Skint Video Reunion gig - Harry Redknapp

In the spirit of artists recreating classic albums live Skint Video will perform their NME single of the week Cops on 45/ Rogues (or at least as much as they can recall) at the Duke in Deptford on May 29th - a return to the scene of their triumphant 1985 gig where the beer ran out but the laughs flowed like the Creek which passes within yards. In deference to the changed times, the show will be at 2pm and suitable for children.

 

Wrote this one ages ago but cannot find the time to record it for youtube - maybe I'll persuade Steve to do it

This one has a kind of Richard Hawley classic Crying Over You type vibe

 

Did you know before that louise met my boy jamie
She was so poor she couldn't afford a second name she
Now appears in photo shoots with just her scanties on
I swear you can see  right through her Portsmouth to her Southampton

Happy Harry from Poplar meet me in the car park far from the CCTV
Don't tell the vatman or the taxman
Nod's as good as a wink to a blind referee (Howard Webb)

I got three gaffes in sandibanks with beaches ever so private
 donkey rides for grandkids on ledley  when he's fit (twice a year)

Instr break

At west ham we used to have great players and great drinkers
And a small club gave england just the three world cup winners

Now the players  don't pass out dribbling after a weekend on the bottle
Cos they can't pass can't dribble and they sure ain't got no bottle


Happy Harry I m well poplar  meet me at services at a layby on the a3
Tell the taxman must be Santa brought it - well how could you see?
Now that's a lot better than George Graham 's defence of his jensen bribery
If you are caught in Japan you commit hari kari
From West Ham Pompey and saints I'm more an Harry cash and carry
