at me
that's one of my favorite bits of beat the frog when you make eye contact with an audience member
who could clearly chew their own face off through cringing
they're literally trying to just fucking teleport anywhere in the world like
get me out of here get me out of here get me out of i'm like yes i feel alive
were you raised kafla i was actually raised muslim
was it yeah assalamu alaikum so when was the last time i'm on ramadan now of any sort
you see
it's weird that
because my mum
my
my nana and grandad
who raised my mum
never religious
never bothered about it
my mum came back
from school one day
and went
I'd like to go to church
and my nana and grandad
were like
alright
you can if you want
and she went with
friends of hers from school
and was a Christian through all of you want and she went with friends of hers from school and was a
christian through all of her life and uh she died at 45 and everyone else has lived quite long so
that's you know that's on jesus uh so basically my mom was a christian yeah she wasn't she found
it herself and she didn't force it on anyone else. So me and my sister, my dad, total atheists and everything.
But because she used to go to church, we went with her sometimes.
And obviously we've ended up with family friends from the church.
So randomly, in the last 20 years since she's died, occasionally I have been to the church
because I'm still friends with some of her very close friends.
Like my uncle Robert goes to that that church so i have been occasionally and i actually find it quite nice because it's
a nice church but i am a staunch atheist like a card carrying non-believer so occasionally
you mentioned laughing at a funeral i went to my granddad's funeral last year the first time i've
been to church in years and do you you know, like, you're brought
up with it, so it seems
normal to your religion.
You know, like, I went to a Catholic school
and a Catholic high school, so
going to church, obviously, but when you could go
away from it for a while, and then he's
reading, you know, like, peace be with you,
and then everyone in the room goes, and also with you.
And if you were watching
it with an objective eye,
having never been in that situation,
you think this is the most mental thing.
It's so like stereotypical shit cult.
It's brainwashing.
Brainwashing.
Fucking mental.
Me and Jade were sat next to each other like,
did you remember it being this weird?
And she was like, no, we both had like a proper shared experience of it he's and also with you praise be to the praise be
to him it was so fucking weird hi i now this is where this is where you end up in like choppy
water but because a lot of the people i know who are christians and i have faith are some of the
nicest okay are some of the nicest people i've ever met like i don't you know
like the idea of like our christians are this and that that's like the social media idea of christians
every christian i know is a fucking wonderful person but the religion and education i and
christenings and i find it when any group or cult or business gets their claws into kids,
you're like, oh, you're advertising to kids, or the influence on children.
And then you look at our education system, that's something the Americans have definitely got right.
Separation of state and church, like religion and education.
How the fuck do they go hand in hand that should be something that is completely left separate like if you're a person of faith
absolutely raise your children in your faith how the fuck are kids being made to pray i find that
borderline sinister like heads i remember at school because i went to a c of e school a gram school and it was strict uh i tried because i was i was a little dick early on i was like is
this bullshit i think this might be bullshit do you know my mom's got uh breast cancer is this
do i have to pray to a god that gave my mom breast cancer i remember trying not to pray towards the
end of my school career i was like like, I knew I was an atheist.
I'd thought about it.
And at 15, you're convinced, aren't you?
And I tried to not pray.
And the most amazing thing is not praying while 480 lads are praying.
And it's you.
I'll tell you what, the weirdest feeling.
It's like sticking your head above the parapet in World War I.
So you try and hold your nerve, because I had balls,
but I didn't have that many balls.
Everyone's got their head bowed, fully bowed, and you're trying not to.
So from literally being one of 480 knobheads,
you are the only cunt with their head up.
And I was like, I'm doing it, I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
I'm doing it.
I'm doing it.
And I turned to see Mr. McNeil, the deputy head, and he just, the fucking piercing eyes.
And he just went, without saying a word, but like mouthing it, he went, head down.
I was like, alright.
Jesus Christ.
How intense is that?
This wasn't like the 18 fucking 20s.
This was like 50, 20 years ago.
Fucking sinister.
Head down.
Pray.
Pray to God.
Right.
Believe in God or I'll fucking bollock you.
Head down.
Work the shaft.
Oh, my God.
Fucking grim.
Oh.
Have you prepared a middle section today?
Because we need to have a word from our sponsor at some point.
Yeah, yeah, let's have a word from our sponsor.
Head down, Adam.
Head down.
Jesus, you're so big.

