I’d forgotten about this one until “The Convalescent” popped up on shuffle last night:

“Eyes quickly shift to a jackal fucking.”

Steve brought up a good one on this week's episode of DYLU. He thought the chorus of Hazelton Avenue was 'two heads will turn out of you.'

I have to confess that listening to Nicky on Absolute 80s talking about Paul Weller I have miss heard the lyrics of Going Underground for about 40 years. I always thought it odd that they allowed “playing shit on my tv screen” when I have just found out it’s “ Braying sheep on my tv screen”
The Manics did definitely say “ this happiness corrupt political shit” on ME didn’t they???

Didn't have them down as fans of The Jam. Perhaps the intro of 4st 7lb really is a reference to Eton Rifles then!

You're right about ME and I struggle to think of any other songs where the radio edit still includes a swear word. A lot of that comes down to James' pronunciation I would say. Lots of people probably wonder exactly where is this 'corrupt political shed' ?

They definatly used to crap on The Jam/Weller in the early days, but then again they used to crap on everyone!

In more recent years howver Nicky was full of praise for Paul Wellers 22 Dreams and Wake Up The Nation albums, saying hpw inspiring it was that he had done some of the most interesting and vital work of his career in his 50s. Nicky also mentioned a couple of years ago that Ghosts was his favorite Jam song and that he always listenes to it while driving down to London or somthing like that.
Think JDB might have appeared with Weller at a teenage cancer trust gig once aswell to sing a Style Council song.

Less misheard and more my brain just deciding this is the lyric - "it's still snowing on Sbarro". I've been singing it all day in work
