Paroles de la chanson Travel Agent: |
Announcer: And now, here is a magnificent recording |
Made in the Wide Valley, of an ordinary travel agents |
Office. |
Note the huge-breasted typist in the |
Background |
Smoketoomuch: Good morning |
Secretary: Oh, good morning. |
(sexily) Uhm, do you want |
To come upstairs? |
Smoketoomuch: Beg your pardon? |
Secretary: (sexily) Do you want to come upstairs? |
(brightly) Oh, or have you come to arrange a holiday? |
Smoketoomuch: Uuh. |
to…to arrange a holiday |
Secretary: Oh, sorry |
Smoketoomuch: What’s all this about coming upstairs? |
Secretary: Oh, nothing, nothing. |
Now, where were you |
Thinking of going? |
Smoketoomuch: India |
Secretary: Ah, one of our adventure holidays |
Smoketoomuch: Yes |
Secretary: Well, you’d better see Mr. Bounder about |
That. |
Uh, Mr. Bounder, this gentleman is interested in |
The «India Overland» |
Bounder: Morning, I’m Bounder of Adventure |
Smoketoomuch: Hello, I’m Smoketoomuch |
Bounder: Well, you’d better cut down a little then |
Smoketoomuch: I’m sorry? |
Bounder: You’d better cut down a little then |
Smoketoomuch: Oh, I see! |
Smoke too much so I’d better |
Cut down a little then! |
Bounder: Yes, ha ha… I expect you get people making |
Jokes about your name all the time, eh? |
Smoketoomuch: No, I never noticed it before |
Bounder: So, you are interested in one of our adventure |
Holidays, are you? |
Smoketoomuch: Yes, I saw your advert in the bolour |
Supplement |
Bounder: The what? |
Smoketoomuch: The bolour supplement |
Bounder: The colour supplement |
Smoketoomuch: Yes, I’m sorry, I can’t say the letter |
Bounder: C? |
Smoketoomuch: Yes, that’s right. |
It’s all due to a |
Trauma I suffered when I was a sboolboy. |
I was attacked |
By a bat |
Bounder: A cat? |
Smoketoomuch: No, a bat |
Bounder: Oh… can you say the letter 'K'? |
Smoketoomuch: Oh, yes. |
Khaki, kind, kettle, Kipling |
Kipper, Kuwait, Keble Bollege Oxford |
Bounder: Yes, yes but why don’t you use the letter 'K' |
Instead of the letter 'C'? |
Smoketoomuch: What, spell bolour with a 'K'? |
Bounder: Yes! |
Smoketoomuch: Kolour! |
Oh, thank you! |
I never thought of that. |
What a silly |
Bunt |
Bounder: Anyway, about the holiday… |
Smoketoomuch: Well, yes, I’ve been on package tours |
Many times, so your advert really bought my eye |
Bounder: Ah good |
Smoketoomuch: Yes, you’re quite right, I’m fed up with |
Being treated like a sheep, I mean what’s the point of |
Going abroad if you’re just another tourist carted |
Round in buses, surrounded by sweaty, mindless oafs |
From Kettering and Boventry… |
Bounder: Absolutel. |
Smoketoomuch: …in their cloth caps and their |
Cardigans and their transistor radios and their 'Sunday |
Mirrors', complaining about the tea, 'Oh they don’t |
Make it properly here do they not like at home' |
Stopping at Majorcan bodegas, selling fish and chips |
And Watney’s Red Barrel and calamares and two veg… |
Bounder: Yes |
Smoketoomuch: …and sitting in their cotton sun frocks |
Squirting Timothy White’s suncream all over their puffy |
Raw swollen purulent flesh… |
Bounder: Yes |
Smoketoomuch: …cos they 'overdid it on the first |
Day'! |
And being herded into endless Hotel Miramars and |
Bellevueses and Bontinentals… |
Bounder: Yes, yes… |
Smoketoomuch: …with their modern international luxury |
Roomettes and draft Red Barrel and swimmingpools… |
Bounder: Yes |
Smoketoomuch: …full of fat German businessmen |
Pretending they’re acrobats, forming pyramids and |
Frightening the children and barging in the queues and |
If you’re not at your table spot on seven you miss the |
Bowl of Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup,… |
Bounder: Shut up |
Smoketoomuch: …the first item on the menu of |
International Cuisine,… |
Bounder: Shut up, please! |
Smoketoomuch: …and every Thursday night the hotel is |
A bloody cabaret in the bar featuring a tiny emaciated |
Dago… |
Bounder: Please, will you shut up |
Smoketoomuch: …with nine-inch hips and some bloated |
Fat tart with her hair Brylcreemed down and a big arse |
Presenting Flamenco for Foreigners |
Bounder: Shut up! |
Smoketoomuch: And adenoidal typists from Birmingham |
With flabby white legs and diarrhoea trying to pick up |
Hairy… |
Bounder: Please. |
Smoketoomuch: …bandy-legged wop waiters called |
Manuel,… |
Bounder: .shut up! |
Smoketoomuch: …and once a week there’s an excursion |
To the local Roman ruins to buy cherryade and melted |
Ice cream… |
Bounder: I can’t bear it! |
Smoketoomuch: …and bleedin' Watney’s Red Barrel, and |
One evening you visit the so-called typical restaurant |
With local colour… |
Bounder: Shaddap! |
Smoketoomuch: …and atmosphere and you sit next to a |
Party of people from Rhyl who keeps singing |
'Torremolinos, Torremolinos', and complaining about the |
Food, 'It's so greasy here isn’t it!' |
and you get |
Cornered by some drunken greengrocer from Luton with an |
Instamatic and Dr Scholl sandals and Tuesday’s 'Daily |
Express' and he drones on and on and on about how Mr |
Smith should be running this country and how many… |
Bounder: Stop it, please |
Smoketoomuch: …languages Enoch Powell can speak and |
Then he throws up all over the Cuba Libres |
Bounder: Will you be quiet please |
Smoketoomuch: And sending tinted postcards of places |
They don’t realise they haven’t even visited, 'to |
All… |
Bounder: Shut up |
Smoketoomuch: …at number 22, weather wonderful… |
Bounder: PLEASE, SHUT UP! |
Smoketoomuch: …our room is marked with an «X». |
Food |
Very greasy but we found a charming… |
Bounder: Take it off! |
TAKE IT OFF! |
Smoketoomuch: …little place hidden away in the back |
Streets, where they serve Watney’s Red Barrel and |
Cheese and onion… |
Bounder: For God’s sake, take it off. |
TAKE IT OFF!!! |
Smoketoomuch: …crisps and the accordionist plays |
«Maybe its because I’m a Londoner"'… |
(Sound of pick-up skating across record) |
