Paradise Lost (You're the Reason Why) [Cammel Laird Social Club]

Well you say you only watch documentaries
And that bad cold you’ve got that’s the flu
And the book that you foisted upon me
I’ll never read it will you

Did you play in the Garden of Eden
Were the goal keeper’s gloves to you tossed?
Coz it seems to me you’re the reason
You’re the reason why paradise lost

Was it you who invented the school run
At the Laboratoire Garnier goal [????]
And is it you who’s to stone for the motorway cone
Barry Venison and Davina McCall?

Did you play in the Garden of Eden
Were the goalkeeper’s gloves to you tossed?
Coz it seems to me you’re the reason
You’re the reason why paradise lost

Oh regain it for me Rodney

Well we’ve all seen you personalised reg plates
And it’s not the worst crime I agree
But we both know full well that it really should spell
“T” “W” “A” “T”, “O” “N” “E”

Did you play in the Garden of Eden
Were the goalkeeper’s gloves to you tossed?
Coz it seems to me you’re the reason
You’re the reason why paradise lost (x3)

And now the notes taken from www.hmhb.co.uk

Paradise Lost poem about Adam and Eve by John Milton - basically a long-winded version of Genesis (the first book of the Old Testament, rather than the band, who were long-winded enough as they were).
Laboratoire Garnier Laurent Garnier's beauty product empire.
Barry Venison ex-Sunderland,
Liverpool, Newcastle and Southampton left back, now an ITV soccer pundit.
Davina McCall stated off as an MTV presenter, now seems to on the box even when it's switched off (Big Brother, Don't Try This At Home, The Vault, Streetmate, Sam's Game and now bloody Popstars).
"Regain it for me, Rodney" a reference to
Milton's bestselling sequel, Paradise Regained

  1. Did you play in the Garden of Eden


    Wear the goal keeper’s gloves ‘til you tossed [????]
    Coz it seems to me you’re the reason
    You’re the reason why paradise lost

    I've always understood the lyric to read:

    "Were the goalkeepers gloves to you tossed?"

  2. And is it you who’s too stoned for the motorway cone
    Barry Venison and Davina McCall

    "And is it you who's to stone
    for the motorway cone, barry venison and davina mcCall"

    but in my opinion stoning's too good for the creator of these

  3. Thanks for both of those Anthony. It's amazing how obvious it all seems when someone else gives you the words.

    Cheers again.