I don't know about you,
but I'm feeling triggered. It must
be Have A Word with Adam and Dave.
Do you reckon Jesus had a big dick?
No.
Why?
Because he wouldn't have done any of that shit if he had.
No one with a big dick is going 40 days and 40 nights without pussy.
No, but like, do you reckon, like, he was magic when he was like,
his day is dead and brown.
And I reckon if he could, like, feed 5,000 people,
he can also sort of give himself some extra wang.
Right.
If he can spread the fish, he can also sort of give himself some extra wang right if he can spread the fish he can spread the dick I see
the joke right but I'm not here
for you know I'm not here for jokes
I'm here for genuinely thinking about
whether Jesus of Nazareth
had a fucking weapon
and I don't think
anyone with a dick that big
could be bothered being crucified
I think you'd just be too busy banging fucking
old Bethlehem puss puss
but you say that as if like he
chose to be crucified
yeah and he was Jewish they're not well known are they
so they would have
cut a bit of his dick off
mate if he was Jesus of Sierra Leone
so are you doubting Middle East and dick length?
Mate, if he was Jesus of fucking Somalia...
Do not Google, did Jesus have a big dick?
No, I'm going to Google average dick length in the Middle East.
What, Middle...
Yeah, alright right fair enough
but the thing is that doesn't count because they're not his people he was the jews left
the middle east average dick in israel because he's a jew jesus was a jew so the biggest dick
in the world is apparently in the congo 179 centimetres on average centimetres?
yeah
the Congolese
it's one of those weird racial stereotypes
isn't it that obviously
it is racism but it's one of those racism
like oh god
on average in the Congo
they have a 7 inch dick
god I need to check my heritage I must be from the Congo, they have a seven inch dick. God, I need to check my heritage.
I must be from the Congo or something.
Democratic Republic of Israel.
Average penis size.
What are the Israelites saying?
Four.
Five and a half.
Alright.

Would you rather?
Adam Rowland.
Richofslavemoney.com
Give up bread,
i.e. sandwiches, pizza, donuts, ETC,
or give up potatoes,
i.e. roasties, mash, crisps, chips.
Would you rather?
If you had to give up one, what would go?
The dough or the fucking stodge?
Oh.
Sugar!
Sorry, couldn't help it.
I'd rather give up my firstborn child than either of them.
All right, well, as you haven't had a firstborn child,
think of your next food, baby.
What would you rather?
I'm telling you now, I'm telling you now, I love both.
But I'll be fucked if I'm giving up pizza.
I don't think I could give up pizza.
Oh, I could give up pizza.
Oh, I just love pizza so much.
Sandwiches, toast.
Roast potatoes, chips.
No, I'm not lost by roast. Jacket potatoes, chips, jacket potatoes,
hash browns,
potato
rosties. Oh, do you like hash browns?
Yes. Oh,
they're just fat breakfast chips,
aren't they?
No, I'm giving up potatoes
because you can have bread with more stuff.
Right. Good. There was no
joy or comedy in that
that was just no it was awful that was that was literally just adam you took adam psychologically
to the edge there and we talk about he literally four minutes ago said do you think jesus had a
big dick and we reveled in that if you potentially in hypothetical, take away bread or fucking potato-based fat,
he's like, you've really...
This is awful.
You've upset me.
Nasty bitch.
Talking about your next born child,
this is from Charlie Cowell of Trans Alloys.
Word up.
Would you rather have your next born child
be born invisible
or have your next born child be blind for its first 18 years of life
there's i don't i don't know why how how when you're fucking sprucing up alloy wheels
do you think of that complicated would you rather would you rather have your child be born invisible
invisible because then i could just put clothes on it and i can still see the clothes boom
yeah bath time would be a cunt though wouldn't it
I paint the kid I paint the kid
I can still see the paint
on a summer's day
you having a nice time in the garden
yeah I am
little me and little Vincent
Vincent
I think he's in the garden
like the fucking predator
how sinister would that be having a garden. Vincent, like the fucking predator.
How sinister would that be?
Having a little version of you,
like the fucking predator,
coming out of the... Oh, God.
I'm just going to paint the kid.
Right.
Get the gloss out, paint the kid.
You can still see the paint.
What colour?
Black.
You're going to paint your child black?
Yeah.
That's not reparations.
