The Half Man Half Biscuit Lyrics Project

The only thing growing faster than the number of blogs on the internet is the number of blogs quoting Half Man Half Biscuit lyrics. At this rate, we’ll have a Half Man Half Biscuit lyrical event horizon about 2032 where nothing else is ever published.

Trouble is, like darts in soap operas, most of them are so wrong. So with too much time on my hands, obviously, I’m trying to rectify the situation, and not only build a complete set of lyrics, but actually get them right (with a lot of help from your comments and corrections). It may take years. Should you have already transcribed any lyrics yourself, and want to contribute them, please email me and contribute to the cause! If you’d like a link back to anything, let me know. Otherwise, I’m adding them in a fairly whimsical order.

For proper explanations of the varied references which make Half Man Half Biscuit’s lyrics so unique, I’ll direct you immediately to the official HMHB site, which is awesome. And naturally there’s a Wikipedia article on Half Man Half Biscuit which probably gives as good a background to the band as you’re likely to get anywhere.

Finally, of course these lyrics are the copyright of the songwriter, and if that person has any objections to this non-profit-making site, please contact me and I’ll remove them immediately.
