I know Mr. Sullivan put lyrics to the instrumental piece known as "Caslen," but, and I don't want to sound egotistical, I have written far better lyrics for "Caslen."
I have improved the song "Inheritance" by adding my guitar; I have created what is now being called the best New Model Army album cover (see the other thread); and now I give you the far better version of "Caslen" lyrics (yes, these lyrics were highly influenced by Justin Sullivan's style of writing, they are just better):
"Caslen" - Nelson/Space
There's a thunder storm coming
I am wired
Riding on the M5 as we pass the moors
Caslen you rise and fall like the ocean waves.
There's a wind and rain and snow storm coming
I am wired
Driving down the A39 as we pass the Bradford chip shop
Caslen you rise and fall like the river banks.
There's a hurricane, whirlwind, stormcloud, blizzard, drought, war coming
I am wired, I am so wired
Walking down the A167(M) as we pass the valleys of Red and Blue
Caslen you rise and fall like Evel Knievel.

I have never directly criticized anyone on the board, ever, since I am of the opinion that we are all here to talk about our favourite band in an informed and occasionally light-hearted way. I do enjoy the banter but not, I repeat NOT, what Space has been doing for some time now.
Space, your current comment shows that you are an arrogant bastard who shouldn't be allowed to say the things that you are saying. Take your delusions of grandeur to another board and leave us honest folks alone (I wonder what the band are making of all this).
Thanks for reading,
Wilf

Hmmm. Are you sure you are aware of what light-hearted means?
You really can't read my lyrics and see them for what they are? I'll help you out...they are a light-hearted way of looking at the band NMA.
Did that really need pointing out for you?
-
(I wonder what the band are making of all this).
Uhh, probably chuckling a bit. Any great artist can laugh at a parody of their work.
-
That genuinely made me laugh.
Affectionate parody isn't an insult.
Kudos, Space, for the use of the words 'chip shop', not an expression I usually hear from US folks... if we ever find ourselves at one of those hallowed institutions, the chips are on me...
-
Cobblers; this is too blatant to be anything more than a pretty un-original wind-up.
-
Perhaps I`m nasty now, but this lyrics seem to fit ;)

In fairness Space. Its tongue in cheek and daft. I get it 😁
-
yes, am sure the poet / artist would agree...not.
it's designed to offend and generate comment, argument.
Personally it's trolling.
Space, give us some, y'know space. Go and troll the kylie board or somet.
we could start a poem about you,
Ahem,
'There was a troller called Space,
who trolls boards rather than face,
Up to the fact he is Mark Steven MK2.
Rotten poetry, very Tom Waits.
Bit like your Caslen lyrics.
Time to find another board to haunt I'm afraid.
-
I am genuinely surprised people are taking offense at this post...
-
oh, and the A39 is the Atlantic Highway that hugs the north west coastline of Cornwall.
I have to concede that one, great choice. The section that takes in Widemouth bay is lovely.
Other than that you're wasting your time, take up knitting maybe >:(
-
master ray, you've obviously ignorant of the HORSEMAN lyrics saga.
-
and MR a as a fan, you may want to be a little choosy with what you refer to as banter / funny.
I 100% do not agree.
-
Texaspete... first off, I think I've said over and over again that I don't want to fall out with anyone of this Forum...
Yes, Space has posted some pretty objectionable stuff in the past... and I was one of four people that he posted some damn offensive stuff at... but he posted an apology and we've had some pretty mellow posts back and forth since then. It's all in the past, IMO. For the record, I have no idea what the 'Horsemen' thing is all about..? Fill me in, perhaps?
This Caslan thing was very amusing in my opinion. You might disagree. Fine.
What I consider 'banter / funny'? Have I posted something really offensive? If so, let me know, I will apologise immediately! I truly want to get along with everyone who posts here on a regular basis! If not... hmmm, I'll post what I like... some folks out there are OK with it. ::)
All the best, Texaspete...

MR you're acquiescing with the bloke who said yo post drivel ...
Maybe Space ain't so bad after all!

'Yo post drivel'...?
English, please, sir.

Excuse,
He said about you that YOU post drivel and their you are cosying up to his pathetic insults.
Almost condoning them ... As Rick said to Neil in the Young Ones ....
'Wheres ya spunk?'

TP, I have no memory of reading those posts... any chance of a cut and paste thing from yourself? Not doubting what you say, but it seems like there are a lot of things being said on this Forum that pass me by... seems like I might be getting blocked here there and everywhere... :-\
I'd appreciate it, mate...
-

