Pare che sia lui sia gli altri componenti del gruppo amassero particolarmente i levrieri, e le corse…
Una loro canzone, registrata nel 1968 e uscita come singolo, parla di una storia d’amore ambientata appunto tra le competizioni dei levrieri.
La canzone raggiunse il 25° posto nella classifica di vendita del Regno Unito, uno dei posti più bassi mai raggiunti dalla band. le recensioni in generale furono negative.
Questa canzone non fu mai registrata in un album, se non in una raccolta del 1987 negli USA, e un’altra del 1990.
Ecco il testo in inglese:
Dogs
The first time we met you were a kennel maid
You gave me a tip, I got me forecast paid
You were holding the greyhound in trap number one
Your white coat was shining in the afternoon sun
Now we’re both together
We’re never gonna break apart, no no
‘Cause we’re a happy couple you and me
With a greyhound at either knee
I’ll have ten shillings to win on Camira Flash, young man
What dog’s that? It’s the Duke’s dog, ennit
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer
Exceptin’ you little darling, exceptin’ you little darling
We’re a happy couple you and me
With a greyhound at either knee
We go to the dog track on Saturday nights
We put all our money on a dog that we like
A kiss and a cuddle an’ hot meat pie
Two dollar tickets and a starry sky
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer
Exceptin’ you little darling, exceptin’ you little darling
We’re a happy couple you and me
With a baby at either knee
Yes it’s you little darling
Yes it’s you little darling
Now it’s you little darling
Now it’s you
Where’s me wage packet? I need it
Ah I’ll put twenty-five knicker please on Yellow Printer
Oh, I hope the wife don’t find out
Yes, it’s sure to win, isn’t it?
Yes, I know, it’s a good dog, I saw it run at White City
Just last week, broke the record, Yellow Printer
Nice dog, yes, lovely form, lovely buttocks
E questa è la traduzione:
