Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5

Question: Are the alternate, playground lyrics to "Seasons in the Sun" commonly known, or was it a late-70s Saskatchewan kind of thing?

In case the answer is no, here's what I remember of it:
We had joy, we had fun
Sticking fingers up our bum
But the pain was too strong
Cos our fingers were too long

I don't know those. But back in my hooligan days as a Man United fan we would sing this to Man City fans and others.

We had joy we had fun
We had City on the run
But the fun didn't last
'Cause the bastards ran too fast

Use to sing that in the London Road end of the old Manor ground about Reading

I remember the bastards throwing bricks at us in the South Bank at Elm Park. Then us throwing milk bottles back over the stupid chain fence they used to have at the Oxford in the away end. Friendly times.

I remember back in high school hanging out at a friend's house. A bunch of us slept over but his parents stayed upstairs while we drank loads of beer. We had to get rid of a lot of bottles so we chucked them over the fence into a municipal bus lot. A few days later the bottles were all sent back over the fence into my friend's yard. Which pissed off his old man to no end. He figured some damn teenagers did it. He was half right.

We had joy we had fun
Picking bogies in the sun
But the sun got too hot
And the bogies turned to snot

I saw them live in 1994 and it still might be the loudest show I've ever seen. Great show, however!
