Alternative lyrics

Originally posted by Ahmad Daizli I also heard originally True Faith was supposed to be "now that we've growen up together they all take drugs with me" but Stephen Hague made them change it.

That's right. The "they're all taking drugs with me" lyrics can be heard on the BBC1 live CD, which was recorded before the release of True Faith. I don't know if it's Stephen fucking Hague who made them change the lyrics to something... 'smoother', but obviously the 'official' lyrics are not the original ones...

The Royal Festival HAll gig provided the alternative lyrics for Perfect Kiss, I have the tape

Ive got a cock it looks like the M1 Its long and thin, its got a white line down it It curls about, it curls about Theres crashes on it and service stations too.

Also the same gig threw up these lyrics to Face Up

It wasnt the first time it wasnt the last time it wasnt between your legs i felt u

Great gig, they also did Decades

RFH in 84 was my first NO gig, so I was a bit privileged to hear Decades on a first concert. I vividly remember the variation on Perfect Kiss as well.

Was also at CLP in Dec 85. I think they only did about 40 minutes and no encore, but it was such a great show it didn't matter!

Temptation closing moment:

Bombs from above hit Bin Laden down below Taliban in Afghan you have no place to go.

Tonight I should have stayed at home, playing with my big fat bone...

Actually I always maintained it as reading: "WHEN I WAS A VERY SMALL BOY, VERY SMALL BOYS TORTURED ME, NOW THAT WE'VE THROWN UP TOGETHER, BUY ME ANOTHER PERNOD OR I'LL BREAK YOUR FUCKIN' LEGS!!" Honestly, I didn't imagine this!!

Originally posted by Tim Jauncey Certainly did, but I can remember most of them as and when they happened anyway !Just thought of a classic adlib to True Faith - "when I was a very small boy Michael Jackson played with me, now that we've grown up together he's playing with Jordy C...."Time for the Tube to Brixton !

Originally posted by Taboo # 7 I like the rather incomprehensible comments Barney says at one point on the BBC1 cd, saying something about 'not bad for Salford lads' or something like that. In fact, I could only make "well" and "Salford", so who knows what the hell he was saying!As for Sister Ray, that's my favorite VU track, JD's track has much more in common with the original than NO's (at least with JD they're actually trying to stick close to the lyrics!), but I find Barney's ruminations on the meaning of love to be quite humorous.

"It looks like a British legion in Salford, this."

I had a bootleg of Stoke 1983 where The Village becomes:

Our love is like the earth The sun the trees and the afterbirth

a charming image I'm sure you'll agree

Hello all!

Last Friday, 12th Oct, Barney sang the 'the're all taking drugs with me' version of true faith! And I was there...... (still cannot believe it).
