The Top Ten in which Every Loser Wins...
(Check out #3 if you don't believe me.)
10.
Rod Stewart - Three Time Loser
The scary story of Rod's sex life before he became famous...
9.
Fatima Mansions - Only Losers Take the Bus
I'm no loser, I'm a letch!
8.
George Jones - The World's Worst Loser
Whenever you think your life's shitty... put on some George Jones.
7.
Suede - Beautiful Loser
Suede have a new album out... and it's much better than the one this comes from. Still, some great putdowns here...
You belong among the wild flowers
picked at the side of the road,
You belong among the silent hours
and broken telephones,
You belong among the TV screens
with sound turned down again,
You belong where there's CCTV
watching you every day,
See also
Beautiful Losers by Ocean Colour Scene. Also pretty damned good.
6.
Dick Curless - Loser's Cocktail
...direct from the bartender at the Loser's Lounge. My guess is Hoyt Axton wouldn't be allowed in that bar, since
Boozers Are Losers (When Benders Don't End).
5.
The Dears - You and I Are a Gang of Losers
You and I are on the outside
Of all of almost everything
Don't we all feel like that sometimes?
4.
Son of Dork - Ticket Outta Loserville
What do you get when you cross Busted! with Blink 182?
Pinch me, is this real?
I'm on a one way ticket out of Loserville
Now I'm off the social flat line
Things are so good that I'm
Taking down my Star Trek shrine
Much better than you'd expect.
3.
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Even The Losers
Baby even the losers
Get lucky sometimes...
A sentiment shared by Nick 'Wicksy' Berry on his seminal
80s Number One... but honestly, what do you take me for? There's no place for that here. I have to draw the line
somewhere.
2.
Half Man Half Biscuit - Bad Losers on Yahoo Chess
And I'll keep finding a way to shoehorn this into Top Tens until you've all bought a copy.
Ernie Shackleton retreated
Close to the Pole
He didn’t want men dying
To achieve his goal
But did he get a gob on?
No he gave a little grin
Heed this Dennis Bell
When you next sign in
Bad Losers On Yahoo Chess!
1. Beck - Loser
In the time of chimpanzees, Beck was a monkey. If you don't like it... why don't you kill him?
Those were my losers... which is your winner?
