Sore feet obstruct them from their chores
Therefore praise the permanent
Fixture in the firmanent
Nations pass yet he remains
Five gas lighters for a pound
Snide rosettes outside the ground
Always comes in through Stranraer
Jarg Armani in the car
When archangels interfere
These things you hitherto held dear
Shall be rendered obsolete
At the dark end of the street
Yet his call still lingers on
Five gas lighters for a pound
Snide rosettes outside the ground
Always comes in through Stranraer
Jarg Armani in the car
Spares for Silverstone
Drum from Amsterdam
Sacks of Candarel
Next door's NTL
And now for the notes taken from www.hmhb.co.uk
Jarg According to Geoff - who is also convinced that everyone will be using it now that Merseyside has invented it - all the kids describe something that's crap or snide as "Jarg".
Armani Giorgio, Italian designer who came to prominence in the 70's, convicted of corruption in the 90's. Don't believe he's any relation to Giuseppe, the sculptor.
Stranraer
Silverstone Quiet Northamptonshire village (now the bypass is built), invaded every now and then for a grand prix (until Bernie Ecclestone gets his way).
Canderel Low calorie sweetener. "For a healthy balanced lifestyle that tastes as good as sugar".
NTL Cable TV and internet.
Five lighters for a pound a familar cry from shopping centres and markets. The bloke holding the cardboard tray of disposable gas lighters offers his own alternative to the Retail Price Index and a clue to the disposable income of the average Britain. At their monthly meetings The Bank of England Monetary Committee collate the national trend of "how many lighters to the pound" to determine whether interest rates should change. Just a decade ago it was two lighters for a pound. Oh prosperous Britian. The poor bloke will soon be giving whole trays away for a pound.

I think it's Drum from Amsterdam i.e. rolling tobacco, rather than drums.
