What's all that nonsense gibberish at the start about?!
April_Rose
I don't know, I think it was done for some tv xmas special or something? Love the song though!
Em_J
I never pay that much attention to it, I don't think it's played all that often!
This is my fave:
April_Rose
Kate Bush is it? I don't know that one very well! I like it though, she's pretty cool. Weird, but cool .
I love this one too:
Em_J
I love Kate Bush, she's a complete loon!
Oh yeah, I love that one too! I remember when I first heard that one at primary school, loved it since then!
April_Rose
I didn't know it when I was young, it's hubby's fave though so I've heard it a lot, it's good!
Yeah Kate Bush is mental...I love her song Cloudbusting, for bizarre reasons!
Em_J
I love Cloudbusting! A couple of her songs have been remixed and turned into dance tracks lately, I think that's one of them.
April_Rose
Yeah? I didn't know that! I thought that song was about me when I was younger...have you seen the video?
Em_J
I'm just watching it now! Why did you think it was about you?!
April_Rose
See that contraption they have up on the hill? My father made those things tried to change the weather and stuff. Nutter.
Em_J
Weird! You know, I've heard that songs loads of times but I've only just listened to the lyrics now!
April_Rose
Yeah, I used to help him with that stuff when I was really young, so all the Daddy stuff in the song... it's bizarre really! It's amazing I turned out so normal really(!?!)
Em_J
Yeah I was thinking that last night actually (about me turning out normal, not you turning out normal!!), was thinking about Alex and all the compulsive lying stuff... That's my dad! And my uncle. And me when I was at primary school, I grew out of it though!!
April_Rose
Mad! There's a bit of my dad in Rosa certainly...see, that's what I mean about it being cathartic! better us creating characters than turning out like them!
Em_J
Yeah that's true! My uncle told my bro that he was in the Foundations, the band that did Build me up Buttercup!!
April_Rose
You believe stuff when you're a kid, that's the thing! My dad was into all that weird stuff, really thought he was changing the weather....also had a few issues regarding believing he was a reincarnation of Jesus Again, when you're a kid and told something in a matter-of-fact way, you believe it!
Em_J
This was this year that my uncle told my bro that! We hadn't seen him in years, saw him for the first time at my dad's 60th and realised that they were both bloody liars! But we actually liked our uncle though.
The jesus thing's mad!!
April_Rose
This year? yeah, sometimes it's still a nice person, even as a liar...bit like Alex I suppose!
Yeah, we had watched one of those really long films from the 50's, on BBC with no ad breaks, about the life of Jesus, and just as the credits rolled he turned to us and said "You know children, in another life, I was Jesus." Think I was about 6 or 7 at the time. Mental. Literally!
Em_J
That's an ace story to tell people though!
April_Rose
Yeah, it is kind of funny, I do laugh about it now! There was some other stuff he did that wasn't so funny though, so don't tend to talk about him much.
Em_J
Yeah we don't talk about all the crap stuff my dad did. Luckily he's not so much of a twat now he's older, I'll give him that.
April_Rose
I haven't spoken to mine in about six years now, so I've no idea what he's like now!
Em_J
I would've stopped seeing mine when I was about 17 probably, it's only cos my dog lived with him that I still saw him! I don't see him all that often now the dog's gone. That sounds bad doesn't it?!
April_Rose
Not to me! You can't choose your family, but you can choose not to see them, that's the way I see it.
tried to change the weather and stuff. Nutter.
Again, when you're a kid and told something in a matter-of-fact way, you believe it!