Hey, here's a question for you oh finally
I'm drunk
if you could choose
why are you laughing
I'm drunk
I've been holding it together really well
but just when you went I've got a it together really well.
But just when you went, I've got a question for you,
and I went, finally.
In my head, that was hilarious.
Oh, gosh.
I've been really holding it together because I knew you'd not had that much to drink.
I'm fucking steaming.
Right, go on.
How fast are pigs?
If you could choose
the ethnicity
of your children
but they're definitely still yours
and they're still Laura's as well
your Laura can have
a little Chinese baby if you want
but it's still yours
what would you choose
do you want a white baby a black baby an asian baby
right or the other asian you're very race-based today what happened in the queue at asda
if you've been part of something like have you been part of a hate crime
because you're very you're very you're very race-based uh yeah scandinavian you'd have a scandinavian kid yeah why
i'd want a chinese one me chinese is the cutest babies
chinese why so you could get your accounts done oh dan come on
what what what kind of racial stereotype is that i I don't know. That Chinese people are good accountants.
I've never heard that before.
That's the weirdest racist comment I've ever heard in my life.
It did make sense, didn't it?
Oh, you know what the fucking Welsh are like?
Good with money.
What?
Oh, Argentinian. Oh money what oh argentinian oh yeah argentinian always turn up and try and
do your garden on the fucking cheap what paraguayan you killed christ hey
i'd want a chinese baby that morphed into a black teenager
and then
like an Arab man.
I don't...
I am drunk
and I don't know what to do
with that information.
This is how my drunk comedy Filofax head worked.
It went, let's just check through what we can do with that.
Adam's potentially being playfully racist.
I think he's all over the map and I'm drunk.
And even though everything we've said on the podcast
is slightly worrying for my future career,
I'm still not touching that with a barge pole.
All right, Adam.
I don't think you should play that
when you're trying to adopt.
All right.
Hey, listen.
Hey, come here.
Hey, la.
No fucking about.
Hey, Jade.
It's not even that she's infertile.
She won't fuck me.
Right.
We want a little shit.
We want a little Vincent.
We're going to call him Vincent.
I don't mind a yellow one.
I don't mind a brown one.
Whatever.
I'm just not paying full whack.
I'll rescue a child.
Like at the fucking pound.
I've got a rescue child.
I'm a good Christian.
Go on.
Have you got any more for the middle section?
Yeah.
Awkward sex story from Chris Armistead Cargan.
All right.
Name.
Hi, Adam and Dave.
Got an awkward sex story here for yous.
For yous.
Fucking.
Shut up!
And it happened not too long ago.
I was staying over at my bird's parents' house for a weekend,
staying in my girlfriend's bedroom.
Usually, I like a good sleep in on a Saturday morning.
However, given the situation of not shagging for over a week,
we got a bit frisky quite early in the morning.
Oh, morning bonk.
How are you with the morning bonk?
I'm just pausing the tape.
How are you with the morning bonk, Adam?
What's your thinking?
I don't mind it.
I prefer a nighttime one. Jade prefers the morning bonk, Adam? What's she thinking? I don't mind it. I prefer a night time one.
Jade prefers the morning though.
Does she?
Because then she can shower it off
and there's still hope in the day.
If she bangs you at night,
the last thing she thinks about is your fucking little
gorilla form.
Gorillas in the mist.
Gorilla form Gorillas in the mist
I'm a very graceful lover
Actually
No you're not
I am?
I don't think you are
I can't
No you can't be
I'll show you
I imagine you're a dreadful eater
I can't imagine you're a graceful lover
Do you know Do you know
Do you know
This is
I'm really off the rails here

You can tell a lot about the trauma
A person has been through
By how they eat food

Sorry, carry on.
I've seen Jim Jefferies, who is now a very, very famous comedian in America,
eat a fucking chicken tikka wrap near a comedy club in newcastle we nipped out for some food
this is years ago when i was starting out and he was gigging there it's one of the most frightening
things i've ever seen it was like a wrap that they'd split in half just like you'd get any
coffee shop and you just what are you going to do like you just eat it like a sandwich and he's like he's jittery anyway he's
like highly strung so he's shaking a little bit and it was like someone had said listen your mom's
being held hostage just wolf that down and then we've got to go and save her life it was like he
tried to fuck his own mouth with this chicken tikka wrap while he was shaking the shaking made
it more sinister and he's just naturally jittery
person full of caffeine and fucking regret and he smashed it into his own face and ever since then
he has been gone on to what has he got four net this is a guy who i started out just a couple
years behind he's had four nets netflix specials he's got his own show on network TV in America and I
never feel jealous of his success
because I've seen the cunt eat
I'm like, fuck
like there's some comedians I look up to
and I'm like, God, if I could only just get to where you are
and I look at him and I'm like, yeah, but
you eat like a fucking murderer
What do you eat like?
