Divine Comedy have good lyrics, Suede particularly good first 3 albums,Pulp very good lyrics (if a bit perverted sometimes ), The Kinks (Village Geen, Arthur), Elvis Costello (occasionally too clever by half),Gene ,the late Kirsty MacColl,R.E.M., it's a start anyway!

Ronnie will be sadly missed - he made his mark, a great character. The duet with the Pogues on the Irish Rover opened up trad/folk music to me back in 1987 and Ronnie put out a few good solo albums in recent years too especially "The humour is on me now" R.I.P.

If any kind soul has this, could they please upload it?

It's not in Cork anyway, i checked, Virgin said it won't be out 'til next week..

Was the new single released in Ireland today?

You should find a couple of PM's from me in your messages - my full list of tradeable items didn't even fit in the 2 PM's ! Thanks
