Dr John Cooper Clarke.

Aye he's alright , could of fancied having a spliff with him back in the day . Think he would have got told to shut his neck from time to time but c'est la vie

He'd have verbally cut you to shreds on his way to the floor and all the way in the ambulance.

I was going to try with a poem called Fuck of I'm eating me fish but that''s as far as it got

Shall we hop on a train to Darlo
Or gan for a beer through Bish
We could gan for a scrap in The Dandy Cart
"Fuck off, I'm eating me fish"

Shall we hop on a train to Darlo
Or gan for a beer through Bish
We could gan for a scrap in The Dandy Cart
"Fuck off, I'm eating me fish"

Good effort
Here’s another food related couplet from the man himself

The kitchen has been ransacked
Ski trails in the hall
A chicken has been dhansaked
And thrown against the wall

Closed down pubs and
Empty bingo
Shops to let and
Gibberish lingo
Better than Crook
Bigger than the Kyos
Full of natives still
Astonished by biros
Bishoptown.

Always liked a bit of LKJ.

 

[Vinyl Score]

I could barely believe it when that turned up on the Sopranos. The original f'in version would have been even better though.

...
Bigger than the Kyos
Full of natives still
Astonished by biros
EVIDENTLY Bishoptown.

I saw a flying saucer it was over Roker Pier

With flashing lights and lasers, guns and rockets, all the gear

It hovered for a moment like a giant flying pie

If pies had lights and lasers, guns and rockets and could fly



I’d sat down with a can of fizzy pop and cheesy chips

The last thing on my mind was flying pies and rocket ships

But there it was beside the lighthouse, hanging in the air

A beam of light from underneath with me caught in the glare



I saw a flying saucer and it took me for a ride

To some weird and distant planet or it could have been Teesside

We had a conversation, though I never saw them speak

There was no anal probing but I’m going back next week

Salome Maloney is good.
I am reading his book, I Wanna Be Yours.
Given his issues I can imagine he would be hard work, can understand why also.

 

[freyasda]

Last track on AM by the artic monkeys, I just want to be yours
He wrote it they sang it if you love someone it will strike accord
It gives me goosebumps for one woman only

 

[THELORDRODWELL]

Thinks he's funnier than he is.

The mag op, Crob?

aye

There was a young poster called CRob
Comes across as a bit of a knob
Thats as far as I got
The mods should ban him or shot

Was always quite trendy during the punk years to say you liked him..’oh aye the punk poet he’s class’..fkn shite.

Beasley st was legendary social commentary .
I still quote the odd line of his ...to increasingly blank looks I must say .

Absolute lyrical masterpiece .

 

[Clean Bristow]

Like him me..

 

[Skandhaless]

Absolute lyrical masterpiece .

Some terrific observational stuff in it . Some of its a bit obscure " a dead canary on a swivel chair " , " crocodile skis " . I'd love to know the references

He was a deadly exponent of the martial art
