Counselling at the White Heart.

[Bowler]

Now don’t yer go a’ looking backwards
What’s done is done, the die is cast
No good can come of ponderation
It’s over now it’s gorn and past
~
There’s doings out there to be done
No good staring at the wall
Finking things you auter done
That’s no bloody good at all
~
You ad it made with Mary Jane
A luvley canny gel
Yer dumped er for that scrawny malt
Who made life a bloody hell
~
So get a grip and loosen up
And get your arse in gear
The moving fingers bloody rit
Now go and git the beer.


Soap opera’s in the UK always have pub where the men can always get advice on their relationship problems. Nah, not in the pubs I hang out in, if advice was on offer it would go something like the above.

I loved that raw language! Felt I was in that pub and eaves-dropping.
That second last verse really made me laff. ';)

[tonywalt]

love the colloquial language captured and the lyrical feel to it. Is this west country? (i see england in your profile)

[Bowler]

Thanks for reading and sorry, no not West Country but a London accent though its much scaled down.
Much you can read on the net about the London accent is laughable i.e. rhyming slang is probably almost dead now though a few words are still heard but the rhyming word has almost been dropped. Hence—‘Stuff that in yer sky – ‘Put that in your pocket’ comes from Sky Rocket. Rabbit or Rabbiting—usually addressed to a female—incessant talking i.e. nagging from—talk – rabbit and pork. ‘Oh come on leave it out, you’re talking rubbish and so on.
