without clarke could the manchester scene of the late eighties of happened, i doubt it. A genuinly talented wickedly clever lyracist going right against the grain of the time.

Everythings so bloody dear, A bloody bob, for bloody beer, And is it good? - no bloody fear, In bloody Orkney. The bloody flicks are bloody old, The bloody seats are bloody cold, You cant get in for bloody gold In bloody Orkney. The bloody dances make you smile, The bloody band is bloody vile, It only cramps your bloody style, In bloody Orkney.
By: vaughnofthedead. on 28 Oct 08, 13:14:50
Bloody Orkney This bloody towns a bloody cuss No bloody trains, no bloody bus, And no one cares for bloody us In bloody Orkney. The bloody roads are bloody bad, The bloody folks are bloody mad, Theyd make the brightest bloody sad, In bloody Orkney. All bloody clouds, and bloody rains, No bloody kerbs, no bloody drains, The Councils got no bloody brains, In bloody Orkney.

I'd love to see an upload of Majorca- the live version.JCC is the best.
By: MrWithacee. on 05 Sep 08, 10:53:49
Thanks for that reference to "In Bloody Orkney" though i don't agree that its a rip off at all. Orkney is bemoaning the dull rural town where nothing happens "roll in the mob! we bloody cry" as if there is a grander life beyond "the bloody sea and bloody sky" Chicken Town uses the same structure but spits venom at the big city that Orkney seems to pine for. Its intentionally ironic. Thanks for that its given me a new appreciation of it :)

i don't really care i was just sharing what i thought it meant
By: ronknee100. on 04 Sep 08, 00:51:55
He copied most of it from "in bloody orkney"! Look up the text "in bloody orkney" on the web. JCC just ripped it off. WAKE UP! ARE YOU STILL THER?
By: ronknee100. on 04 Sep 08, 00:46:43
Open yor eyes to the ripoff, you chunts....John Cooper Clarke ripped off other not-so-well-known-by-the masses poets and altered the text to make it his own. NOT the genius punk poet as many thought him to be...
By: ronknee100. on 04 Sep 08, 00:28:59
I always thought that this was a cheap ripoff of the poem entitled "In bloody Orkney" by George Mackay Brown Look the text up on the web....
