WHITE

 

[carlosj]

WASH. Appropriate to have a minister on Sunday, eh?

[grumpyhack]

OUT

 

[carlosj]

[carlosj]

OK, so the phone has gone doolally, but I'll take it out to the ROAD

TELEGRAPH

 

[carlosj]

The telegraph is in a lot of COWBOY films.

[grumpyhack]

And a lot of cowboys have GUNS

 

[the beadle]

Two words this time, Lawyers and Money for the excitable boy himself

[grumpyhack]

Three guys who've made a lot of money, and probably a lot of money for their lawyers too.

NOTHING

you see the geezer singing? He had a later life as "superstar DJ" Jeremy Healey.

</useless fact>

[carlosj]

Link word is OWE.

I knew about Jezza going on to be a DJ, and that one of these fellahs went on to be a vampire. It's the useful information that I can't retain :-(

OWN

A fascinating history to this song.  Originally written by white boy David Gates for his band Bread it was picked up two years later by Jamacian Ken Boothe and became a reggae classic and a UK Number One.

It's also been recorded by people ranging from Boy George, Rod Stewart and Chrissie Hynde (not together) to Shirley Bassey and Boyzone (also not together).

You can't keep a great song down.

[carlosj]

Own to it's MINE. This is a bizarre video with a very young over acting Jools Holland.

[grumpyhack]

An even younger Jools.

Take Me I'm YOURS

 

[carlosj]

Link word is JOKE.

Two men in a bar, one's constantly shivering, so the other asks "What's up with you?" "Oh, it's an attack of tropical Yaws." "What's Yaws?" the first guy asks. "Another pint, cheers."

AND the video is a third mention in a row of Jools Holland!

[grumpyhack]

THIEF

 

No Jools but a keyboard playing looking like a pratt.

[brandycoke]

Just what this thread needs is ....yet another Jools connection .

Stealing .

CLOSE

Allentown became something of a blue collar anthem as it tells of jobs going as steelworks closed and other factories were shut down taking away the workers' livelihoods.

 

[carlosj]

Closed for (monkey) BUSINESS.

[whisty]

Oops, seems I was about five pages behind, I'll be back

From the album Business as Usual what a cracker that album was back in the day for me anyway.

 

And from the same album with a famous Beatle.

Wow whisty, I bought that album last week for 99p, hadn't heard men at work for years!

OK, link word is TRANSLATION. Comme d'habitude is French for as per usual.

[grumpyhack]

TOGETHER

 

A tortuous connection.  A version of Bryan Ferry's song More Than This was used in the film Lost in Translation.  I was going to use his performance of the song at Glastonbury in 2014 but thought that this was a more upbeat song that he did in a great set. And a good translation can help us stick together.  

P.S. Don't forget to arrange your postal vote for the EU referendum during Glastonbury.

 

 

[oneeye]

Lots of things you can do together including WALKING

 

[grumpyhack]

BOOTS

When this song was first released fifty years ago this was cool.  How the world has changed - or not.
