lyrics

Me and me missus went to, the Jessop Wing in Sheffield
Signed-up for a course of IVF, but we found it was a minefield
They first produced a fountain pen and we signed a pile of paper
But I hadn’t got a chuffing clue what they had in store for me there
They took us to a tiny room and said they needed samples
Two vials of blood from her right arm, but from ME they took an armful
Three nurses had to hold me down, they ruffled up me tanktop
And they left me with an empty arm, a cuppa and a Hob Nob!

Muttering “Ooh you’ve buggered me arm”
We only came for embryos
Not for pain and a tale of woe
I’ve no strength to lift me fire hose

They gave me a small plastic jar, and then they took the biscuit
And sent me to another room, with very little in it
A drawer with sticky magazines – the TV muted silent
And a DVD in black & white, titled ‘Shaving Ryan’s Privates’.

No way would I be sitting, in the wipe-clean leather armchair
Lord only knows, how many blokes, had shot their pistols sat there
So there I stood, with task in hand, struggling with me software
Tried shooting straight in the tiny jar, but it was a chuffing nightmare

Juggling a lad-mag and me jar
I’m whackin’ on me-laddio
It’s hard to act like Romeo
Getting frisky in a jar-o

I had bragged about a bucketful but I struggled with a thimble
Now I’m not ambidextrous and it’s clear that I’m not nimble
And where were all the nurses, their help would have been super
But here I am on the NHS, Christ I should’ve gone with BUPA

Struggling just to fill up me jar
Not the best scenario
I’ve got cramp but no ‘get up and go’
Getting frisky in the jar-o

Now it hurts when I play me guitar
Like a limp lothario
I can’t come or get me cock to crow
Not so frisky in the jar-o

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!
