Cover art for Shit Arm, Bad Tattoo lyrics by Half Man Half Biscuit

Its about the Libertines - and how they are Shybo! The shit arm, bad tattoo is taken from the cover for their 2nd album, which has pete n carl showing their Libertines tattoos on their arms.

The book of relevation part refers to The Libertines' What A Waster single - offending lyrics are "When she wakes up in the morning, she writes down all her dreams, reads like the Book of Revelations, or the Beano or the unabridged Ulysses.".

Great song!!
