I think there's enough in the first 90 seconds of Water to give the game away to anyone vaguely familiar with their early records.

Oh noes...how are they going to avoid the aerosol particulates from a 1000 heaving bodies in the venues?

Sir no the Kings of swearing at it was funny, were the late great Pete and Dudd. Some of the funniest comedy ever IMHO.Lt Kudu.

Terrific in Monte Carlo Or Bust....no swearing needed

Swearing can be used to good comic effect and emphasis if it's used sparingly but if it's in use all the time it becomes invisible. I have been rewatching “Keeping Up Appearances” on the BBC iPlayer, personally I’d have loved to hear Hyacinth Bouquet launching into a sweary rant, you can’t get much...

But then again people can be real snowflakes over the use of swear words, it’s nothing radical and seems to me just a part of at least 50% if people’s language irrespective of social class.

What's with the "serious song" misnomer - what - in a borderline, Billy Bragg hectoring serious song kind of way? No thanks. Toiler or La Folie (and many others obviously) are serious songs because they are artistic statements that can be endlessly analysed and be subjected to critical scr...
