Will never get over the line "cold weather grub, available in the public house" instead of the obvious and rhyming "pub". Makes me laugh every time. Man is a genius.
1980s,Saw him about five times live down at camden lock next to the canal , sunday afternoon beer, stand up and cutting edge music...brilliant, well worth the queing in the rain and pay on the door and warm. Favorite JCC offering, Salome Malone, queen if the Ritz , give it a listen !!😊😊
Been desperately searching for a vinyl copy of Snap Crackle Bop . Had that in my youth . Him , Lynton Kweesi Johnston and Attila The Stockbroker. Loved punk and the way it opened things up for all sorts of wonderful artistic endeavors. Cheers mate .
He spent his younger years doing poetry readings (I'll say it again: _poetry readings!_ ) in front of rowdy drunk punk rock music crowds... (and winning 'em over) Now *that* takes serious GUTS! 👍
If your feeling horny But your chat up lines are corny You’ll always get a tumble with a crumble If frustration got you beat And your tired of beating meat You’ll always get a tumble with a crumble Stop feeling oh so dour By some sugar, apples and flour You’ll always get a tumble with a crumble
To listen to your verse Can't think of anything worse A poem about pie Has me asking... Why? But I'm not gonna worry I may order a curry Or perhaps a chicken wrap Anything is better than this crap
farinaceous /ˌfarɪˈneɪʃəs/ adjective consisting of or containing starch. "farinaceous foods" Well, as an English teacher for over 20 years.....JCC teaches me a new word today.
John Cooper Clarke once accused me of being "very polite" at one of his gigs.
I was, and still am, rather proud of that.
That's brilliant! :D
I had a G+ T with him and Jonny Green after a gig in Cork , said i was a Pre - Raphaelite punk ! Epic !

We all need more Johnny Clarke in our lives .
His book" I wanna be yours" - is a delight to read-recommended
Reading it now, and, yes, it is a good read.
You'll always get a man WITH. A. FLAN.
One of the BEST things I've heard! This bloke may be a genius.
Og rapper

Saw this guy a couple of months ago and he’s still razor sharp. Coolest fella on the planet, well except maybe for Harvey Keitel.
Seeing him in Glasgow next year, can’t bloody wait !
Scotia Enjoy!!!
LINDSAY ROGERS thanks 💕 studied his poem “I wanna be yours” at high school in English last year, been a fan ever since :)
Scotia I was a teacher of English Literature, now retired. I taught this guy’s poems to scallies in Liverpool and they absolutely loved it 😂
LINDSAY ROGERS wow, I’m from Glasgow, obviously 🙄 but I love your city! Been to Liverpool many times, longing to go again.

You’re the man Clarke
What an absolutely incredible man he is.
Studied this guy in English class for nearly a year. He’s the reason I love poetry.
He speaks my language
Love it! What a sound bloke x
SOULJAH ROCKER, JAHBLESS ....

Perfection

Superb 👍👍👍😁😁😁
I now need to try, to bake a pie for my guy...
Christy Fearn nice rhyme !
@Christy Fearn You don't need to bake the pie if you've already hooked the guy.
@@crose7412 Aye, but to keep the guy, it's best to try, to make a pie...!!
Saw him in LA
Profound!
Brilliant 😁
Farinacious vittles, absolute genius.
If you lived in Cardiff you would know that the only pies to eat are Clark’s pies!!
True. Genius 🤣

I Married That Monster From Outer Space
I saw this usualy switch off could belive John Cooper Clarke was in the fckn dictonary corner 🤣🤣
Legend !.
So true.
You know...he's not wrong.
Cold weather grub, available in the public house 😂
JCC on Haiku: To express oneself in seventeen syllables is very diffi-
He’s not wrong!
He is what I imagine Dracula would be like if he were English.
What season and episode is this from?

If your feeling horny
But your chat up lines are corny
You’ll always get a tumble with a crumble
If frustration got you beat
And your tired of beating meat
You’ll always get a tumble with a crumble
Stop feeling oh so dour
By some sugar, apples and flour
You’ll always get a tumble with a crumble
What? No gravy
Doesn’t look like he ever eats many himself.
Jimmy Saville....
Not bad but the lame canned laughter and Jimmy Carrp grate.
To listen to your verse
Can't think of anything worse
A poem about pie
Has me asking... Why?
But I'm not gonna worry
I may order a curry
Or perhaps a chicken wrap
Anything is better than this crap
Shakespeare would be shitting himself with competition like this. Not.
Hilarious. Not.
GTF, he's great and not in a "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin" limp way.
TheDavjo if you knew your Shakespeare you'd know it's littered with his type of humour
He’s not trying to be Shakespeare, he’s trying and has succeeded in depicting what it’s like in working class England
The most ridiculous looking bloke I've ever seen worse than Eddie Izzard.
Grown tired of him
The greatest sin known to man
A bore
ingredients of this sort just taste better under shortcrust
