They’ve got nothing but total respect for Annie Lennox
Even if yer missus doesn’t “get” Half Man Half Biscuit, Paintball’s Coming Home is the one she’ll still laugh at. The “Annie Lennox” line remains funny even on the millionth listening. Probably the best-ever example of Nigel’s favourite past-time of ranting against middle class twats. Loads of live variations too.

Also heard live: “They got the Rat Pack CD in the checkout queue…” and “They got the Best of Johnny Cash in the checkout queue…” – the latter with a “I shot a man in Tesco – just to watch him die” bit. Can’t remember the pay-off lines though!

I can’t remember it from Bath last Thursday, due to too much leaping, but it was something like…
They’d do absolutely anything to be in…

The Top Gear audience.

There are two extra verses that can clearly be heard on the bootleg from The Arches, Glasgow, 21st May 2009;
They go through hell and high water for the chance
They go through hell and high water for the chance
They go through hell and high water for the chance
To be in the Top Gear audience
They’re really into their music, their tastes are broad
