I don't know much about him, but Evidently Chickentown is brilliant. And was used in The Sopranos in a great montage scenes.

Depending where he is playing he changes the word bloody to f**king in Evidently Chicken Town.
But he says either word in that song/poem a lot.
He joked his swear box is his pension fund.

Yep, adore this man. Seen him live, he's funnier than some comics I've seen and his poetry is a pleasure to listen to. I Wanna Be Yours is an astonishing achievement.

"I Wanna Be Yours" - Yes, very good as you say.

Found him singing it to music, but this is best I think................... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg_AEE9sdk0

"Your attitudes are platitudes, they make me wanna piss" F**king hell, what a line.

He looks more like Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones than Ronnie Wood does.
