Don’t keep calling it the Book of Revelations
Shit Arm, Bad Tattoo has probably been sent in to me (thanks, by the way!) by more people than any other, so it’s about time I posted it up. Great song, nothing to do with The Libertines, ‘cos Nigel said so (yeah, right). Another good modified football chant features. Thanks to Paul, Tony, Peter, EskimoEric etc…

Haven’t listened to this for a while but I always thought it was “hospital parking scheme”
Also thought it was “I went in the High Street”
Could well be wrong on both counts though

It is “hospital parking scheme”, bad editing on my part. I also thought it was “I went in the High Street”, until someone suggested “advent”, which seems more likely, and better.

Another vote for “Advent” – because you only busk when it’s Christmas, innit?

I think it could be ‘I vent in the high street’ as in letting off steam. Maybe?!

Nah, it’s advent. I THINK it refers to the cover of the NME xmas edition 2003 (??) where said band were busking

after the “busk when it’s christmas” line, there’s a background “come on!” before the next line

I’m pretty sure it’s “Or get a Celtic band”, not “Authentic Celtic band”.

Sorry, I always thought it was “Authentic Celtic band”. A dismissive comment on what was hugely popular in the late 90s, early 00s – that people would always say it’s an ‘authentic Celtic band’ like those who say ‘authentic Chinese symbols which mean X, Y and Z’ but in reality, mean nothing at best and something insulting at worst.

Whenever I hear “authentic celtic band” I always think of Clanad / Enya

Another vote for ‘authentic celtic band’ and ‘advent’.
and that ‘come on’ is one of my favourite HMHB moments.
