Etienne, Sophie, Julie & Jazmina, Ladies

Good to pull
Good to pull
 
Ooh, Bon à Tirer, Bon à Tirer
Ooh, Bon à Tirer, bo-Bon à Tirer

Good to pull
Want it like this
Good to pull
Get it like this
 
Ow! Rollin'!
Press Gangster here
P, P, P, P P Press Gangster here
P-P-P-P, P Press Gangster here
Press Gangster, Press Gangster, Press Gangster here
Press Gang-sters  Press Gangster here
 
Now, now, now, wait a minute y'all
This ain't no place for premature editions
Only the good to go
So all you print mothers, get your press into gear
Yeah, good to pull

 
Press Gangsters here, we’re stopping the press
Don’t want no second best
Sort out your etches and grooves, you gotta pass the test
C’mon, we’re takin it slow till you show
You’ve met the standards of the artist and you’re good to go
 
Now proof it
Bon à Tirer
Yeah, B.A.T.
Bon à Tirer French for good to pull
Bon à Tirer  lookin’ good
Bon à Tirer  It’s lookin’ real good
Ow!
Lookin’ good
Ooh, Bon à Tirer, Bon à Tirer
Ooh, Bon à Tirer, ba-Bon à Tirer

 
Yo, yo, yo, yo, printing tech
Yeah, you! Ease up on the resist
If you aint feeling the French, there's RTP on the list
It stands for Ready to Print, Still means that it’s looking good
Now print it
Cause it’s lookin’ good
It's looking real good
 
Get it like this
Want it like this
Print it like this
Print it!
 
Oi! Enough of all this proofin’
I’m good to go
Let’s get those presses rolling

Bon à Tirer
Bon à Tirer
Bon à Tirer
Ba-Bon à Tirer

 
Oi! Enough of all this proofin’
I’m good to go
Get my edition flowin’

Bon à Tirer
Bon à Tirer
Bon à Tirer
Ba-Bon à Tirer

 
Ah
P-P-P-Pull it, Pull it
Pull it
P-P-P-Pull it, Pull it
Pull it


Hurby Azor & Ray Davies (for Salt 'N' Pepa), Push it, 1987

Don’t know which way the cards will fall
Rolling up, in black
Or wiping it back?
 
Can’t figure out which way to go
Relief prints or intaglio?
 
Gamblin? Graphic Chemicals?
Cranfield? Charbonelle? Speedball?
Water-based or oil-based?
Oil-based or water-based?
 
Can’t figure out which way to go
Multi-plate or monochrome?
 
I can’t decide which end I prefer
The scraper or the burnisher?
 
Positive or negative?
Negative or positive?
Schminke? Caligo? Speedball?
Derivan? Graphic Chemicals?
 
Don’t know which way the cards will fall
Rolling up, in black
Or wiping it back?
 
I can’t decide which end I prefer
The scraper or the burnisher?
 
Cranfield? Graphic Chemicals?
Gamblin? Charbonelle? Speedball?
Water-based or oil-based?
Oil-based or water-based?

The Breeders, Cannonball, 1993

Corridors of Art School*

21/9/2023

*Concept by Martin King

Playin' cool
Wanna rule, the
Corridors of Art School
Come the day I’ve found my way
Down the corridors of Art School

I fell in love on Open Day
                                                            Mind-blowing displays
The presses took my breath away
                                                            Bright shiny Enjays
The inks are calling. Must obey!
                                                            Why stand in their way?
Yeah, sign me up for my BA

Got my tool
Gonna roulette 
Corridors of Art School
Rockin' plates this sunny day
Down the corridors of Art School

Which print elective? Cannot choose
                                                                                   Don't know what to do
So many presses yet to use
                                                                                   Don't know what to choose
I’m sorry, can’t come out to play
                                                                                   Don't party 'till two
Got four assignments due today
 
Outa time and
Low on fuel
Corridors of Art School
Anybody seen my etching tool?
Down the corridors of Art School
 
Can’t hit the town
(Don’t hit the town)
I'm on hard ground
(You're on hard ground)
Bum up, head down
(Bum up, head down)
 
‘Nother essay
Overdue
Corridors of Art School
Gone and lost my etching tool
Down the corridors of Art School

Playin' cool
Wanna rule, the
Corridors of Art School
Makin’ waves in the talent pool
Down the corridors of Art School
 
Grant McLennan (Go Betweens), Streets of Your Town, 1988
