John Cooper Clarke - TWAT (on After Dark, 1982)

[lafleur887]

his accent is great

[Paulrhyslloyd]

Going to see him tomorrow night, really looking forward to it. Legend.

[svecter]

He wouldnt get past the first stanza with that on any f*ing channel these days.

We've been well and f*ing truly neutered by the racially unmentionable TW@S @ the top of the media-politic scum pond.

[isthissuperstition]

fuck he's good.

[97ros97]

Aww, damn. I only have a shortened version. Bloody Brilliant

[CrazieClown1]

awesome

[hippiegirl1968]

it's great, just call it a hunch, but he doesn't like this person(!). It's a different version from the one I know, more to it.

[francissweston]

Amazing!

[poet0thesidhe]

First time I've heard this version, Loving it, one of his albums has it to music can't find it but the bouncy tune and first class put down go together well. I sat in the pub and rattled this off to an ex of mine, when the words fail me there is allways JCC!

[Henrogonzo]

With all the respect for his fans: I didn't like it. It doesn't have neither the raw aggressiveness of punk music lyrics, nor the literary qualities one expects from poetry.

[PimpBrovasTV]

he looks a bit like dylan I think. Absolutely brilliant!

[fireupthequatrobolly]

yay!

[hilary815]

Love it Love it Love it !!!!!!

[MisterSimnock]

@mercilessMarksmen. This poem is about you.

[LittleMissBoosh]

thank you for this...there is certain guy im so gunna say this to...twat..

[ellycat]

These weren't the original words when the record came out. A lot of changes..Genius!!

[mercilessMarksmen]

This shit is fucking stupid. I would of broken his face in 5 different places.

[rjy8960]

@mercilessMarksmen

People with a sense of humour and intelligence find this shit funny.

[mercilessMarksmen]

@rjy8960 Yea you are right this is shit. Peace.

[rjy8960]

@mercilessMarksmen

Yeah, right...whatever :)

[VilhelmAxel]

@rjy8960 I thought I was clever, but its really hard to follow, and when I manage to follow, to find a point in it...

[lvivboi]

@mercilessMarksmen Just by looking at the bad grammar in your ridiculous message, I can tell you're retarded.

[mercilessMarksmen]

@lvivboi Yeah you faggots gotta stick together and defend each other. What the fuck do you care if I'm ripping on this british twat for? HUH What are you? one of his fans?

[lvivboi]

@mercilessMarksmen Surprise, surprise. You're homophobic, too. You're obviously american, and have a problem with us Brits. This man is a genius. You've lived in America all your life, not the inner grasps of a city in Britain, so you have no idea what your talking about. Shut the fuck up, and go listen to Miley fucking Cyrus you concave cretin.

[mercilessMarksmen]

@lvivboi no we just call all brits faggots

[lvivboi]

@mercilessMarksmen How intelligent.

[mercilessMarksmen]

@lvivboi faggot.

[Catalyst2]

@mercilessMarksmen But ' faggot ' doesn't rhyme with ' bat '. Why do you think the poem should be named after you? You could ask John to swap the word ' bat ' with ' maggot ' and then the poem would be dedicated to you.

[mercilessMarksmen]

@Catalyst2 Dude i get it you're a faggot. Idc

[PimpBrovasTV]

@mercilessMarksmen I'm pretty sure he dedicated this song to you. Please come back when you actually know a little bit about British culture and are not so scared for exposure to other people. It's not our fault you don't have this in America. Just go and appreciate some other form of artistry and don't come waving your opposite opinions right in our faces. I believe you are indeed the "faggot".

[davymgaunt]

@mercilessMarksmen We have a word in the UK for your type. "Cunt".

[slitheen]

"Show me any two halfwits...and they're twice as smart as you".

Genius line. He wears a suit very very well too.

[MrSunjester]

so..

[1poopiebritches1]

He's so hot

[ellycat]

Fuckin' brilliant. Punk Poet Laureate! The man's a legend!

[putridsneakers]

Perfect.

[turdonhutton]

stinkalloy complains about 'delivery'.....fuckin arsehole

[brian9999]

Dedicated to FLUFF ! You know who you are ;)

[stinkalloy]

What a terrible delivery of the best punk poem ever!

[mrfudgeyhead]

@stinkalloy

I do miss the chewing before Grimm.

[punx4ever1]

fuckin epic ! ! ! ! !

[rjy8960]

Fucking superb!
