Uploaded on Mar 13, 2009 - Aqualung71 Cool in the corner, tom cat sitting on the edge of the yard; sand-flies flitting. Orange order in a field of green. Smothers me to smithereens.
Rum and cola, ice cubes crashing. Jumping beans and brown eyes flashing. Long hair swinging, tell me how d'you feel? Well, hot and fancy, it's the habanero reel.
Troubled skin? Pour oil upon it. She's fit to burn in her new Scotch Bonnet. Spice up anybody's stew. Frogs and goats and chickens too.
Rum and cola, ice cubes crashing. Jumping beans and brown eyes flashing. Long hair swinging, tell me how d'you feel? Well, hot and fancy, it's the habanero reel.
Barefoot in the sunshine. Kicking empty beer cans down on a high tide line. Big wave nearly float your dress away. And I'm thinking that it's just another day: just another day.
Feel that hot rush starts its tickle. Sweat is rising, taste buds prickle with ears of bat and eye of eagle. It's just as well it's strictly legal.

Wootton Bassett A few lovely songs out there That song is so sad. "The folk of Wootton Bassett have death come to their door It visits them too frequently and it glorifies in war It joins hands with our leaders to leave a trail of broken men The folk of Wootton Bassett pray that it will end..."

Answer Ducks On The Wall
"...Oh, those ducks on the wall are beginning to move They're talking to me, I've got to get out I've got to get away from those ducks.."

Thanks Jim I've always wanted to be in a band - surprise surprise ! When I discovered your talent, I decided to talk to Ian first. He always likes TULL Chicks onstage. From now on you will be flown in as 'Special Guest Percussionist' when they play that song.

North Sea Oil. As far as I can see no other song. Energy Voice. Go on then, how many songs can you name that are inspired by oil?Written by Phil Allan - 09/04/2016 6:30 am Seventies prog-rock band Jethro Tull took inspiration from the offshore industry for their 1979 single North Sea Oil, which you can watch below. The track featured on the group’s album Stormwatch. The influential group – which has sold more than 60 million albums – were big in the 70s and this track was released four years after oil production began in UK waters. Jethro Tull – named after the 18th century agriculturalist – was led by Scots-born vocalist/flautist/guitarist Ian Anderson. Given their folk influenced credentials, the lyrics to North Sea Oil are heavy with irony – “Sugar-plum petroleum for energy, tightrope-balanced payments need a small reprieve, Oh, please believe, we want to be in North Sea Oil…” Another verse carries finds Anderson singing: “Prices boom in Aberdeen and London Town, 10 more years to lay the fears, erase the frown before we are all nuclear – the better way!” We can’t think of many other hydrocarbon-inspired tracks. Johnny Cash sang Roughneck and Cheryl Crow has a track called Gasoline. Mick Jones from the Clash did admit that the band’s 36-track triple album Sandinista had been written for “people who worked on oil rigs”. We can’t imagine today’s artists coming up with tracks about the modern day oil and gas industry, although you never know. Perhaps Justin Bieber will release “US shale oil blues, or Adele might find a slot on her next album for “Maximising Economic Recovery from the UKCS”. But then again, maybe not.
