John Cooper Clarke - Things Are Gonna Get Worse (live)

[G0IFI]

After all these years he still leaves me smiling so much my face hurts and shaking my head in disbelief that anyone could arrange words as brilliantly as this. Thanks for posting these.

This should have been broadcast on every channel of British TV on the 1st of April 2011

[Bassboom26]

This is the U.K`s greatest poet.

[iainwish]

This could be the BBC breakfast news evey morning - they pick the shittest news from across the World then put thie negative slant on it! Things are going to get worse nurse!

[moosey62]

How is that Clarkeh makes you feel better for hearing anything he does?

[DoWhatYouLove1]

JCC is the best poet on the globe, check out a similar Australian genre (not copy) Allan Dumbleton. Let me know what you think.

[molloyzer1]

BRILLIANT!

[AnnArckey]

... 'e tells it like it is.

[axxmassacre]

im sorry, but that hair, on a northern lad, with that lyrical skill, makes the man a legend :)

[NHLinden]

i think eminem and this dude should meet up some time.

[alistairproductions]

[sinseer100]

It's not about MES/ JCC their both fucking great so stop your fucking mythering!

[EllyMcCormack]

The man fucking rocks

[greenegage]

He missed out ...

Things are gonna get worse nurse

I ain't optimistic

I've got a mouth like a purse nurse

and a bungalow smelling of piss and biscuits

[Rawlinson18]

LOL.

[SPERANZA65]

this is NOTHING to do with fighting between MES and JCC... so what if MES supports City?...SO DO I, for 43 yrs. MES has always been pissed but these guys..BOTH are genius..and long may they live.

[vegetubleman]

Great! When he came to Leicester, the m.c. introduced him saying he'd been supporting the Fall a lot recently. 'I've been supporting the Fall for most of my life' retorts John, quick as you like!

[SmartPatrol1906]

Mark E. would kick his ass

no offense to JCC

[spadge321]

Mark E could'nt kick any arse ,, he's fucked ,, and i mean fucked,, JCC is a much better writer,, more charisma,, i love the FALL but they have shot their load,, way back,,, plus he supports City,, thats the worse thing,,

[SmartPatrol1906]

lets agree to disagree?

Both of em are awesome lets leave it at that.
