crying like a fire in the sun

ok
i'm writing my own acka dacka songs from now on
for a start that geezer is one of the only blokes older than me
still going in rocknroll
so i'm a spring chickling compared to his venerable old carcass
ive already been shopping round for the hat
and i found a nice one at grimsbys fashions for seniors
with kilbey plaid on it
i wear it at a rakish angle
looking like a cross between andy capp n sid james
('allo darlin'!)
i'm taking some waddle n strut lessons from a man at the pub
including hefting guitar playing fifty year old school children aloft
(not tripping over their homework etc) and staggering about
i'm working on some lyrics...here 'ave a look
n tell me what you think....
i'm thinking of calling this one something like...

BIG KNOCKERS

i woz out one day walking my cock-er(wink to lads in crowd)

and i wanna get me hands on yer BIG KNOCKERS

dont look down cos my sausage is a shocker
(then crowd joins in)
and we wanna get out our hands on yer BIG KNOCKERS

BIG KNOCKERS
BIG KNOCKERS
BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG KNOCKERS
love to roll my baby cos ya know she is a rocker
but i wanna bang bang wif yer BIG KNOCKERS
(fists punch the air on bang bang)

look i know its a still in an embryonic stage
i know a few parts need some work
i'll be polishing it up a little over the coming months
as i do my vocal warm ups
i'm going for a cross between
a bawling cockney sergeant major
and an old codger sitting down in a bath
and suddenly finding out thats its much too hot...
look it aint easy to sing like that
and i wanna look like the foreman on a demolition site
bellowing through the unbelievable racket going on around him
actually people have said to me
steven just ignore the singing n words...listen to the music
just ignore the singing n words!
yeah
like go n see this film...ignore the acting n the script..but otherwise..
how can you ignore the words n singing to a song?
how can one compartmentalize music like that?
ooh thats enough now steven john my boy
why do those guys push yer buttons?
oh i dont know..its so benny hill
i genuinely feel so fucking sorry for any young man
standing row upon row with others
with my fist in the air and mouthing the words..
whats wrong with me...?
dont i like fun..?
everybody should get some fun...thats what the west is all about
'aving a bit of fun
c'mon!

Also Ran said...

There ya go.

See???? Ya have got it in ya, and at last you’re lettin it out!

purge, baby purge!

Jasperina said...

Even in its embryonic state it is undoubtedly a killer song. Very funny. I'm scared to think how it could evolve especially since you have already included dreaded sausages...yuk. Grimsbys fashions for seniors...I'd love to check out that shop! Your funny blogs are the best.

veleska1970 said...

hahahahahahahahaha

i thought of spinal tap, too. think you could score a mockumentary from it? i'll telephone a personal friend of a personal friend of a personal friend of director rob reiner. i can visualize it now~~"this is....steve kilbey."

TheFurtherestRealm said...

Big knockers, big knockers,
all eyes flock to her
big knockers

I wanna be at a Kilbey gig, fists punchy the air
but I got the Spinal Tap riff in my head and not the accadacca one
I am no good at this Killer

anyway to the business at hand
I get home from the Manly Boatshed the other week with my stash of Kilbey merch

do I play Painkiller first, do I?
heck no I play Earthed now that I have it on CD, my vinyl is stashed in a cupboard somewhere, and the old tape I made of it has lost its shimmer so first time in years I can have a good listen

will it hold up?
come on Kilbey fans will it?

wheres the bad tracks on it
wheres the fillers Killer
why didn't Eno come knockin on your door or Lanois

20 odd years on
there aint no good tracks either
every little track on the album a multi-faceted brilliantly shimmering gem

I sit it beside my other fav instrumentals
Budds White Arcades
R. Enos Voices
and something by some funny duo going by the name of Gilt Trip

I can give you Noddy Holder's contact details if you like.

Richard said...

I can see your first interview after Big Knockers debuts at #1

(in suitable Syd James voice)

"I always knew we'd have a tit on our hands"


sorry all

Queen Hatshepsut said...

Like Limebeaver and Veleska, yes, the first thing I thought of was This Is Spinal Tap and Big Bottoms.

I got a good laugh out of the 'sausage' line. Thanks for that!
:)

kat said...

he he thanks for bringing a smile to me, sk! har

ml68 said...

aaaah Kilbey, you've done it agaaain!!

ml68 said...

the real fucked up part is that Ive now got a chorus to a non existent tune stuck in my fucking head..."BIG KNOCKERS etc etc..."...how fucked is that ...thanx SK.

Brien Comerford said...

