A political body, which is believed to have been dead for at least a decade, has been found in a Bristol council chamber – where council officers had carried on working as usual.
The corpse, believed to be the city’s governing body, was found by council cleaning workers a few days ago after members of the public reported a “vile stench” emanating from the chamber.
Bristol City Council has launched an internal inquiry to establish how the corpse went unnoticed for so long.
the bloody cops are bloody keen
to bloody keep it bloody clean
the bloody chief’s a bloody swine
who bloody draws a bloody line
at bloody fun and bloody games
the bloody kids he bloody blames
are nowehere to be bloody found
anywhere in chicken town
the bloody scene is bloody sad
the bloody news is bloody bad
the bloody weed is bloody turf
the bloody speed is bloody surf
the bloody folks are bloody daft
don’t make me bloody laugh
it bloody hurts to look around
everywhere in chicken town
the bloody train is bloody late
you bloody wait you bloody wait
you’re bloody lost and bloody found
stuck in fucking chicken town
the bloody view is bloody vile
for bloody miles and bloody miles
the bloody babies bloody cry
the bloody flowers bloody die
the bloody food is bloody muck
the bloody drains are bloody fucked
the colour scheme is bloody brown
everywhere in chicken town
the bloody pubs are bloody dull
the bloody clubs are bloody full
of bloody girls and bloody guys
with bloody murder in their eyes
a bloody bloke is bloody stabbed
waiting for a bloody cab
you bloody stay at bloody home
the bloody neighbors bloody moan
keep the bloody racket down
this is bloody chicken town
the bloody train is bloody late
you bloody wait you bloody wait
you’re bloody lost and bloody found
stuck in fucking chicken town
the bloody pies are bloody old
the bloody chips are bloody cold
the bloody beer is bloody flat
the bloody flats have bloody rats
the bloody clocks are bloody wrong
the bloody days are bloody long
it bloody gets you bloody down
evidently chicken town
Thank you. I’m now bloody depressed!
Allow me to finish the job.

I think when John Cooper Clarke wrote Evidently Chickentown it was the fucking cops who were fucking keen, etc.
He recorded two versions, the ‘bloody’ version & the ‘fucking’ one.
