i wanted it to be something special so here are the lyrics to the best song ever.....sing it in the chipper this weekend while your drunk and every one will join in....good old mandy !!!!

Crying on the breeze
the pain is callI remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
you made me so happy, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
I need you today, oh Mandy

I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Yesterday's a dream I face the morninging, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

I last heard that just off the plane in a car driving from Knock. My missus was going hysterical shouting: 'I can't believe they're still playing this **** twenty years after I left!'

I think it was Today FM. Except the DJ (if you can call him that) had the voice of the boring priest of that Christmas special of Father Ted:

'Today FM. Today's Sounds for today's people. We've got Dr. Dre - is there a doctor in the house? - coming up with his latest release: 'F*ck you, you motherf*ckin n*gger bitch who' you.' But before that we've got a request from the Westport Massive. Big up for Brendan Shine's 'do you want you olde lobby washed down sunshine.' '

What about that eejit who looked like Harvey Keitel after a week with TF, and his JCB Band. The backing singers were a bus pass carrying old pearly queen and a Tina Turner lookalike, both in leapardskin jumpsuits. I saw him in The Bell in ScoobyDooville (Hendon) back in 87 or 88. Me and Conchita never laughed so much in our lives.

seamus moore the jcb man, legend...but the cluf figure of richie kavanagh surpasses them all.....he is a legend in his own dungarees !!!!

**Peadar** · 27/02/2004, 9:19 AM

You know in the movie, "Boogie Nights" where Roller Girl puts on a song and strips? Well the song is something like, "I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates..." Is that English song, "I've got a brand new combine harvester" a direct take on that song?

**max power** · 27/02/2004, 9:24 AM

yes peader i believe so, this could also be said for a number of other songs through history.....i shall sit here at my desk and think of examples...its either that or do some work .

Seamus Moore. That's yer man. Did he have Dot Cotton and Tina Turner on tour with him in Ireland? The Bell was nothing better than a local. He went on to better things, playing at the top London nitespots (Galtymore, The National, Nellie's) afterwards. Don't know Kavanagh bu is Joe 'I've got a child in every county' Dolan still on the scene?

Or was that Big Tom?

Max you've got to start spelling my name right!
I've watched the movie so many times now that I've started to notice things like the music, the colour of the curtains etc. etc.

Julianne Moore is great in it.
