In Penny Lane, there is a barber showing photographs... and they're probably easier to identify than some of the ones below.
Let's take a ferry 'cross the Mersey to hear ten songs about Liverpool and Liverpudlians...
10. They're meek & honest, but very confused.
Muddle up the letters of Meek & Honest and you get...
The Monkees - Alternative Title (Randy Scouse Git)
9. German with a regular beat.
Gerry & The Pacemakers - Ferry Cross The Mersey
8. Bandit chasers.
Smokey was always chasing The Bandit.
7. The headroom is small when you're locked up inside your opium den.
Max Headroom goes Low, with Jackie (where the opium den lyric came from).
Jackie Lomax - Going Back To Liverpool
6. Used for lifting a nun's headdress.
A nun's headdress is a wimple. You might lift it with a winch.
The Wimple Winch - Rumble On Mersey Square South
5. I saw a mouse!
Where?
A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam...
Amsterdam - Does This Train Stop On Merseyside?
4. She'll feed you tea and oranges under a bright star.
Suzanne will feed you tea and oranges. Vega is a very bright star.
3. Used to work in a very cold factory.
He was the gaffer in The Icicle Works.
Or...
2. On sale at the jewellers.
The Bangles - Going Down To Liverpool
1. Big guitar pedal.
The Wah Wah pedal was the one in question...
The Mighty Wah! - Heart as Big as Liverpool
Mersey on back here next Saturday for more Snapshots...
