Quotes by John Cooper Clarke (?)

“As they used to say on Stingray: 'Anything can happen in the next half-hour'. I've always tried to live with that thought in mind.”

“Two ugly sisters from Fordham
Took a walk one day out of boredom
On the way back
A sex maniac
Jumped out of a bush and ignored 'em.”
