[kj] The Raven by The Stranglers

[Brendan Quinn]

I suppose what I mean by it is that karate practitioners can’t fight…

Isn't saying that karate practitioners can't grapple is a bit like swimmers can't drive?

Most karate guys can’t grapple for shit, 6 months of jiu jitsu would be better than 6 years of karate…IMHO.

Burnel has some sort of Japanese qualification thingy. Went and lived in mountains, worrying goats or suchlike which means he has achieved a higher level

Of karateness.

JJ. 

 

Black belt. 7th Dan karate and about 30% bigger than Paul. 

 

But Paul could beat Jet Black though.  ;-)

Great track (and lots of Stranglers fans on the list).

 

Who'd have won a fight between JJ and Big Paul?

This track reminded me of departed hero Paul Raven and KJ. The Stranglers were also making trips to Iceland and getting into Norse mythology at the time.
 
"Fly straight with perfection
Find me a new direction
You never realised the things they said
We'll never realise until we're dead
 
The fires they burned along the coast of triumphs
The ebony embittered souls of children
We'll seek another way before too long
But will you stop my wind before I'm gone
 
And when you find me all alone
Your world has never been my own
 
And when you find me
And when you find me all alone
Your world has never been my own
 
My friend you're black and when you fly you're wild
I am white sometimes I behave like a child
The Northern Seas are cold but they're our own
We'll sail your southern seas before too long
 
When I was a Viking
My friend he was the Raven"
