@@randomtransportguyx4397 good luck on your journey, I’m 47 now myself so I’m still riding the escalator up to the sky!

Remember seeing these at Canterbury Uni in about 1991 then at Glastonbury in 1994 ish. They were one of the headliners. It was night and they were firing wet sponge balls out into the crowd. My gf at time got smacked in the face with one of the wet balls! It was dead funny at the time. Well, I thought it funny! 😂
From the black bag skip in the parking lot It's a short bad trip to the candy shop Where the shrimps sell smack to the jelly snakes And the kids buy crack in their morning break And the grass grows bluer on the other side Where the old girls queue for their Mothers Pride For a slice of life it's a bargain sale The price is right but the bread is stale From the high rise priest of the office blocks To a five year lease on a cardboard box From the Old Queens Head to the Burger King In my '57 Chevvy made from baked bean tins And when I drive that heap down the road You can hear the cheap car stereo Volume knob turned down low And rubbish on the radio From John O'Groats to Elmer's End With busted lights and dodgy plates Scrawled with a ball point pen R U B B I S H I'm underage and uninsured On the High Road to Domestos Chloraflouracarbon Lord Asbestos lead asbestos And when I drive that heap down the road You can hear the cheap car stereo Volume knob turned down low And rubbish on the radio From John O'Groats to Elmer's End With busted lights and dodgy plates Scrawled with a ball point pen R U B B I S H I'm underage and uninsured On the High Road to Domestos Chloraflouracarbon Lord Asbestos lead asbestos I'll meet you down by the litter bins Stretch my pins and feed my face Wait there 'til my ship comes in Loaded down with toxic waste I'm going now to meet my maker Ignition, clutch, accelerator Mirror, signal and manoeuvre GLORY, GLORY, GLORY HALLELUJAH!

Their lyrics were so good but way too low in the mix. Such incredible songs that haven't aged nearly as well as they should have. If the original masters are still out there someone should remix them and put the vocals upfront where they belong.
12 years old. Brand new, cherry red docs, Carter USM emblazoned sweater. My bold attempt to find anti-mainstream, group identity via the skater kids and grammar school deep-fakes. 46. I still vividly recall, Mr Smugerroo, chip on shoulder, shortman alpha (only got his hard rep because, relative to the grammar school fops, who looked up to him, mandem was rough as...plus....he was genuinely the best in the area on his skateboard. He commented ' Carter the unstoppable Sex Machine?' The cunty sneer cut deep. Mandem was cynical, arrogant, insecure.
Decent fella, but catty bitch! Belittle the nervous 12 yearold misfit. Apparently ,he's a philosophy lecturer now....I'd love to hassle him out of his intellectual certainty
A criminally underrated band, their lyrics are up there with the very best 👌
understatement of the millennium!!!!!
Intangible, immortal, special.
Why is no one remembering this great band I'm 16 and my dad introduced me to carter last year best bloody thing to happen in music terms
Get yourself to a Jimbob gig, does his solo stuff, also plenty of Carter material, with full band.......
@@brianwoods2395 saw him in Manchester on Friday. It was epic
@@randomtransportguyx4397 Brilliant, and kudos to your cool dad
Some of us grew up thinking 30 Something was the best album ever made, and still do
I have listened to loads of different music over my 45 years but these guys will always be the GOAT in my mind...
"The punk Pet Shop Boys".
Loved carter since 1991.
Agree Stephen one of the best bands ever been rocking them too since 91
Boy this band has written some awesome lyrics over the years.
Carter usm defined my youth 90''s, crazy times ,🤯😈, seems 2mins ago,LONG LIVE U.S.M🤩
Brilliant. One of my favourite bands ever 👍👏👌
This is where my journey began with Carter, 16 years old and no clue what to do with life. Best times a kid could ask for!
They were the first live band I ever saw too: aged 16, Jenks Bar, Blackpool, great memories! 😃🎸🎸🎸
I'm 16 now and these are some of the best out there

Siiiiiiiiiiiiick band!!!
On the high road to Domestos. Brill...
Great lines but sad in a way!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
such clever lyrics so underrated
Name another song with "chlorofluorocarbon" in it
What do you think of the program so far?
Anybody done a cover for this?
Top tune
From the black bag skip in the parking lot
It's a short bad trip to the candy shop
Where the shrimps sell smack to the jelly snakes
And the kids buy crack in their morning break
And the grass grows bluer on the other side
Where the old girls queue for their Mothers Pride
For a slice of life it's a bargain sale
The price is right but the bread is stale
From the high rise priest of the office blocks
To a five year lease on a cardboard box
From the Old Queens Head to the Burger King
In my '57 Chevvy made from baked bean tins
And when I drive that heap down the road
You can hear the cheap car stereo
Volume knob turned down low
And rubbish on the radio
From John O'Groats to Elmer's End
With busted lights and dodgy plates
Scrawled with a ball point pen
R U B B I S H
I'm underage and uninsured
On the High Road to Domestos
Chloraflouracarbon Lord
Asbestos lead asbestos
And when I drive that heap down the road
You can hear the cheap car stereo
Volume knob turned down low
And rubbish on the radio
From John O'Groats to Elmer's End
With busted lights and dodgy plates
Scrawled with a ball point pen
R U B B I S H
I'm underage and uninsured
On the High Road to Domestos
Chloraflouracarbon Lord
Asbestos lead asbestos
I'll meet you down by the litter bins
Stretch my pins and feed my face
Wait there 'til my ship comes in
Loaded down with toxic waste
I'm going now to meet my maker
Ignition, clutch, accelerator
Mirror, signal and manoeuvre
GLORY, GLORY, GLORY HALLELUJAH!
And when I drive that heap down the road
You can hear the cheap car stereo
Volume knob turned down low

Bitch is more of a needy tribe limpit than me.....I wonder if he'd take it
i can see so much of the fall in this band very anti
strange, i thought i knew all their hits but this one didn't seem familiar. except for the asbestos line. good stuff though!
