Should be a good gig

Strange fact about that tune Eggs.

I bought it on cassette single when it came out, and the lyrics went -

‘There’s a funeral in the town,

Some guy from the top estate.

Seems they found him under a train,

And yet he had it all on a plate.’

 

It was quickly withdrawn, and the lyrics changed to -

‘Black car drives through the town,

Some guy from the top estate.

Left a note for a local girl,

And yet he had it all on a plate.’

 

The release coincided with the tragic murder of Jamie Bulger, so the lyrics were quickly changed out of respect to his family.

Every days a school day, I didn’t know that.

Good little " nugget " for the pub quiz ...
