Great lyrics.

'That's entertainment' by the Jam

'Reading the graffitti about slashed seat affiars'

[RedKing]

Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind.

They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy,
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.

This morning I woke with this in my head:

I'm moving on alone over ground that no one owns
Past statues that atone for my sins

Tom Petty, Saving Grace

[Deep Black]

Gotta be Brain Dance by Annihilator:


I dropped out of the rat race
I just needed a break from it all
And now I live in the country
With the birds and the bees and these bright white walls
Let me introduce you to some friends of mine
They're so polite and they dress so fine
Sometimes they take me for a walk in the sun
I get to play in the grass 'till I'm done

Brain dance
Brain dance
This is brain dance
Watch my brain dance

I'd like to call myself an artist
My toe paintings are just the best
But when my feet get tired
I lose the crayon and get some rest
I've got a feeling there's a fish in the floor
I'd better squish it or he'll swim out the door
Sometimes they take me for a walk in the sun
I see my fish and I have to run

Brain dance
Brain dance
This is brain dance
Watch my brain dance

Rubber shoes, a dirty sock
Plastic toes and it's my pet rock
And this song is very silly and it makes no sense at all because
it's weird
Out of the pan and into the fire and back in the pan again
He jumped out of the frying pan, into the fire and he's back again
He jumped, what?, yes he's jumped and he's flying through the air
He jumped out of the frying pan, into the fire and he's back again
Let me introduce you to a friend of mine
She's been here for quite some time
Sometimes we go out for a walk in the sun
To walk with Alice is always fun

This guys on acid,.... right?

[Hilarity Unit]

The Sundays' Here's Where The Story Ends:


Oh I never should have said, the books that you read
were all I loved you for

[Chiaroscuro]

The whole of Billy Bragg's A New England (http://www.kirstymaccoll.com/music/lyrics/a_new_england.htm)- as sung by the wonderful Kirsty MacColl, talking of whom:

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

and In These Shoes (http://www.kirstymaccoll.com/music/lyrics/in_these_shoes.htm) is a great song, always makes me smile.

[RedKing]

That's my stock reply to requests - "What? In these shoes? I don't think so..."

It fits for most examples.

[Chiaroscuro]

I love these lines from Wandering Star:

Do I know where hell is, hell is in hello,
Heaven is goodbye forever, it's time for me to go.

Not that I'm unsociable or anything. :D

[scooterman]

So many HMHB lyrics spring to mind...........

"Didn't take much time convincing her
Baby I;m from the Wirral peninsula"


""I know Bono and he knows Ono,she knows Eno and he knows me"


BUt my all time fave is from Motorhead-
4th day of a 5day marathon, we're moving like a parallellogram..................all good clean fun,have another stick of gum,Man you look better already................

amphetemines have a LOT to answer for!

[scooterman]

Oh I've just remembered all those early 70's Barclay James Harvest songs(its ok don't panic I've got me coat on already and am halfway down the road)

[Halmyre]

One I heard recently - 'Gordon Is A Moron', by Jilted John:

(having been ditched by the duplicitous Julie)

"I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop."

[Chiaroscuro]

Jilted John. That takes me back. :)

[RedKing]

Now a much different person, of course.

[jag]

"The longest way to travel, is from the darkness to the light"

The Screaming trees.

[Chiaroscuro]

Now a much different person, of course.

Who, Jilted John?

[RedKing]

Yes, he's John Shuttleworth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shuttleworths) now.

[Chiaroscuro]

Ohhh, yeah. I had to find a photo to make sure he wasn't that daft act with the big papier mache head.

[Chiaroscuro]

I was thinking of Frank Sidebottom.

Intensely so. :)

'There are fewer sites more distressing than that of an Englishman in a baseball cap'
The Libertines..'Time for Heroes'

[RedKing]

Surely that should read "... few more depressing sights than a fat sweaty druggie in a pork pie hat" or was that written by Docherty? ;)

[jag]

:).
No 'c' by the way in Doherty.

[RedKing]

But plenty of e's tho', eh?

[jag]

Good one Red.

In light of the recent financial crises is a song by Julian Cope written 10 years ago called 'Greedhead detector' about the captains of industry and all the fatcat trappings and how the banking system will implode (Cope is a visionary, I kid you not)
At the gig the audience pogoed wildly and chanted the lyric.

'Fuck fuck fuck you, fuck fuck you, fuck you fuck you'.

[jag]

"You can't hide forever
Behind pillars in the mind,
'Cause the pillars
Get eroded by the turbulence of time"

[disrepdog]

Like that Jag, where's it from?

[jag]

It's from a song of mine.
I was looking thru an old lyric book last night and there it was.
Thank you.
