A mad cycling "song"
Heard tonight on radio6, "Fishface" by (I think) "Abdoujaparov".
Where a bloke rants at a motorist, with lines like "cycling used to be fun" and a fair bit more besides. Song quality's rotten though - nice sentiments, shame about the song. -- John Clayton www.calder-clarion.co.uk |

Indeed, he was briefly a member of the Dulwich Paragon. We hoped at one stage we might be able to get rid of a massive over-order of caps. :-) -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks" |

Just twigged that you can download the "Fishface" song from the website's download page. The lyric quoted by the OP is in fact: "I remember when the bicycle was safe and it was fun, But next time I cycle, I'm gonna bring a gun............ ........... that's right fishface, just for you!" In the words of Louis Walsh - "Oy loiked it". Ta Bronzie |

Ta people, I'm the OP.
I told me mate tonight and he paid once to see them, in Leeds. Along with three others and a whippet (he claims). -- John Clayton www.calder-clarion.co.uk Just twigged that you can download the "Fishface" song from the website's download page.
