English translation of Catcliffe Shakedown by Pulp
Just come over here and your face we will smash Oh!
Oh god!
Youd better leave town
Before you get caught in the Catcliffe Shakedown
Yeah
Shakedown
Shakedown
Shakedown
Oh no, its not that bad really: Not if youve been living in Bosnia for the
Last year. Homebrew is still big news round these parts - no airing cupboard
Should be without it. They were going to open an airport - can you imagine it?
"Whilst in the area why not stock up on string or try some of our duty-free
Parkin?"Oh yeah. Lets go.
See the rainbow high above the viaduct,
Glowing with all the colours of a bottle of spilt milk
Oh, its so beautiful, but I dont know what it means
Oh, rainbow high above - what exactly are you advertising?
And our idea of sophisticated humour is setting fire to our farts with
Disposable lighters. Why not try our delicious lager-style drink with a chocolate-flavoured candy-covered biscuit? "Look at those buttercups over there
Mummy!"Hold one under your chin."What's butter mummy?"Oh, its just a different make of margarine"
See the rainbow high above the viaduct,
Glowing with all the colours of a bottle of spilt milk
Oh, its so beautiful, but I dont know what it means
Oh, rainbow high above - what exactly are you advertising?
The film now cuts to reveal who is watching this docudrama. A middle class
Couple sit in wonder as the titles roll. "All nicotine stains and beer-bellies
In this programme were real."
But upstairs in his room, amongst the Airfix planes, is a small boy.
He sits in the dark, listening for the sound of the train that crosses the
Viaduct at four oclock every morning. The train that carries the dismembered
Remains, the dismembered remains of Matchstick Men and Matchstick Cats & Dogs,
And its coming, and its coming, coming Oh yeah.
"What you looking at?"
"I dont know - labels fell off"
"I'm going aht"
"Am I so beautiful you cant stop looking at me?"
"Am I so beautiful?"
"You dont scare me"
"I'll take you all on"
"You and whose army?"
"Me - me and my fist-y"
Catcliffe you dont intimidate me, your Parkway and your shopping centre,
Your Panda Pops and pottery, your motorway junction, overwhelming stench of failure. Lives that never left first base, stunted by vapours from the cooling
Towers And I will do everything, everything in my power to get way from you.