You all prim and proper
no not at all but I don't think
anyone would see me consume
a meal and think that's a hate crime
now see I'm a big fan of the morning
bonk apart from
the breath thing apart
from no one's kissing
on a morning bonk are they
just go and brush your teeth first
well no but that you know the whole rolling over
and just being next to a beautiful woman
and she's there and she just smells the musk
of the night
the musk of the night smells like you've got
up in the middle of the night and gone for a
dog shit pussy
it's a bit like
it's the closest you'll ever get to having
sex with a oh that does something for me
darling come to me in bed please don't waft the sheets i have farted several times in the night
i mean to have you madam i really i think it's the closest i'll ever get to having sex with a
prostitute because they know you know laura's like, don't kiss me. I'm like, yeah.
I woke up once, Jade had gone to work and put Matt the monkey in the bed
and I tried to fuck Matt the monkey.
It's not funny.
It's just frightening what you said.
It's not funny.
Look at me.

uh he likes a lion on a saturday morning not seen her for a week they haven't chugged in a week
young horny horny it's about 7, 7.30.
Beth, his girlfriend,
his parents, her parents, Beth's parents,
had failed to tell them that the Skyman was due to come in and set the sky up in all the bedrooms in the house
first thing that Saturday morning.
Having turned up a bit early,
my partner's dad decided to come up and wake us up to get us out of the room because the Skyman had arrived.
They're banging without knocking.
Oh, dad, what are you doing?
What are you doing, Beth's dad?
Without knocking, he burst into the room to see us banging.
He caught me balls deep in his daughter.
Her immediate reaction was quite naturally
to cover herself up.
So she pulled the entire duvet over herself,
which left me completely stark, bollock naked,
leaving me lying on my back, fully erect.
Her dad completely in the room, room frozen staring at both of us but mainly my naked dick
and balls for about and he he reiterates his 30 long ass seconds 30 seconds is a long fucking time
in that situation man the thing is though if you're completely naked and erect and
you've just been banging some guy's daughter and they're stood there it could have been five seconds
but that's gonna feel like half a semester in it essentially apparently the dad made a kind of
whelping noise and eventually beth screamed, Dad! Get out!
With all of this going down,
the Skyman still needed to come into the room.
To top off the awkwardness,
me and Beth had to sit in the living room with her mum and dad
until the Skyman had finished doing what he was doing.
You've been called shagging a bed.
You've got a daughter as well now.
That could happen to you one day.
That'd be horrible, that, wouldn't it?
No, I think I'm too savvy for that shit.
She's banging.
She's banging.
I hope she's gay.
I do.
I hope she's gay.
Why?
It will make me seem so progressive.
Actually, my daughter's actually gay. I would love that. I hope she's gay. Why? It will make me seem so progressive. Actually, my daughter's actually gay.
I would love that.
I would love that.
Oh, and this is my daughter's partner.
Rihanna, or whatever.
The Rihanna in your head as well, isn't it?
No, not the Rihanna.
Well, that'd be nice.
A little bit of money.
But yeah, I hope she is.
Because I know what dirty little lads are like
like little fucking
fanny ferrets aren't they
I've been writing a new bit of stand up about this
about someone saying they hope their child's gay
and me talking about how selfish that is
have you genuinely written this bit
yeah
no you can't do it because you're going to be doing it
no no no I'm not doing that.
But yeah, about how much harder it is for gay people.
So it's very selfish for you to just want to be uber woke
and be like, no, no, I'd actually like it.
You wouldn't because you'd be going to the school every five minutes
when someone's thrown fucking apples at him and called him a faggot.
Okay.