No, it didn't pass you by, because it never happened.
A) I called you out for wanting to ban me a bit ago,
B) I called you Master Race because you were advocating getting rid of someone (me) simply because you didn't approve of them
That's all.
Now let's get back to talking about NMA and my lyrics, please.
-
Professional line-walker
Or anagrams of the above
-
Now let's get back to talking about NMA and my lyrics, please.
Okay;
NMA - very good.
Your lyrics - shite.
-
All of this is truly beyond belief. To think yesterday "Red" got an official warning for swearing at "Space", to leave Space to soldier on insulting the band, the lyrics, other forum members, the artwork !!!!!!!!
I truly wish Stoney were still here to reply to Space's bullshit. He got banned for life defending himself against a false accusation from Amandastan I think Stoney would have took Space on and defeated his codswallop better than the rest of us.
-
What is wrong with some of you people?
That guy Red hurls vile and chidish curses at me constantly. Do I do it to him? Of course not. I just ignore him. I'm an adult. Do you really want people here cursing other members?
Others here can't see the obvious love I have for New Model Army. Yes, I really do believe my lyrics are better than Justin Sullivan's, my guitar playing is superior, and my art is better than that of Joolz and should be on the next NMA album cover. That's what some of the folks here believe I feel. Unreal. I find it utterly astonishing that I print these lyrics and some here see it as an insult to the band. Get real. Get a sense of humor. Get a dictionary and look up "playful affectionate parody"
Yet members like Shush feel I "insult the band, the lyrics, other forum members, and the artwork!" Wouldn't you say he has a problem understanding others' posts? I love the band, love the band's lyrics, love the band's artwork, won't insult other members. Happy now, Shush? There I wrote it out for you because you couldn't figure things out unless it is in plain literal English. Subtlety irony, parody, humor...you've demonstarted those literary devices are beyond your grasp.
Won't address this issue or these people anymore. You don't like fun posts of mine, don't read them. Why is that hard for you to do? You clearly are bothered by my sense of humor. Solution: simply don't read my posts. Why in God's name do you do it?
-
Can i issue a plea for peace please.
I'm not taking anyone's side, just worried that the board looks like falling apart with all this infighting.
-
Space, no one is offended by your parody. Nothing wrong with a parody, did one myself last year for "Angry Planet". Some people found it amusing, exactly what it was supposed to be. What people are having problems with is comments like this --
I have improved the song "Inheritance" by adding my guitar; I have created what is now being called the best New Model Army album cover (see the other thread); and now I give you the far better version of "Caslen" lyrics (yes, these lyrics were highly influenced by Justin Sullivan's style of writing, they are just better):
You state as a fact you lyrics are better, you artwork is better, it isn't, it just isn't. I hope that is plain enough for YOU to understand.
-
I'm amazed people haven't seen through this Burke ....
He knows exactly what he's doing and sitting back laughing after dropping the corn..
It's time we ignored his posts full Stop.
We don't need stones to give someone the big E.
It's all the echoes of a Mark Steven who it probably is!
Problem is there aren't enough worthwhile topics anymore for us to concentrate on.
People reading this should go and start one, I'll pay money where my mouth is !
Space let's see if you've got owt worthwhile to offer !
-
I find it funny actually and even more funny that people are reacting this way. I haven't kept up with this forum in two weeks but am now sitting in a hotel room laughing.
-
I truly wish Stoney were still here to reply to Space's bullshit. He got banned for life defending himself against a false accusation from Amandastan I think Stoney would have took Space on and defeated his codswallop better than the rest of us.
That's not even remotley true considering the fact that I am brutally honest. Anyone who knows me would tell you that. I am not going to get in an argument about it either.
-
Well, actually is true, I remember it happening quite well. If you have forgotten the details, fair enough. Send me a P/M, I will remind you. But I agree, not worth an argument, certainly not on here.
-
We are not going back to this conversation. Move on.
-
Maybe we'd all need a meet up and 100 mud cakes?
*ok, me silent* ;)

:-X

100 mud cakes. Great name for a band!!!
-
I've only just read Space's Caslen lyrics, and I must admit, I laughed. It is quite obviously a joke, and he's said so himself in this thread - just like the other one with the album cover artwork. Really not sure why some are taking him so seriously ! I'm with Master Ray and Amandistan on this one. It's mildly amusing, nothing worse than that !
-

'Wheres ya spunk?'
Still waiting or a response explaining exactly HOW Space insulted me..? ???
Here's the timeline, as I understand it.
Space joins the Forum. Things get unpleasant. Space nearly gets banned. He doesn't. He then posts an apology which most of the people who were so nastily insulted accepted. Fine...
After that, we got messages from Space that nobody, in their right mind, could take as 'serious'. Heck, I posted something on another thread that a silly pop band like Bucks Fizz could show NMA a thing or two, or something like that... ::) Anyone think I was actually serious about that?
Maybe I'm being over-sensitive because I got so vitriolic during the unpleasant moments, something I don't like to do... I was called 'worthless' and a 'weakling', but, then again, I repeatedly told Space to '**** off and die'... even stevens? ???
Bottom line... I haven't heard anything truly nasty from Space recently. There may have been something that I haven't seen (and I'd still welcome that, if anyone's got that) but until someones got that proof... it didn't happen . His posts are tongue-in-cheek, IMO.
There is something called the 'ignore' button if you get onto your profile. You could use it on Space.
I suspect that my name might also be 'clicked' on after this post.
-
I'm in agreement with your post ray. I'm as guilty as anyone of jumping in, fair enough i used sarcasm instead of anger to vent my views. A guess i like some other thought here we go again.
I've already made my apologies and will move on
