Nice Guy

Blimey guv’nor, am I the only one in here again, same old same old, never changes……………..

Ah well in the words of Cat Stevens or whatever his flipping name is now:


Another saturday night and I ain’t got nobody
I’ve got some money ’cause I just got paid
Now how I wish I had someone to talk to
I’m in an awful way.

I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then,
If I could meet ’em I could get ’em
But as yet I haven’t met ’em
Thats how I’m in the state I’m in.

Chorus

Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein’ my deliverance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named frankenstein.

Chorus

Its hard on a fella
When he don’t know his way around
If I don’t find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I’m gonna have to blow this town.

Another saturday night and I ain’t got nobody
I’ve got some money ’cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I’m in an awful, ooh, I’m in an awful way,
He’s in an awful way, I’m in an awful way,
I’m in an awful way, he’s in an awful way.

Dear dear, a little frustrated are we Nice Guy? Well coincidentally I just got paid and I'm spending my honest earnings on some wool cos I've gone knitting mad (hence my absence from many a forum except the knitting related ones). Yeah sad you might say but I'm getting orders from all over the place. Here's an example of my handiwork:



art nouveau pencil case

there's more but the pictures came out too large

Hi Phyllis

Tried to give to some knitting karma, but told me I had to knit one pearl one before I could give you any more.

So just to say a lovely design and not that I am really interested(!), but just curious, but where are the knitting forums, surely not on this shallow website?

Hey Phyll, you could make those a big bigger, weave a sliver fern design into it, stuff with a foam square and sell them off at Rugby matches. Let me act as your NZ agent and you pay me with some decent books

A good merino/possum blend would work well to insulate behinds on cold nights.

Blimey, another week over in the Land of the Fluffy White Bits, my my time does fly!

Now lets have a recap, lots of reasons why people leave New Zealand, even with or without the offer of a lift to the airport, insurance is expensive in Oz, tt is one his way home taking all his gear with him and a Steiner is not really a type of beer!

Think I’ll put 50c in the juke box, hmmmmmmmmmm lets see I fancy a bit of nostalgia, ah yes here we go…………..

The Kinks

They put a parking lot on a piece of land
When the supermarket used to stand.
Before that they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local palais.
That's where the big bands used to come and play.
My sister went there on a Saturday.

Come dancing,
All her boyfriends used to come and call.
Why not come dancing, it's only natural?

Another Saturday, another date.
She would be ready but she's always make him wait.
In the hallway, in anticipation,
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.

Come dancing,
That's how they did it when I was just a kid,
And when they said come dancing,
My sister always did.

My sister should have come in at midnight,
And my mum would always sit up and wait.
It always ended up in a big row
When my sister used to get home late.

Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate.

The day they knocked down the palais
My sister stood and cried.
The day they knocked down the palais
Part of my childhood died, just died.

Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,
And there's a car park where the palais used to stand.
My sister's married and she lives on an estate.
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait.
She knows they get away with things she never could,
But if I asked her I wonder if she would,

Come dancing,
Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
Don't be afraid to come dancing,
It's only natural.

Come dancing,
Just like the palais on a Saturday.
And all her friends will come dancing
Where the big bands used to play.

Nice Guy

In memory of Segamad……….

There is yet another star up there…………

Good on yer mate!

Cheers NG,

He was a keen guitar player so I imagine he's up there guitar duelling with his hero Hendrix (with Sega hogging the solos if I know that showoff)
