Can anyone find a better pop song lyric than this?
I play postal chess with a man who doesn't know me
I got a better frown than Tony Iommi
The song is called 4AD3DCD by Half Man Half Biscuit. Means nothing to me, although obviously I have heard of Tony Iommi!

Re: Pop Song Lyrics
Half Man Half Biscuit are wonderful, I saw them live several times fifteen and more years ago.
A recent song of theirs is called "Bad losers at Yahoo Chess":
Checkmate!
Dennis Bell of Torquay
Too late
With your Nxe3
Good game sir
Do you want another bout?
Well Dennis ain’t replying
‘cos he just signed out
Bad losers on Yahoo Chess
Bad losers on Yahoo Chess
Bad losers on Yahoo Chess
Bad losers
On Yahoo Chess
Deep Blue
In ’97 I voted for you
As Sports Personality of the Year
I thought at least
You’d get the Overseas
‘cos when all’s said and done
You’re not like some of these
Bad losers on Yahoo Chess
Bad losers on Yahoo Chess
Bad losers on Yahoo Chess
Bad losers
On Yahoo Chess
Cetshwayo got a shock
When he attacked Rorke’s Drift
But he didn’t get stroppy
And he didn’t get miffed
Ernie Shackleton retreated
Close to the Pole
He didn’t want men dying
To achieve his goal
But did he get a gob on?
No he gave a little grin
Heed this Dennis Bell
When you next sign in
Bad Losers On Yahoo Chess
Bad Losers On Yahoo Chess
Bad Losers On Yahoo Chess

I wonder if Dennis Bell of Torquay reads this forum?

Chess is a record label, of course, but named after the Chess brothers, rather than the game.

Re: Pop Song Lyrics
Don't know who Tony Iommi is, but Half Man Half Biscuit have been mentioned here before (quite recently I think)
"There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets", from 'National Shite Day'. Cracking band, classic lyrics
First thing I remember hearing from them was "All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague away kit". (Quite fancied one myself but all my Czech mates are Sparta fans!)
Edit: Just googled Tony Iommi - as a drummer in a punk/metal band myself, I really ought to have known who he is
