John in Basel

John Holloway abandoned Britain some years ago and has since spent his time sitting behind a PO box number in Basel talking swipes at all and sundry from his keyboard.

He first gained notoriety when a handwritten manuscript by Ray Davies came to light. Ray was a bit of a prophet and had penned these lyrics many years ago before being told by his record label that nobody would believe it, so he changed the words a little bit. He took on as much internet notoriety as the Star Wars Kid and the lolcats and 'netters everywhere have been seeking to find the man who inspired these lyrics. We think we've found him.

They seek him here, they seek him there,
He has a none working pair,
It will make him or break him so he's gotta find a pump,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of Sharon.

And when he does, his little rounds,
Of whatever group, is going down,
Trying to cause, a row and split,
But poor old John, can't take a shit,

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He thinks he is a force to be reckoned with,
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight,
He feels a dedicated follower of Sharon.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
Theres one thing that he loves and that is porn vids.
One week he's in the BPP, the next week he's in the NNP.
'cause he's a dedicated follower of Sharon.

They seek him here, they seek him there,
He has a none working pair.
Everywhere the NWN army marches on,
Each one a dedicated follower of Sharon.


Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
His world is built round viagra and yoghurt.
This pleasure-seeking individual always ratea the youtube vids,
'cause he's a dedicated follower of Sharon.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He flits from group to group just like a butterfly.
In matters of politics he is as fickle as can be,
'cause he's a dedicated follower of Sharon.
He's a dedicated follower of Sharon.
He's a dedicated follower of Sharon.

What do you think, folks? Was Ray Davies talking about our man-on-the-spot in Basel?