Gay kids get bullied, don't they? i'm not saying it's a good thing i'm not saying i'm advocating for it it's horrible but it happens so it would be better for you and your child
if they don't have to go through that wow that is the least woke thing you've ever said i don't think you can comprehend how sexuality will not register
for etta's generation by the time she's at school hang on what year is it now 2020
she's gonna be she's gonna be working her sexuality out in like 2030 2032 mate i think
that kind of abuse will be archaic to them i honestly think the shit you are a fucking
lunatic if you think kids are just going to stop bullying each other bullying is always going to
be there she's not going to school in west derby is she
do you think chester's going to be better I'm just telling you I'm just telling you man
I think you're seeing that through the prism of your school
I think that's how you're seeing it
I don't think
Are you sending us to private school?
I'm just saying
I mean Chester schools are essentially private schools
I'm just saying
I'm just saying I don't think you're seeing that
How kids interact
I just don't think I because you're an old white guy.
You're very naive, Daniel.
That's what you are, mate.
You're a naive person, and I don't like it.
It's not a good look on you, this naivety, mate.
You need to fucking drop it.
Oh, really?
You just shouted faggot on a podcast,
and I need to drop the naivety?
No, in context, I used
the...
Mate, the fucking
album.
No, no, you need
to drop this naivety. It's not a good look.
Anyway, back to my bit.
I'm not calling anyone that weird. I'm saying
gay people will get called that weird by
dickhead bullies in school.
All right, cool.

Let's crack on with this nonsense it's time for have a word
with your friends all your family just tell us how they've been a cunt and we will try to make things better
hey
that wasn't bad was it that was really good
actually well done
got a little short one
little shorty first of all
can I say I need to I want to stop away with all
the fucking wasps and insects they keep coming into
me
that's not that's not the
that's not the one that's been written in
but what
insects are doing
my fucking tits in me
they're driving me dog mad, me dog's running all over
the house trying to chase flies and every time
I'm playing FIFA I'm just about to score
and I get a little vzzz in my
ear and it fucking puts me off and it's doing
me nothing. it is a beautiful
little fuck you from god or whoever created this like absolute madness of that is life
and like you know the winter is absolutely brutal it's cold it's dark and you're like pissed off
and you're dying for summer and then it's beautiful it's warm and you're out in the
garden and then all of a sudden there's loads of little fucking sky there me like
like trying to sting you bite bite you, fly around you,
eat your food.
Beautiful irony.
So, yeah, wasps and insects
need to fuck off, but here's the actual submissions.
Highlids, have a word with people
who think this shutdown is just an
excuse to be fat and lazy.
If anything, you've got more time than
ever now, so you've got no
excuse for not working out you should be coming out of this lockdown in a much better physical
and mental state than the one you entered it that's from liam via twitter i told liam i totally
agree before uh adam jumps in i totally agree personally i'm nine or ten pounds heavier i'm drinking five times a week instead of one time
every two months and i'm a fucking big fat jiggly disgrace but your point stands
how are you adam how's your health kit going um i've actually started today i am I didn't eat for the first two hours after I got up
and then I went to Chippy
Yeah but you jogged there didn't you
No no no right
No hey I am on a fucking
I'm doing upper body today
because I got fucking chips and gravy
but I got two orders
one bag in each hand and I was fucking
lifting them all the way.
That's up her fucking body, lad.
Shut up!
I think Liam
needs to have a word with himself, because
shut the fuck up.
We're all getting fat, mate.
We're all getting fat. We're getting fatter.
We're getting unhealthier. We're getting
more anxious, more depressed,
and we're coming out of this thing
in a much fucking worse way than we were
in. We're all going to be fat, depressed, anxious
people. We're going to be a globe
of fat depressed. We're going to be a globe
of Americans. That's what we're becoming.
We're becoming fat, anxious people
like most of...
So sorry, Jilly Bean. Go on.
Excluding our fans over there.
Excluding anyone who listens to this podcast in the states
who by the way we love yeah you can't be telling people like they should be doing whatever just
let people do whatever the fuck they want now but that extends to if you wanna go keto shred
do weights go jogging go mental if how you get through this is by discipline and
dieting and cutting down and like, right, I'm going to come out of this in this shape. If that
is what gets you to the end of the game, then you do that. But don't judge anyone who gets through,
as long as you're not hurting other people or letting down the people in your house or in your life, right?
Get through this.
Now, I haven't been drinking loads at all in the last sort of six months, a year, whatever.
I am now boozing like a little fat booze hound because that's making me, A, a normal husband, dad, brother-in-law, and podcaster.
And that's essentially my whole existence at the moment.
