Gilbert O'Sullivan: Nothing Rhymed
Posted by Dave Amitri on 14 March 2010 - 2:33pm.
This song has been rattling around in my head for the last few weeks. On a lazy Sunday afternoon and in the spirit of the "Sundays like they used to be" thread it seems a perfect time to share it.

You are
Danny Baker and i claim my £1, Candyman.
Put me out of my misery please
why Danny Baker?
Danny is forever
quoting big chunks of Nothing Rhymed, Alone Again Naturally and We Will
On Sunday next if the weather holds
we'll have that game But I bagsy-being-in-goal
not because I'm good
Or because I think I should
it's just that well at my age
I think standing still would really suit me best
Do we all agree?
Hands up those who do hands up those who don't, I see
well in that case will we please
be kind enough if on Sunday
to go to mass on Monday
We will
Thanks, now I understand
it's nice to see there's some love for GO'S. He has written some wonderful songs.
He also...
...did this:
That...
is a great song. Beautiful.
Not to mention
Reminds me faintly of my own wedding day. Perhaps that explains why I'm about to acquire an ex wife. I don't care, though - I bloody love this song.
Darn it
I was originally trying to find a lovely version of this song by Emm Gryner. I found these versions instead.
* NOTE * does not contain the Morrissey version. That's just wrong.
Gilbert at his peerless best
