Born Slippy Lyrics


Drive boy dog boy
Dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy
She was a-lipstick boy
She was a-beautiful boy
And tears boy
And all in your inner space boy
You had hands girls boy
And steel boy
You had chemicals boy
I've grown so close to you boy
And you just groan boy
She said come over come over
She smiled at you boy

Drive boy dog boy
Dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy
She was a-lipstick boy
She was a-beautiful boy
And tears boy
And all in your inner space boy
You had hands girls boy
And steel boy
You had chemicals boy
I've grown so close to you boy
And you just groan boy
She said come over come over
She smiled at you boy

Let your feelings slip boy
But never your mask boy
Random blond boy
High density random
Blond boy
Blond country
Blond high density
You are my drug boy
You're real boy
Dog dirty dumb cracking boy
You're getting wet boy
Big big time boy
Acid bears boy
Babes and babes
And babes and babes
And babes
And remembering nothing boy
Do you like my tin horn boy
It gets wet like at Angel
Derailed

You got a velvet mouth
You're so succulent and beautiful
Shimmering and dirty
Wonderful and hot time
On your telephone line
And God and everything
On your telephone
And in walks an angel

Look at me mum
Squatting pissed in the tube hole
At Tottenham Court Road
I just come out of the Ship
Talking to the most blond
I ever met
Shouting lager lager lager lager
Shouting lager lager lager lager
Shouting lager lager lager lager
Shouting lager lager lager
Shouting mega mega
White thing
Mega mega white thing
Mega mega white thing
Mega mega
Shouting lager lager lager lager
Mega mega white thing
Mega mega white thing
So many things to see and do
In the tube hole
The blond going back
To Romford
Mega mega mega going back
To Romford
Hi mum are you having fun
On your way
To a new age tension headache

Born Slippy
  • Writer Karl Hyde was inspired to write the "lager, lager" lyrics after finding himself paralytic at chucking out time at a Soho pub and struggling to catch the last train home to Romford.
  • The song was named after a greyhound named "Born Slippy." The band saw the dog running at Romford race track.
  • In the Guardian newspaper February 24, 2006, Karl Hyde said: "We used to go out drinking in Soho and I ended up in the Ship on Wardour Street. All the lyrics were written on that night. A drunk sees the world in fragments and I wanted to recreate that. I was inspired by Lou Reed's New York album and Sam Shepard's Motel Chronicles. I was into flash photography as well, so I was walking around Soho with a notebook and camera, just observing things. In those days I'd open the book whenever a musical idea inspired me. Rick [Smith] came up with a rhythm and I started singing over it. The vocals were done in one take. When I lost my place, I'd repeat the same line; that's why it goes, 'lager, lager, lager, lager.' The first time we played it live, people raised their lager cans and I was horrified because I was still deep into alcoholism. It was never meant to be a drinking anthem; it was a cry for help. Now I don't mind. Why Born Slippy? It was a greyhound we won money on." (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for all above)
  • The song was featured in 1996 Danny Boyle film Trainspotting, where it could be heard in the final scene. The movie stoked immense public interest in the previously little known track, helping the single peak at #2 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1996. Karl Hyde told Q magazine how the song filtered from club to chart. Said the singer: "The record comes out and it's the biggest selling 12" we've ever had. Then we get the call that some geezer called Danny Boyle wants to put the track in the film version of Trainspotting. Myself and Rick weren't part of a druggy culture, we didn't see the association with our music. So we said no to the request as we didn't like the analogy that we thought was being made. That's the last time we've ever said no Danny Boyle!" He added: "Danny convinced us to go to the edit suite and we realised it was the opposite of glorification. It perfectly put the song back into context. The first time we played it live my heart sank cos loads of people were holding cans of lager aloft. The song was a cry for help. The film redressed the balance, gave the song resonance."
  • Karl Hyde told Uncut, "'Born Slippy' is a map of a journey that starts at the Ship on Wardour Street, goes to Tottenham Court Road tune and gets the late-night train back to Romford."
