The Half Man Half Biscuit Lyrics Project

Busking this at Embankment Tube tomorrow

179 pop songs picked over by pedants

Vatican Broadside is a singalong which ought to cause riots if it doesn’t get played at gigs. Come on, you all know the words to this already. Worked surprisingly well out of Song to the Siren on the Peel Session.

    First time I saw this played live (before it was recorded) the lyrics were “Robbie Williams and Liam Gallagher went to Rome to see the Pope” and the Pope said “who the fucking hell are these pair?”

    Guess it was not long after the williams/gallagher pretend punch-up at the brits or whatever.

    Hedley Verity

    The alternative last line (at Sheffield 2005 when we were between Pontiffs) was the classic …

    “in relation to me raising from the dead”