A funny blog but the AC/DC epidemic is musically deadly. They are on the cover of virtually every major magazine including Rolling Stone, Q, Classic Rock and the usual rag suspects. Reviewers are lauding the new CD. Consistent quality rock music was only based on merit in the 1960's. Could you imagine AC/Dc competing with the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Byrds, Dylan, The Doors, Beach Boys (Brian Wilson Era) and the Who.

Brian, Angus and the boys are in Chicago tomorrow night and Saturday night. 40,000 instinctoids will be pumped-up and mesmerized to listen to the their grating audio abominations.AC/DC can bank on it.

steve kilbey said...

ah brien
are we the only ones who see the ominous evil at the heart of this whole weird thing
oooooh ...its so fuckin' creepy!
sk

ross b said...

ha ha! :) I needed a midday laugh, you call that fun?.., all that aggro & menace, sounds like a highway to hell! ;)

look out the saints are coming through
and it's all over now baby blue

m.p.k said...

I was just about to ask if you're writing for ACDC now SK. Brien beat me to it. ACDC isn't all that bad for what it is. At least it isn't whiney. The worst rock too me is these bands that in their music whine incessantly about how lame and unhappy they are and how their girlfriends dump them. I think I prefer BIG KNOCKERS to that stuff...

...being here, doing this... said...

BIG KNOCKERS
BIG KNOCKERS
BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG KNOCKERS
love to roll my baby cos ya know she is a rocker
but i wanna bang bang wif yer BIG KNOCKERS

~

chick's with big knockers just don't do it for me for some reason!

but...each to their own!

eek said...

Oh dear. Am I going to have to ignore you now, Steve? ;-)

PAGEY said...

she's got big KNOCKERS

BUT I'VE GOT big ballz

linjo said...

Ha ha you make me laugh so much sometimes Steve!!!
good one! Linda

Thomas Irvin said...

We can all rest easy knowing you're using your considerable powers for good, not evil.

Having said that, I was recently listening to "Till The Cows Come Home" and thought about the perfectly clever rhyme structures in such a simple song. You're so good at that sort of witty rhyme that I do sometimes wish they made more frequent appearances.

lily was here said...

Dont cry Steve when youre making me laugh so much! Hey, I was 11 and impressionable. Dont know anyone else's excuse :) You might have something there but you'll need the marketing $$$ machine they have. xxooxx

davem said...

You've got the hands for it SK!!!

12str said...

got a band name for your new musicalproject man...

BIG DICK AND THE FORESKINS

would love to see your stage outfit..why not leather shorts bavarian style and that nice little hat with a feather in it!!

rock on!!

//P

Hellbound Heart said...

excuse me while i go and clean up the drink that i sprayed all over my computer while i was reading this....
you are a funny bastard, kilbey...
love always...

Hellbound Heart said...

..i know, your next song could be THIS AIN'T SOCKS DOWN ME JOCKS...
what about JERKIN' ME GHERKIN...hmmm?

persephone2u said...

You mean I'm not the only one who has been told to just listen to the music and ignore the lyrics?

Whenever I tell people it's impossible I'm either told to just relax a bit and not be so critical (gee, it's mighty hard when the music sucks methinks), or the person handing out this priceless advice just looks at me and sighs, knowing it's pointless to argue. I think that's probably because they notice I'm already foaming at the mouth and fear what may happen next!

Celticat said...

Ockers Knockers and Rockers, Australia 2008 ;-)

Love to all yon Kilbey

verdelay said...

I've given up trying to be serious, but I'll be seriously disappointed if this is not on the next album by that band you're in.

CSTCoach said...

yikes!

well, if you're gonna do this, might as well go all out. that elderly schoolboy thing is so passe. i'm thinking a sombrero and a thong, cleverly accessorized with a plastic whistle.

steve kilbey said...

i'm wearing jock strap n gaiters
and my band will be called
the test tickles
our first album will be called
boy grunter splashes your boots
out now on ooooooh! records

knot said...

oh My.

My brothers always liked AC/DC and scratched my Jam lps just to be jerks.

knot said...

But, my brothers did not wear garters. You have to go down to Folsom Street for that.

fantasticandy said...

told you!
it's SO easy.....
and everyone loves this stuff.
...so easy.

steve kilbey said...

gaiters not garters !!!!!!

eek said...

But you'd look so cute in garters.... :-)

CSTCoach said...

He's right, though. Gaiters don't need garters to hold them up. They hold themselves.

It could be a nice formal accessory, though, for when the test tickles are nominated for an aria.
