    Best ever Weller line?

    Stop apologising
    For things you never done

    Oops - should have said favourite. His best line can only be selected by SW, our resident Weller pervert

    Lots of good words in that song.

    Easier to cite verses or part verses "... send you home in a pine overcoat. With a letter to your mum. Saying find enclosed one son - one medal and a note - to say he won."

    or


    Alone at 6 o'clock - you drop a cup -
    You see it smash - inside you crack -
    You can't go on - but you sweep it up -

    Safe at last inside your Private Hell.
    Sanity at last inside your Private Hell.

    Always gets me that.

    The last thing that I saw
    As I lay there on the floor
    Was "Jesus Saves" painted by an atheist nutter
    When I was young and full of rage
    I hated Tottenham to the core
    But now I've reached a gentler age
    I hate the fùckers even more.

    That would have been my third suggestion.

    Also the line starting "Standing on the vortex floor..." but it gets a bit yukky

    Difficult to look past "Eton Rifles", I think.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Oh, good point. I misread

    What a catalyst you turned out to be, fire off your guns and you run off home for

    Fúck sake's Herb, don't generalise. The Jam? TSC? Solo?

    You can't just wade in like a public school plumber and ask for his best line.

    In respect of the original power pop trio from Woking I have always had a soft spot for Saturday’s Kids:

    Saturdays boys live life with insults,
    Drink lots of beer and wait for half time results,

    then again to overlook Tube Station or even snippets of Going Underground seems wrong:

    You choose your leaders and place your trust
    As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
    You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns

    then again there is the 10 minute written snapshot of life that is That’s Entertainment:

    Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
    Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude
    Getting a cab and travelling on buses
    Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs


    We could be here all day.
