The Half Man Half Biscuit Lyrics Project

Busking this at Embankment Tube tomorrow

98 songs transcribed and counting!

Does your bus go by the Dark Satanic Mills?

Depressed Beyond Tablets is as depressing as you’d expect from the title - as one reviewer once wrote: “I do hope it’s not too autobiographical” but it does seem personal enough that it might just be the case. The song always reminds me of 4AD3DCD, which isn’t nearly as glum. Thanks to Paul

    Chris/Paul: Isn’t it ‘cloud base’ (a recognised meteorological term) as opposed to ‘cloud face’? Nearly at 100! How many songs are there in total in the HMHB canon?

  2. It is “cloud base”, of course. Thanks. And how I wish we were nearly at 100 (we’re at 79 at the time of writing), because then we’d be over halfway there. We’re not halfway yet though! Still, the second half should be easier, lots of old songs which have been published lots of times before, all I’ll have to do is to come to a consensus on the bits where people differ.

    At the end I think it’s “I’m DBT GBP” (as in Depressed Beyond Tablets Gone Beyond Pills).

    Keep up the great work!

  4. My typo count increases as senility approaches.

    i hear “other results of…” as “oh the results of…”
