Why do people give a crap about a damn royal baby and stuff

[HoyaSaxa03]

Take down the Union Jack
It clashes with the sunset
And put it in the attic with the emperors old clothes
When did it fall apart?
Sometime in the eighties
When the great and the good gave way
To the greedy and the mean

Britain isn't cool, you know
It's really not that great
It's not a proper country
It doesn't even have a patron saint
It's just an economic union
That's past its sell-by date

Take down the Union Jack
It clashes with the sunset
And ask our Scottish neighbors
If independence looks any good
'Cause they just might understand
How to take an abstract notion of personal identity
And turn it into nationhood

Is this the 19th Century
That I'm watching on TV
The dear old queen of England
Handing out those MBEs
Member of the British Empire
That doesn't sound too good to me
Gilbert and George are taking the piss aren't they
Gilbert and George are taking the piss
What could be more British than is a picture of me bum
Gilbert and George are taking the piss

Take down the Union Jack
It clashes with the sunset
And pile up all those history books but don't throw them away
They just might have some clues about what it really means
To be an Anglo hyphen Saxon in England dot Co dot you-K
To be an Anglo hyphen Saxon in England dot Co dot you-K

So with Morrissey on this one.


Abolish this bullshit already.

Agreed.  One more royal sucking on the people's tit.

I could care LESS.

[Relaxer]

Have they released the name? I'm hoping for 'Randy'.

[grateful]

I was kinda hoping for Titan.  Seems royal enough, and just a tip of the hat to the corpse flower (titan arum) that appeared on the same day.

[Relaxer]

And it also vaguely pays homage to The Royal Bosom

[i am gay and i like cats]

maybe because it is two people having a baby, and it will change their lives forever and now they have to put up with all the shit that having one of those things will do to you . . . and people like to know that others are suffering just as they do.  also, its on television.  people watch television.

[Relaxer]

Hey man, I had two of those damn things and no one's putting me on a stamp.

[Relaxer]

As in, I literally gave birth. Out of my womb. And now, if I can just find the sports page, I'll go do it again while listening to the new Pet Shop Boys album.

Morrissey is almost as douchey as the royal family. Maybe even more so.

You "hero worship" Mick and Keith more than the average person hero worships Will and Kate.

[vansmack]

(1) I was really hoping the baby would come out black.

(2) If you're England, nobody else in the world would be talking about you this week if it weren't for this.  And that's why it survives.

[James Ford]

I'll clarify my point. You're the 40 year old guy who collects autographs from musicians. Get my point now?

Morrissey eats the hero worship up as much as the royals do.
