Even Christy has a bird

tallaght01

So, I've just split up with a girl I'd been going out with for a while.

I was feeling a bit sorry for meself, so I threw on a DVD and did some comfort eating

I watched "My left foot". Great movie. But it just made me feel more sad, because even Christy Brown managed to hang on to his bird in it

So, me new drumkit arrived today, and I'm feeling artistic. I'm working on a song called "Even Christy has a bird".

Questions:

1) Will I have to tone down the title to get mainstream radio airplay?

2) Can someone give me some lyrics....All I have so far is "Eeeeeeeeven Chistyyyyyyyy has a buuurrrrrddddd".

many thanks

Calm down. It's all just banter. No offence towards anyone intended.

It would be a whole new genre.

Oh I'm not offended, i love a retard joke as much as the next man. It was the notion of you writing songs on your drum kit that has me worried.

When comfort food just won't deliver
I need wheeling to love's great river
I sit on the brink but I just can't go in
I need a new love to dip my toe in

Chorus
Must I be down all my days?
Is it time to jump ship to the gays?
No, I will not be deterred!
Even Christy has a bird

Spoken bit:

You know there's something about you, baby, that I just can't put my foot on....

Etc.

Final lines should be -

But if even Christy has a bird, why not me ?
What has he to offer with which I cant compete ?
Oh yeah .... cerebral palsy ....

There is honestly a world of talent on boards that I never knew existed.

I haven't laughed like this in ages :pac:

When times are tough and I can't stand tall.
Pretending I'm crippled may just do the trick,
And get me a home to rest my......head"

Who's got a number for the Arts Council?

But he's got a toe,
a magic toe,
and it can anywhere
that your weiner can go

Christyyyyyyyyyyy christyyyyyyyyy

See, that's why i'm the drummer and not the song writer

tallaght01

Do ya reckon daniel day lewis would front the band?

I've heard about his method acting, though,and there's no way I'm bringing him to the jacks

Xavi6

Tallaght01, can you play any other instrument? Just that I wouldn't mind gettin that one armed drummer from Def Leppard in for effect.....

Slightly updated version - done in a rush so it might read too well -

Sitting there by Dublins liffey,
Waiting for my love to come join me,
But there ne'er a sign,
I dry my eyes and head back to whence I came from.

Why does this always happen ?
Why do they never call ?
What can I offer them to show i have it all ?
Why does Christy have a bird but not me ?

Is it his smile ?
Is it his looks ?
Is it the way his toes can thumb through books ?
Why does Christy have a bird but not me ?

I called him up,
Christy my friend,
How do you get the women ?
He told me - "Bweaghh weee neaghhh muuur !"
Why does Christy have a bird but not me ?

*Singing Slowly*
But if even Christy has a bird, why not me ?
What has he to offer with which I cant compete ?
Oh yeah .... cerebral palsy ....

OOhhh Christay, your girl is sooo cute,
you must be sad that she's a mute,
and when you look into her eyes
and put your foot up to the skies,
you only see love, love, love....

Nowww Christay, you gotta get out of that wheelchair,
and run your toes right through her hair,
and on that chair you'll have to sit
before you have another fit
But you only see love, love, love..

Chorus/
Now Christy had a girl, with his foot he made her whirl..
She used dance & smile but only for a while
mainly for the reason she could fall into a child
he gave her gifts like letters but she could not accept
even though she loved him, her eyes were not adept....

That brought a ****in tear to my eye, mate, well done

Hai guise, I'm from IMRO. Stop posting lyrics in this thread. You can continue when you pay me one million dollars.

"In the dark of Dorset Street
To the hollows of Westmeath
Wheelchair man and wheelchair chick
Mount each other,quick,quick,quick

Foot me... Foot me with your big left foot
Foot me.. foot me
Foot me with your big left foot
Foot me.

From the wastes of Phibsboroh
To the riches of Rathgor
Christy gives 'em all a go
Boning lassies with his toe

Foot me... Foot me with your big left foot
Foot me.. foot me
Foot me with your big left foot
Foot me.

Brilliant, FB. That has to be the opener for the second album, Play Christy For Me.

If we're going to make a career out of this, we'll also need a terrible mid-career calamity. How about the ill-advised move into rap?

Two toes holding a Hennessy snifter
Two toes rolling a king-sized bifter
Leaves one for you, ho, you know I'm ballsy
I got more rhymes than cerebral's got palsy

Word, motherFricker.

Oh the tears, they won't stop streaming!

Christy Brown a clown around town
Now he's a man of renown from Dingle to Down
I type with me toes
Suck stout through me nose
And where it's gonna end
God only knows

Down all the days
The tap-tap-tapping
Of the typewriter pays
The gentle rattling
Of the drays
Down all the days

I have often had to depend upon
The kindness of strangers
But I've never been asked
And I never replied
If I supported the Glasgow Rangers

Down all the days
The tap-tap-tapping
Of the typewriter pays
The gentle rattling
Of the drays
Down all the days

Out around town, me and the guys,
Looking for a bird with beautiful eyes.
We spy some honeys out near the front door
While Christy drinks pints through a straw on the floor.

Oh isn't he sweet, one wench sighs,
As the rest of the lads notice some boils on her thighs.
The lads all feel ill, and start to shudder,
And then someone cries "Let Christy take her"

All hell breaks loose as the happy couple unite,
About the boils on her legs, Christy couldn't give a sheite,
For once, the famous scribe is lost for words,
All he can now think is "Even Christy has a bird".

FlutterinBantam

:D:D

Well done!!!

It's been an in-joke amongst my friends for 20 years to shout this whenever we're playing football and someone goes to take a peno.

The most 'out' 'in' joke ever!!!

tallaght01

Some great stuff in there guys...

My current misery will soon be over when I collate all these lyrics and make a fortune when I spend 40 weeks at number 1 with "Even Christy has a bird".

Anyone got any ideas for the album? The CD would have be designed to look like a wheelchair wheel for starters.

The band could be called 'Christy Brown, supported by Brenda and the Frickers"

Its kind of spoken word, but theres scope for it in an interlude or something.

BobTheBeat

Thanks chap. I have more, not as on topic, but nonetheless is short sharp concise and to the point.

Out in the back
Sittin on the ground
Christy takes a penno
From the crowd not a sound

Into the top corner
The ball flys like a pidge'
Christy shouts out
I dont want fukkin porr-idge

Hes da shouts out
My son is a christeeee
If you want twins
a 1/2 hour in the gee

Its decided so. Ill get on to Itunes and RMG with a view to getting distribution in Ireland and the Uk.

Lads, I nearly forgot, we need stage names.

Tallaght01 = "T-Alent aka T-Taller aka Holla atchore Ma"
Xavi = "BC Flow Styles aka Fluid-t aka MC Mickey money "
Bobmeaney = "Bob shob aka Ho-over Dose aka Beans"

Ross_Mahon

Christy and his left foot
Drinking whiskey in his hut
Nobody to save him
Nobody to love him

Until one day, Christy got up...he walked to the nearest pub (Sang in a low talking like voice)

He said HEY YOU!
Give me your number
And let me show you
What this left foot can do

*Epic Solo* :cool:
