    So, I've just split up with a girl I'd been going out with for a while.

    I was feeling a bit sorry for meself, so I threw on a DVD and did some comfort eating :p

    I watched "My left foot". Great movie. But it just made me feel more sad, because even Christy Brown managed to hang on to his bird in it :D

    So, me new drumkit arrived today, and I'm feeling artistic. I'm working on a song called "Even Christy has a bird".

    Questions:

    1) Will I have to tone down the title to get mainstream radio airplay?

    2) Can someone give me some lyrics....All I have so far is "Eeeeeeeeven Chistyyyyyyyy has a buuurrrrrddddd".

    many thanks :p

    Calm down. It's all just banter. No offence towards anyone intended.

    Hahahah do you think the entire song should be performed in my old schoolyard "christyyyyyyyyyyy" voice? :p

    It would be a whole new genre.

    Oh I'm not offended, i love a retard joke as much as the next man. It was the notion of you writing songs on your drum kit that has me worried.

    When comfort food just won't deliver
    I need wheeling to love's great river
    I sit on the brink but I just can't go in
    I need a new love to dip my toe in

    Chorus
    Must I be down all my days?
    Is it time to jump ship to the gays?
    No, I will not be deterred!
    Even Christy has a bird

    Spoken bit:

    You know there's something about you, baby, that I just can't put my foot on....

    Etc.

    All it needs is 'My Lovely Horse' music and it's next year's Eurovision entry.

    Pretending I'm crippled may just do the trick,
    And get me a home to rest my......head"

    We could get a whole album out of this. The Sound of One Foot Tapping.

    Who's got a number for the Arts Council?

    Slightly updated version - done in a rush so it might read too well -

    Sitting there by Dublins liffey,
    Waiting for my love to come join me,
    But there ne'er a sign,
    I dry my eyes and head back to whence I came from.

    Why does this always happen ?
    Why do they never call ?
    What can I offer them to show i have it all ?
    Why does Christy have a bird but not me ?

    Is it his smile ?
    Is it his looks ?
    Is it the way his toes can thumb through books ?
    Why does Christy have a bird but not me ?

    I called him up,
    Christy my friend,
    How do you get the women ?
    He told me - "Bweaghh weee neaghhh muuur !"
    Why does Christy have a bird but not me ?

    *Singing Slowly*
    But if even Christy has a bird, why not me ?
    What has he to offer with which I cant compete ?
    Oh yeah .... cerebral palsy ....

    OOhhh Christay, your girl is sooo cute,
    you must be sad that she's a mute,
    and when you look into her eyes
    and put your foot up to the skies,
    you only see love, love, love....

    Nowww Christay, you gotta get out of that wheelchair,
    and run your toes right through her hair,
    and on that chair you'll have to sit
    before you have another fit
    But you only see love, love, love..

    Chorus/
    Now Christy had a girl, with his foot he made her whirl..
    She used dance & smile but only for a while
    mainly for the reason she could fall into a child
    he gave her gifts like letters but she could not accept
    even though she loved him, her eyes were not adept....

    That brought a ****in tear to my eye, mate, well done :D

    Remembering Ian Dury

    "In the dark of Dorset Street
    To the hollows of Westmeath
    Wheelchair man and wheelchair chick
    Mount each other,quick,quick,quick

    Foot me... Foot me with your big left foot
    Foot me.. foot me
    Foot me with your big left foot
    Foot me.

    From the wastes of Phibsboroh
    To the riches of Rathgor
    Christy gives 'em all a go
    Boning lassies with his toe

    Foot me... Foot me with your big left foot
    Foot me.. foot me
    Foot me with your big left foot
    Foot me.

    Brilliant, FB. That has to be the opener for the second album, Play Christy For Me.

    If we're going to make a career out of this, we'll also need a terrible mid-career calamity. How about the ill-advised move into rap?

    Two toes holding a Hennessy snifter
    Two toes rolling a king-sized bifter
    Leaves one for you, ho, you know I'm ballsy
    I got more rhymes than cerebral's got palsy

    Word, motherFricker.
