Guest hallyscomet Report post Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) Baddad that was Roy Harper 'When an old cricker leaves the crease' And all remains, in the groundsman's pains, For the rest of time and a day. There'll be one mad dog and his master, pushing for 4 with the spin. On a dusty pitch, with two pounds six, of willowwood in the sun. When an old cricketer leaves the crease, you never know whether he's gone, If maybe you're catching a fleeting glimpse, of a twelfth man at silly mid-on. And it could be Geoff, and it could be John, With a new ball sting in his tail. And it could be me, and it could be thee, And it could be the sting in the ale.........sting in the ale. ......

Hi Baddad I have to admit I remember the words but had to get some help with his name. My family were cricket mad back then I think we must have had every cricket and footie song ever released you end up learning by rote as you here them so much, cricket and footie songs were top of the list for my brother and his friends, he used to dance around the house to some of them or down the backyard, my brother was a nutter.

mossgrove Report post Posted July 20, 2006 I confess I googled and found out. I think the reason everone is struggling is that it isn't a well known song here in the UK (I can't remember it at all). It maybe it was popular and it passed me by, but I don't think so. It was sung on American Idol but that show has never been very popular in the UK.

something vague Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Thanks Suze, I can answer yours David Bowie - Life on Mars As for Baddad, I think young American is in there somewhere and the original song that he mentions with the lines 'Waiting so long, I've been waiting so long' are gonna drive me mad cos I know it, i know i know it. Anyway lets just bypass those obscurish lyrics.

baddad Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Is that 'mothers of the lost' or whatever it is by stink? Sorry SV - The album was 'Lodger'... 'waiting so long/speaker was an angel' is 'Look back in anger'... Then there's a bit of 'African nightflight' and the last track was 'I am a DJ ( I am what I play)'... Life just kissed you 'hello' when you're a boy!! Think I'm probably gonna dig out my CD of it tomorrow.... L&P BD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boom!!) easy peasy Love&Peacy BD YES EASY PEASY, Its PINK FLOYD...................but I've forgotten the name of the song, it was the last song on the album and the album had a brilliant line drawing cover. My brother was pretty annoyed when I coloured the picture in. The next verse: - I know a room of musical tunes' Some chime some ching most of them are clockwork, Let's go into the other room and make em work. Then lots of wierd mechanical noises that i cant spell. Oh and there's a verse about a bike. The album also had Julia Dream, Arnold Lane and a really dreamy track about pillars of something. Maybe the album was called Pink Floyd, and the track might have been called Bicycle or maybe just Bike. Heres another easy one.........

mossgrove Report post Posted July 24, 2006 ...and I think the Pink Floyd song started "I've got a bike you can ride it if you like" and was called (surprisingly enough) "Bike".
