Lyrics
Long ago in London town
a man called Ant sat deeply sighing
he was wondering
which side of the fence he was on
prick up your ears...
time went by and soon
the one was five young hombres
burning fire
they were in no doubt
which side of the fence they were on
prick up your ears (mag-nificent five)...
he who writes in blood
doesn't want to be read
he must be learned by heart
he's got to be learned by heart
they believed in sex and looking good
with their own brand of music
they weren't pandering
so which side of the fence
are you on?

Hard to believe this song is 40 years old, YET, it still pumps! One of my favorite Ant songs!!!

[@OneHalfOfBent]

Will do in 80 years time too! X

[@FGP_Pro]

Marco brought those huge eternal riffs with him. He doesn't get enough credit.

[@Kelly14UK]

Marco is an incredibly bad assed guitarist. Vive Le Rock for example.

[@beverlybrooks2736]

Absolutely f*****g MAGNIFICENT indeed, Marco was

[@Anglo_Saxon1]

Still know all the words! Just surprised myself as i haven't listened to this tune for about 30 years.

[@BarekHalfhand]

I didn't get into AA until Friend or foe... I'm having a great time discovering old Ant...

[@camarossdriver]

Marco just makes this song sound MEAN! (in a good way.)

[@Kelly14UK]

Song is unique soundwise plus the Joe Orton ref.

[@kevinedw2002]

“Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his blood. Write with blood, and you will find that blood is spirit… He that writes with blood and proverbs does not want to be read, but learned by heart. In the mountains the shortest way is from peak to peak, but for that route you must have long legs. Proverbs should be peaks, and those spoken to should be big and tall.” - Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

[@MicheleBohmke]

that quote adds depth to one of my favorite Ant songs, thank you.

[@Anglo_Saxon1]

What's the point in writing then if he doesn't want to be read?- just a thought.🤔

[@kevinedw2002]

@@Anglo_Saxon1 According to this blog on Philosophy Stack Exchange: " Blood is life. If you write your message with your blood, you are writing it with your life. That means you are ready to sacrifice your life for your message ...and you are living your message. Nietzsche was more of a poet than philosopher, especially classical German philosopher who was "reader" i.e. scholar (often professor) . Think Kant above all others. Those kind of philosophers did create seemingly wondrous works, but those works didn't influence their life and their philosophy remained scholastic."

[@richardwellend3806]

Bceause he saying he doesnt want to be just read but learned by heart​@Anglo_Saxon1

[@TheSouthernfried45]

A fucking rock n roll masterpiece

WOW REALLY 👌 👏 😍 👍 🥰 ☺ 👌 👏 😍 👍 🥰 ☺!COOL😎 😍 😜 ❤ 😀 💕 💖 !

[@dantofthegenxfamily9529]

This album is definitely a very Original, though most of the songs written and sung by Brit with songs inspired by Tex Mex, Spaghetti Western,(borrowed from American Western) , Disco, Disney's Pirates of the Carribean, with all the HI Ho's, and manly Ahhs,, American Sci Fi, a bit of Rockabillyisque Bass Rythym. This is the best ode to Americana by a British band ever. An American trying to pull this off as a follow up album would have come off contrived. One of Brittain's most Original Bands.. Something about this with all the hollering in the back up vocal reminds me of a couple of 60s songs, Double Shot of my baby's love,, and a particular song of which the title escapes me The chorus is ' If you want to be Happy for the rest of your. Life , never make a pretty woman your wife, and from. My persoal point of view, get am ugly girl to marry you.

[@gallows565]

This was way before Pirates of the Carribean, so you can count that one out lol

[@virusfan1607]

Pirates of the Carribean! lol

[@Anglo_Saxon1]

P.o.t.C ?? As well as being excellent musicians,they must also have mastered the art of time travel,in order to receive their inspration from Pirates of the Carribean.😅

[@LinekeLijn]