That's fine that's
my little lane as long as i'm doing as soon as i get drunk to the point where i can't do this
podcast and i'm letting you down or i'm letting laura down by not being a good dad then it's a
problem like if i'm having fucking heart rhythm problems because i'm eating drinking too much
turbo shandy then i've got a ton of it but conversely if i need to get fit healthy and it's
like the people who get dressed up on a saturday night for no reason in a lockdown if that makes
them feel good then let them do it but don't be a cunt because what works for you isn't what works
for your neighbor or whatever just fucking let people run in their lane. And thank you to our new alcoholic anonymous there.
That's Daniel.
Round of applause for Daniel, ladies and gentlemen.
Cheers, everyone.
Turbo Shandy's are going through.
Liam, fucking leg of cud.
If you want to get fit in that, go for it.
But I'm getting fat as fuck, lad.
That's what's happening.
I'm actually going to go for a bike ride in a bit, probably.
I'm not.
But I'm going to go.
That was a very busy fucking conversation you just had with yourself.
Fuck you, Liam.
I am actually getting fit, but I'm not.
I'm going for a bike ride, but I won't.
But I've been touched, but I've touched myself.
Oh, yes.
Is that a pod?
Is it? It feels today's being a bit a pod? Is it?
It feels...
Today's been a bit scattered, hasn't it?
No.
Can I tell you what's happened, Adam?
You've had a very stressful day.
And I think this one's for you.
You've done very fucking well to turn up and do a job there.
Because I'm not... I've said this before on the pod a couple
of times me and adam now are starting to know each other very well and we have a lot of to and fro on
whatsapp to make this happen what we're very good at is going right dan you do that and i'll do this
so adam does the have a words and i do the middle section and and then but and i and we try very
hard not to be like mate
what the fuck and there's always natural points of like oh you can can we do this or can we do that
and today i got a vibe from you i could just feel the undertone of stress because we were already
like should we start at five and you were like me can we knock this back a little later i was like
oh my god adam's having a nightmare i think you've done fucking terrific today deal with the fact that i've genuinely been pissed for four hours
i mean the the absolute diatribe about my hometown that i was i was drunkenly desperately
trying to defend the fact that i'm from a pretty boring town in the Northwest and make it interesting while defending it. And you still humored me.
You've done great,
man.
I think you deserve not a bike ride or what?
Do a bike ride if you want,
but just go and have a Saturday night,
mate.
I'll get this out on the internet.
Um,
everyone that listens,
and I know you've been listening hard.
If you're up to this point,
you've listened to a lot of this bullshit.
We massively appreciate you.
It's full on for everyone, whether you want to get fit whether you want to drink or eat fucking
dominoes or the chippy or listen to this podcast every fucking day whatever gets you through we
appreciate you guys we do and we have as always got a little bit of a tune to play us out. Today's band is called the Rivet City

Housed by the molten stress cartoons
Joyless pair with years in the brig
Tension in the air, a collection of sticks
Burn down your fingers, burn down your field
Burn it all down, you got a thing not feel
Time is rising, you're older now son
Train with targets, not always with a gun
This body's empty, shoot for your life
We're all empty
Just shoot for your life
Talk to you legs inside the rooms Housed by the motown stress cartoons
Jealous pair with the ears in the brick Tension in the air a collection of sticks
Burnt on your fingers, burnt on your fields
Got an old time, you got a thing, no feel
Time is rising, you're holding our son
Train with targets, not always with a gun
This body's empty, shoot for your life
For a fucking empty, shoot for your life
So the day began
I'm not a rebel, I'm a partisan Homeless nights on mountain bikes
Ivy's girls and blokes
Yeah they're out of ink, out of hope
Trying to do a service, just collect statements
Of all the relevant qualifications
They're plastic coppers, bits of fun
If only he could pull that gun
Can't catch you when you try to run
Cause you're under arrest when the real cops come
Clocking off, they sag and sigh
They got teenage kids, vasectomised
Tells the wife to dry those eyes
Kids inhale insecticides
It's just a phase, hormonal jumps
They haven't talked to us in months
House feels like the western front
Cellmate table conversation
Calls to shrink for observations
Yeah he takes the call, far too late
Said the nah, to steal her fate
Said he takes the call, far too late
Said the nah, to steal her fate
Said he takes the call, far too late
Said the nah, to steal her fate Far too late, sad enough, you're still a fate I wanna pray to a real God
