The Compassion of The Chris.

Pighead was reading a trashy rag the other day and was amazed to find out about the legendary Chris DeBurghs healing powers. Turns out the great man is not only one of the worlds greatest tunesmiths but he fixes people too. Surely its no coincidence that his first name is so very nearly "Christ."

Anyway if you could call Chris and he was available what would you ask him to heal for you. And more importantly what song would you ask him to sing whilst doing it. (May as well utilise both his wonderful gifts if he's available)

Pigheads would be as follows:

Ailment for Healing: Pigheads knee sometimes explodes with pain and swells up for days. If Chris were available I'd ask him to fix me.

Song for Healing: Missing You.

Ailment for Healing: Achilles tendon

Song for Healing: It's a fine time to leave me Lucille

I'll get me coat...

Too subtle I think,

Lucille = loose heel

Give Chris a call, he can heal your head and banish those evil noises that refuse to go away.

Thats the greatest load of bollocks Pigheads heard since that time Le Rack claimed she was sexually active. Pigheads looking at the Username called Mirror, Pigheads asking him to change his ways.

Ailment (not really but): My favourite white shirt came out pink from the washing machine.

Song: It was the Lady in Red.

I'll go now.

Love the way you've linked the ailment to the song. Only the most devout fan could achieve such a feat. Bravo Raphael.

Sample lyric from Spanish Train:

Joker is the name, Poker is the game,
we'll play right here on this bed,
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet,
the souls of the dead!!"

As am I! (Except for Lady In Red).
This thread makes me feels young, it feels good. Chris DeB won't need to be curing me any time soon, touch wood, while you oldies...well, don't put all your hope in Chris' magic hands

Ailment for Healing: Sea Sick

Song for Healing: Don't pay the Ferryman.

Ailment for healing: A worrying lack of creative momentum from Pighead of late.

Anthem: Writer's Block, by Peter, Bjorn and John.

Pigead is a closet deBurgh fan!

Worry not, Brother Mooney. Pighead is suffering from what is known in the biz as "Difficulty In Producing Some Hilarity In Threads Syndrome"(AKA D.I.P.S.H.I.T.S).

Its a common enough problem and can be likened to musicians suffering from Difficult Second Album Syndrome". Usually the blame lies with cheap hookers, expensive drug habits and conversing with coolsmileygirl too often.

However just like Chris DeBurgh (who bounced back with the magnificent At The End Of A Perfect Day after the somewhat underwhelming 2nd album Spanish Train and Other Stories) Pighead shall rediscover his muse.

There is a Lady in Red in Pighead.
It shall be called Lady In Pighead(Love Song For

I never really doubted you, Piggeh.

You just needed some motivation.

Feral Mutant · 07-11-2006 10:58pm

Heard about this on the panel. Their theory is that it's due to a misunderstanding backstage.
Some guy: Ow my leg hurts
Chris: Here, let me touch it
Some guy: Eh no, no it's fine now.

Adam · 07-11-2006 11:29pm

This is not to say I have never heard any, I'm sure I would recognise several from radio play etc. but it is the honest truth, I have absolutely no knowledge of DeBurgh or his works. Even Lady In Red.

/me googles lady in red to have a listen

Mirror seems to have left us. The song has obviously touched the wee lads heart. Chris's soothing warm voice has obviously swept him away to a love filled land far away from boards. Enjoy it Mirror, for the first time is always the best.

On a side note, anybody else notice the first related thread link at the bottom of this page?
