Get On Your Cock's is about to become Shuttlecock's worst charting single in the UK since Two Rackets Bat As One. Here's to hoping this means demand will be lower for their concerts :wink:

I think Cock n' Boots is one of the better songs on the album, which says a lot. To think how many times I read it described as the worst song on the album, seems pretty funny to me now. Stand Up is...I won't even go there yet.

"...songs like Get On Your Boots and Stand Up Comedy (both of which pack some in-your-face Zep-like guitar crunch that don't sound out of place) deliver yet more cock-punch chapters to the continuing story."

Stand Up delivers a "cock punch" all right.

Sort of like what you'd like to do to Chris Martin.
 
I don't remember who penned the lyrics to White as Talcum, but that was some seriously good shit.

"Now this dry court it bears no lines at all
Only racquets weep under the tattered net
The court refuses players
The birds don't scrape the sky
Where might we find the match white as talcum"

I'm sure there are badminton players from humble origins that would weep at these words.

The lyrics to all of NNOTH are linked from the discography page.
 
Cool, here's a new entry. Not one of Boner's better efforts, but since his original lyrics were stolen we can only wonder what might have been:

GLORY HOLE

I try to swing this racquet
I...I try to man up
But I can't move my feet
I try, I try to hit up
But only at net I'm complete

Glory hole...into, cock I place
Glory hole...execute
Glory hole...Glory hole
Oh cock, loosen my lips

I try to place this bird
I...I try to get it in
But I can't find the spot
The square is open
You're standing there
You let it drop

Glory hole...into, cock I place
Glory hole...execute
Oh ref, if I missed anything
Anything at all
I'd admit it to you
I'd admit it to you

Glory hole...Glory hole...
 
I've got to gather up everything written so far and start lyric pages for the other albums. I think lyrics were written for Cocktober's title track at some point.
 
Cocktober
And the courts are stripped bare
Of all the players
What do I care?

Cocktober
And racquets rise
And racquets fall
But you play on

Those were Laz's lyrics. Added to the site.
 
Folks, there are some Shuttlecock songs that truly stand above the others. We call them classics.

From The Unforgettable Liar....

BAD(MINTON)

If you twist and swing away
If you tear your shorts in two again
If you could (yes it's wide)
If you could (it's wide)
Let it go
Serve better
Relocate

If I could throw this
Lifeless racquet to the wind
Leave this court of clay
See you play, play away
Into the night
And through the game
Up to the set-point
And through the match

If I could through myself
Set your shuttle free
I'd lead your cock away
See you break, break a serve
Hit to the right
And to the back

Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...

To let it go! And so to play away
To let it go!
And so play away
I'm wide again
I'm wide again
Wide again
I'm not swinging, oh no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you why I would play
Team colors fly in blue and black
Blue nylon cock and burning net
Racquets crash, collide in well made shots

Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...

If you could (you know it's wide)
If you could (it's wide)
Let it go

This competition
Bad location
Hesitation
Perspiration
Reputation
Elimination
Agitation
Dehydration

Let it go
And so play away
To let it go, oh yeah
And so play away
To let it go, oh No
And so to play away
I'm wide again
I'm wide again
Wide again
I'm not swinging oh no no

The riff is a little generic, and the "soul rockin' people" bit is embarrassing, but I think it has a great hook and I like its quirky song structure. Not my favorite, but still really good.

Pfan, for some reason, track 4 comes before track 3 on the NNOTH lyrics page. Just a heads up.
 
Hey, thanks for the heads up. I had a couple problems with that page, a bunch got shuffled up at one point, and I thought I had fixed it all. Good call.

Lyrics pages are up for Cocktober, TUL, and NNOTH, though only No Net is remotely complete.
 
So did you guys split from the Superthread? I missed all this stuff.



































Also, cocks.
 
:wave:

This is where the sane people decided to talk about U2. But we kept it in code. So it's badminton and cock talk. Oh, and occasional chatter about U2.

... I should say, when the idea first came about, we were the sane ones. Now, I'm not so sure.
 
Holy fuck, it's Canadiens.

This is Shuttlecock, the Everything You Know Is Wrong forum for Bang & Clatter regulars. Essentially, discussion of this site's band without crazies.

Did you get No Net v2 yet?

Also, there are other completed songs that are somewhere back in the old threads. Shuttling to Stand Still, Where the Cocks Have No Name, Miracle Cock, Love is Badminton, etc.

I'll try to find them.
 
And to think I was once banned from a Desert Island game for including a picture of R2-D2 with a dildo attachment.

The time for the cock meme has come.

Get the track? Yeah, I've had it.
