Stavanger Toestub [Cammel Laird Social Club]

Bastard doorstep sockless stupid
Kill your laughter pain is brutal
Can’t walk properly for a fortnight
Deus Deus
Norway Reds in Bluecoat Chambers
The pain oh Momma the pain worse even than when I cut open
My kneecap on the freshly gritted slope and our village doctor
Cleaned out the wound with a wire brush
So now bang bang bang goes my plan (plan plan) to woo the peg lady
Colossal drag
Teach me to go barefoot

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

Bending of the stubs of anodes in aluminium smelters is known as the "toe-in" effect. There's a few smelters in Norway, around Stavanger. Interesting, but nowt to do with clobbering your toe.

Monkey Man adds:

Just prior to this album and a few years before Abramovich bankrolled them, Chelsea played in Europe and lost 4-2, pathetically, to a lowly Norwegian team by the name of Viking Stavanger. As the lyrics are muffled swear-words I always assumed it was an attempt to capture the mood of the Chelsea team on their long flight home. But then the above lyrics appear inside the cd cover and blow my theory out of the water although these words aren’t heard on the actual track
