Think I'll put together "Talking Rochdale Blues" as antidote.

Well I was walkin' down through Deeplish
Jess tryin' to take my baby home.
Oh yes I was walkin' down through Deeplish
A place I used to like to roam.
An' then a car pulled up beside us
An' I knew we weren't alone.

"Hey honey are you doing business?"
I heard a lone voice wail.
He wuz eyein' up my baby.
I guess the guy jess fancied tail.
I said, ”Jess run along now mister-
Or you might find yourself in jail."

He said, "There's no need to git uptight
"I got an ache inside my brain
"If she gits into my Ford Focus
"She jess might help to ease my pain."
Then I turned to see my baby
Run like **** up New Barn Lane.

(Insert guitar riff.)

Well I tell you Honey, Deeplish
Is jess the closest thing to hell.
There's cheap booze an' piles o' dope there
An' other stuff they like to sell.
But I guess me an' my baby
We won't be back there for a spell.

Scope there for a nice bit of 12-bar delta blues JB?

Soundtrack to Rochdale surely? I hum this to myself as I walk down Drake Street currently. (Poetry by John Cooper Clarke)
