The screw they used to call vinegar titts sang that song in real life!!

it was good for a laugh
I was watching after they were famous and it had the freak and bea smith on it

I would have loved to have been in prisoner cell block H and met them

When I was a lad, I was a big fan of Big Country. The song that came to mind was: Chance.

All the rain came down
On a cold new town
As he carried you away
From your father's hand
That always seemed like a fist
Reaching out to make you pay

He came like a hero from the factory floor
With the sun and moon as gifts
But the only son you ever saw
Were the two he left you with

Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low

Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head
That you never knew you were young
Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance
And the price was far too long

Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low

Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low

Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low

Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low

Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low



Although I had a look through some of the other lyrics and now I've got goosebumps!

I must dig out some of my old LPs and give 'em a spin. I remember being very upset a few years ago when I heard Stuart Adamson had committed suicide, but I haven't played any of his stuff for ages, apart from Into the Valley (The Skids) which I've got on a compilation.

When the freak put her leather gloves on you knew some poor woman was in for it
I was about 14 when i used to watch it and hadn't really thought about the show until tonight

lol@stew. I wonder what they do now...........

Claiming unemployment benefit i would think

a few other songs makes me emotional like war songs, cos some shows wot they did and another song called u shuld really know by the pirates for some reason it makes me emotional

Just thought of another song-George Michael 'Praying for time'.This song is pretty special to me as i always associated it with my dad,who was dying of cancer years ago.

I got out a Big Country CD and played it in the car over the weekend.

As well as Chance, here's another that had the old eyes watering!

"Just A Shadow"
It went so well for you
With a place right where you wanted and the ones to fill it to
But some blows break the spell
That it hits you every day until you need to hit as well
It's just a shadow of the man you should be
Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see
You have no thought of answers only questions to be filled
And it feels like hell
It all seemed fine for you
Till the struggle of ambition turned in violence upon you
Sometimes a landslide comes
If you're hiding in that avalanche you need a place to run
It's just a shadow of the woman you should be
Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see
And you have no thought of answers only questions to be filled
And it feels like hell
I know there is no need for what's been done
I know there is enough for everyone
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
And there's never been a hand
Did we ever have it good
While we lived in Eldorado did we find the gold we should
If it really was the truth
Why are faces filled with anger that should only shine with youth
It's just a shadow of the people we should be
Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see
You have no thought of answers only questions to be filled
And it feels like hell
I know there is no need for what's been done
I know there is enough for everyone
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
And there never is a hand outside that cares
Still the promise comes of living fit for all
If we only get our back against the wall
I look at backs that pushed the wall for years
Scarred by many knives and too much fear

And here's a few lines from one of their songs for everyone who's having a ****ty time at the moment. There are a few, I know. Was thinking of yous when this played:

So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
