Lyrics Yes it is hot Hey mister, have you got any good peanuts for sale...? I can't remember where or when I witnessed this affair But the young men did fight With drunken sailors in long, hot nights Under carnival lights, see the costumes glow neon-bright Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya Oh, it's festival time this year Yes it is... and how we hooped and we hollered Why it's madness 'round here, all light in the dark They're pushing and shouting, wild dogs bark And I watch as they sway, clowns drinking their cares away Is it fun? Is it joy? Are the grown-ups only boys? Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya Oh, it's festival time this year Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya On beer street 'round here No, no, no, no, no Just follow the band... So we drag ourselves 'round here every year And they're always fighting, coloured lighting Always drinking beer Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya Aaah, go on, bring me joy
What a band; lost gems abound from Life's Hard. Why they weren't massive is one of life's mysteries.
Love the energy on this stage.
Lyrics
Yes it is hot
Hey mister, have you got any good peanuts for sale...?
I can't remember where or when I witnessed this affair
But the young men did fight
With drunken sailors in long, hot nights
Under carnival lights, see the costumes glow neon-bright
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Oh, it's festival time this year
Yes it is... and how we hooped and we hollered
Why it's madness 'round here, all light in the dark
They're pushing and shouting, wild dogs bark
And I watch as they sway, clowns drinking their cares away
Is it fun? Is it joy? Are the grown-ups only boys?
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Oh, it's festival time this year
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
On beer street 'round here
No, no, no, no, no
Just follow the band...
So we drag ourselves 'round here every year
And they're always fighting, coloured lighting
Always drinking beer
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Aaah, go on, bring me joy
well said! x
another great II tune
where's the rest of the song? has anyone got it by any chance?
see all the band lookin groovy! Was this one filmed in the long lamented mr pickwicks on london road liverpool.
Why only 1:23?
I want more too!
Bascombe's very eighties shrieking women and drum box maybe didn't do justice to these songs after all...
lol what the heck is this :D i've got those sunglasses >;)
