Great Lyrics of John Shuttleworth

[Bob]

I cant go back to savoury now...

 

My wife Mary made a lovely shepherds pie & peas

With carrots and gravy, oh and cabbage as an additional green

I said that looks fantastic love and I tucked in hungrily

My daughter Karen didn’t, something I wish I’d seen

For soon my plate was empty, I said “Mary, is there any more?”

She said “No, love, but its treacle sponge for afters” and I said “phwoar”

I’d had a couple of mouthfuls, when I heard Karen declare

“I can’t eat any more of this shepherds pie mum”

Well it filled me with despair.

(because if I’d known that I wouldn’t have started my sweet)

 

Chorus.

But I can’t go back to savoury now

That shepherd’s pie was stunning

But I’m, halfway through my pudding

I can’t go back to savoury now

My taste buds would go crazy

And I can’t go back to savoury now

(‘caus you can’t can you?)

 

My tummy was in turmoil, I was panicked and confused

And as Karen’s dinner grew colder, so did my sweet

For my pleasure in that treacle sponge was now massively reduced

By the sight of fluffy potato, and glistening meat

Take this plate from me Oh Lord, before I go insane

Should I press on with my afters, or go back to my main?

 

Oh I can’t go back to savoury now

That shepherd’s pie was stunning

But I’m, halfway through my pudding

I can’t go back to savoury now, Oh No

My taste buds would go crazy

And I can’t go back to savoury now

 

I can’t go back, I won’t go back

I’d love to go back but I mustn’t do that

 

I can’t go back, I won’t go back

I’d love to go back obviously, but I mustn’t do that

 

At that moment I heard a sound, a scrape of knife on plate

As I watched Karen’s dinner go in the dog’s dish

My appetite now gone, my pudding suffered the same fate

I can only assume this appalling outcome,

Was God’s wish

 

‘Cause I can’t go back to savoury now

I can’t go back to savoury now

That shepherd’s pie was stunning

But I’m, halfway through my pudding

I can’t go back to savoury now

My taste buds would go crazy

And I can’t go back to savoury now

 

I can’t go back to savoury… now

 

 

there are many more classics, please feel free to add.

Great stuff ! Accompanied by a naff organ i can hear it now.

I was seeing Frank Sidebottom's enormous head when i first read it - getting my jokey northerners mixed up. VG.
