Story behind the song
This is a humble tribute to the long gone Chip shop over the road from the Jericho Tavern in Oxford, scene of many a FF and the Fs gig/rehearsal/lock-in. Recorded at good ol' Richie Haines'Dungeon Studio. 'Salt'n'Vinegar'heralds those people who are constantly complaining about other people's constant complaining. As Frank Fish pointed out to a complete stranger in the Radcliffe Arms one Friday night, "There's always seventeen people in a party of eighteen who spoil it for the rest of them!"
Lyrics
la la la la la... I was fasting in the desert for 40 days Beneath the cruel sun's burning rays I was thin I needed to get fatter My heart was set on Cod and Chips in batter Oh what a wonderful feeling I minced across the sand dunes wiggling both my hips True happiness for me is eating fish and chips I saw a building on the far horizon so I stopped walking and I started to run I slapped a pound note on the chip shop counter - there was a woman in the queue but I walked round her. "Oi!" She said "Don't you know that I was here first?" I said "If I don't get some fish right now my brain will burst!" Oh what a wonderful feeling... Too much Salt and Vinegar on my dead cod.. throw me a glass of water someone my throat's so dry I need a drink Why did you have to go and sprinkle too much Salt and Vinegar on my dead cod... la la la la...
