This was one of the most underated bands/albums of the sixties. Great song too.

Fantastic band!A pity they only made two records.

@unknownkingdom As others have commented, the introduction is Mick doing his impression of a south ('sarf") London accent. A common stereotype of the inhabitants of that part of England is working class petty criminals (I write as a long-time former resident). Mike's prologue is intended to be humorous. In real life he doesn't sound anything like this -his normal speaking voice is, well, a normal English accent.

Very Very good

[plumeriasj]

you are  right most under rated........

[edrusharry]

@heinzpo yup, your spot on Heinzpo it's "My Sister" and the word porridge is english slang for "prison".

Must say your understanding of english is so much better than my understanding of any other language 8)

I think the enlglish are to lazy with language......................­.....8)

@edrusharry Thanks for the explanation Edrusharry. When you are not familiar with the slang you can understand that most of the times language is not what they taught you in school or language academies.

The song is then sung in proper English, which i like.

@edrusharry I understand something like "Master" or "maister" or whatever..."my maister" that is actually sister beeing pronounced so?

[edrusharry]

@heinzpo yup, he's just sayin that despite his sister is in jail for stealing handbags and a few of his friends being in jail for other dodgy dealings he still likes them despite the fact he's got famous and now has a roll royce, and he still likes the prison guards as well 8) forgot to say it's a south London accent 8)
