Half Man Half Biscuit - Them's The Vagaries

[bradford66]

A good music video is anything with Half Man Half Biscuit's music playing!!

[pablodiablo1974]

When I'm in a big famous rock band, I want that guy who does the Half Man Half Biscuit videos to do all our stuff.

There again*

Monkey bastard hands!

[waybexxx]

It's aviaries... the line before is: "You point to finches in my yard and you ask:

What’s them things there?" Birds being kept in an aviary you see.

There could well be auguries in there too somewhere... but I can't hear it, and neither can the HMHB Lyrics Project site.

Whichever/whatever it's a great song. But there it's HMHB, their songs always are.

[halfarsed]

Aviaries on lines 1 and 2. Auguries on 3 and 4. Everyone wins. Seriously it is.

[pvcsister]

Perfect picture for pain there! Good work

[ammypam]

A good music video doesn't just show pictures of the words.

[STUARTSt321]

@ammypam Who said it was a good video?

[tomdissonance]

@ammypam don't see why not.

[mostmagicalcat]

Squid yes! Not so octopus.....Such a great line

[flamingwix]

Simply put,

Thank you.

[amococadiz]

Could be ...Fletchers...Hovis..Warburto­ns...thems the bakeries

[CouncilHouseTetley]

nice bit o' work on the vid there squire, ;-{)>

[Rich27014]

"Bin Men, Bin Men, Lexicographers" lyrics of genius that you'd never hear anywhere else. Top job on the video......

[ty3165]

great band

[billydai]

I love this song =]. Makes me laugh every time I hear it

[MickeyLove01]

strange, it makes me wince, but I think it's the very, very, very poor sound they achieve

[billydai]

Well thats your opinion. Though Im quite intrigued as to how you found such an obscure video without actually wanting to listen to it.

[MickeyLove01]

Unlike some people I don't "plan" what I listen to or watch. I will view anything on the spur of the moment, however HMHB have been around years and I was curious to see whether they'd learned anything about sound quality. They had not.

[GAC456]

You can't judge a bands sound quality from a youtube video cause its impossible to upload a good quality music file try downloading a M4A version and listining to it over good speakers before making a judgement

[MickeyLove01]

I buy all my music and download nothing. I have heard this band many times and seen them live. This is one of their better songs.

[Sera696969]

99.9% sure it should be "them's the auguries" at the end. Still a great vid, tho. Thanks 4 sharing :o)

[STUARTSt321]

Yeah, I know. Easier to find picturs of aviaries though.

[Sera696969]

Ha ha! Fair enough! :o)

@STUARTSt321

I think you're right, mate - it is "aviaries". Check out 'The Half Man Half Biscuit Lyrics Project' chrisrand[dot]com[slash]hmhb <-- Brilliant site.

Love the vid too, btw. I LOL'd. :)

[DrChalkwithering]

@STUARTSt321 I think that logic is in keeping with the spirit of HMHB

[jimmyrimmer82]

@STUARTSt321

It's definitely "Aviaries"

[setantae]

Definitely aviaries.

[daryl1q1]

Only Nigel could get away with changing the last chorus to 'them's the aviaries', like he can get away with rhyming 'youth' with 'south' in '2 cheverons apart' and 'Marks & Spencers'and 'Lech Walesa' in 'Reflections in a flat'. Just a great band, thanks for video

[whispchampion]

Squid, yes. Not so, octopus!

[STUARTSt321]

Cheers

[VALLEYOFGWANGI]

By the way , Great vid, i'm in the process of doin' a new'en me self. Keep em peeled.

[VALLEYOFGWANGI]

James Blunt rhymes with front bottom - nice one
