totnes bickering fair radio 6 music session half man half biscuit Chords

Oh yeah.
You still well?
Yeah, yeah, we've not caught that bloody virus.
That's great, you can't even go to hospital now can you?
No.
It'll just turn you away.
Apparently not, yeah, you've got [Gb] to see a doctor anyway haven't you?
You wouldn't go to hospital with a stomach bug would you?
Staying in bed for 48 hours?
Yeah, I'd do that anyway probably.
Right, we've had Cindy on, right, from Lansing in Michigan.
She says, Hi Rob, please can you say hi to Half Man Half Biscuit for me please?
Bear with me here.
They know who I am, my name is Cindy Gomez and I'm from Lansing, Michigan,
which you've just said.
I used to go and see them in Liverpool as early as 1985.
It was during the height of their fame back in the DHSS.
Can you tell them to tell David Lloyd, the old keyboard player that I said hello,
tell them [D] to get over the plane flight, we presume plane fright, and come tour the USA,
especially Detroit, thanks, and tell Nigel I said hello too, tell Neil Crossley thanks for the lyrics
to the album back in the DHSS, which I still have, and still missing the last sheet which stayed on David's couch.
Aww.
Does that mean anything to you?
Not at all.
_ Yeah, it does, I know [Eb] who she is, yeah.
Do you?
Alright, [G] fine.
Hello Mark, it says, can you say hello to Half Man Half Biscuit and say thank you to them for the great show at Blackpool,
and cheers for the autographs from Trevor in Dublin?
Oh yeah, yeah.
Alright, please say hi to_
Trevor in Dublin.
Trevor in Dublin?
Trevor, yeah.
[E] Please say hi to Blackie, that's Nigel, I was a good friend of his as a teenager,
and wondered does his mum still hide the biscuits in the ottoman?
Tell him, er, da da da,
I still love him loads, from Linda Roberts?
Oh, she probably does actually, er, hide the, erm,
biscuits in the ottoman, I imagine, yeah.
Right.
Just a busy way, not there.
Well, is it just because you were gluttonous kids?
Yeah, all three of us used to go, er, raiding, you know,
after, well, you get the weekly shop and all that, she had to hide all the, all the good stuff from us on the wardrobe.
Well, I think so.
Well, [F] say hi, do you know where we found it?
Yeah, yeah, of course, obviously,
you [Gb] know where, you had an idea where it was, surely.
Yeah.
Er, Michael's been on, er, I don't suppose you could thank Half Man Half Biscuit, er,
for writing me a card from their Glasgow gig, back in 2005, do you remember that?
What was that again, sorry, what did he do?
He wrote to my, this guy called Michael,
I don't know where he's from, he says, erm, I presume it's Glasgow, he said you wrote him a card
with, er, Glasgow gig in 2005.
Oh, what, like a postcard or something?
Yeah, I presume so.
Oh, yeah, po- yeah, possibly, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I can't remember from [F] one date to another, to be honest,
but yeah, yeah, yes, we did, yes, that's right, yeah.
Alright, [N] fine.
Yeah.
It'll be like that from Glasgow, yeah.
Just so I can begin with.
Yeah.
Er, John Hughes has been on, says, Hiya, can you please tell my girlfriend to wake up,
or she'll miss Half Man Half Biscuit?
As I type, she's snoring away on the sofa.
Er, and then another one that followed about two minutes later, her name's Claire, the sleepy one
about to miss Half Man Half Biscuit, wake her up.
Well, erm, wake up now, Claire,
cos you're about to do your second tune.
Right-o.
It's a new one, yeah?
Er, yeah, it's another new song, yeah.
Erm, Totnes, Bickering Fair, ah, lovely.
Oh, okay.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I have to do that but I would kind of then once I learnt a few codes
[N] Yeah, so I'm right those sort of words thinking that that's what you did
That was like rock and roll the bottom
I felt stupid writing stuff about the you know I wasn't really experiencing
Yeah, I thought my experience is being on the dole watching
Yeah, early daytime selling stuff like that that was in the early days
Yeah, right with your nose what do you say
Yeah, of course, but it is like completely unique the way you do it
And I know it's hard for you to agree with that but you know just the fact that
I'm not saying it's not like a celebration of the kind of average or anything
But it's almost like you're a chronicler of the fact that you mentioned people like
Tony Gubber and Gordon Burns and you know Bob Wilson and
Probably a tragic reflection of my life isn't it really more than anything
But they are great great tunes I know because I know Peel was a huge fan wasn't he
John Peel and I know a lot of people say well you know I owe a lot to John Peel
For what he did but literally in your case
We do, certainly we do, yeah, yeah
I'm sure really nobody else would have maybe played it at the time
Because even from a technical angle you know like the first album
You know probably wouldn't get past military muster
On it's production values these days but he took it and he played it immediately
Well it is a classic, in fact we played I Hate Nerys Hughes the other week
Am _ I right in saying though is it a myth that that cost about 40 quid to make
Yeah at the most probably, we could change from 40 pounds
Alright and it sold about 200,000 didn't it
I'm not sure, I'm not sure
Well you'd have to sell it wouldn't you
Okay alright, well you're going to be back in about another 15-20 minutes Righto
I look forward to it very much
