Favorite Song Lyric

[mycarsavw]

Well, who cares, who cares what you do
And, who cares, who cares about you, you, you, you, you, you

Anti-Nowhere Leaugue - So What

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape

Blind Melon - No Rain

[Vroomparrot]

"The priest was there
with sandy hair
religion by his side
he saw his law was broken
the punishment was applied"

Neil Young - Song X

I first felt a fist
and then a kick, I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs
and Wormwood Scrubs
and too many right wing meetings

The Jam - Down in the tubestation at midnight

[dangel]

Anthrax - NFB (Dallabnikufesin) Lyrics


We fell in love at first sight
I can't explain the feelings
When I first saw you
We were so so happy
A life of love sweet honey child
You'll always be mine
But then I played the fool
I never meant to hurt you
Or sleep with all your friends
We reconciled we found ourselves
Our love was meant to be
Oh baby can't you see
You left me standing in the mud
Crying to myself
A heart so full of pain
But we fell in love again
This time forever
True love prevails over all
She got hit by a truck...

[Brucelles]

The Hypertension Kid

Words by Clive James
Music by Pete Atkin

Last night I met the Hypertension Kid
Grimly chasing shorts with halves of bitter
In a Mayfair club they call the Early Quitter
He met my eyes and hit me for a quid

"I spend fortunes in this rat-trap" said the Kid
"But the plush and flock soak up the brain's kerfuffle
And I like to see a servile barman shuffle
If sympathy's your need let's hear your bid"

"It's my lousy memory" I told the Kid
"What other men forget I still remember
The flies are still alive inside the amber
It's a garbage can with rubbish for a lid"

"Your metaphors are murder" said the Kid
"I know the mood -- give in to it a little
The man who shatters is the man who's brittle
Lay off the brakes and steer into the skid

"Strained virtue warps the soul" announced the Kid
"Those forced attempts at cleanliness that linger
Like soap between your wedding ring and finger
They're residues of which you're better rid

"For evil" said the Hypertension Kid
"Is better contemplated in the deeds of others
Mass-murderers and men who knife their mothers
Be glad that what you've done is all you did

"With me the problem's women" said the Kid
"Befuddled, fondled under separate covers
One and all they've gone to other lovers
As I powered down to zero from the grid

"But I love the little darlings" sighed the Kid
"The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid

"As for the dreadful memories" said the Kid
"The waste and poison in the spirit's river
Relax your hands and let the bastards quiver
They tremble more the more you keep it hid"

We turned to leave the bar, me and the Kid
I with lightened head and lessened terror
Toward the street, and he into the mirror
My second self, the Hypertension Kid


I love the verse in bold.

[Brucelles]

I think my favourite of their oeuvre is "Hitler was a sensitive man", perhaps followed by "You're Gay".

Their songs are mercifully short...

What was wrong with their classic "I gave your baby AIDS"?

Did you know that they are also "Impaled Northern Moon Forest"?

[JK Ferret]

Panic! @ The Disco - London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines

'Just for the record, the weather today
Is slightly sarcastic, with a good chance of
A: indifference, and
B: disinterest, in what the critics say'

Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces

'Was knowing your weakness what made you strong?'

Adam Kay & Suman Biswas -

'Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin'

Reel Big Fish - Beer

'If I get drunk and I pass out on the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more.
And if you're drinking, well you know you know that you're my friend
And I'll say: I think I'll have another beer'

Finally, all of the Chicken Song It's a classic, and you know it

[finlay666]

Hmm... not a "favourite", but certainly an interesting one...

"I intentionally ran over your dog" by AxCx (look them up on Wikipedia for their very NSFW real name and more of their 'delightful' song titles)

I like the
Hitler was a sensitive man
I sold your dog to a chinese restaurant

there were others but tbh the band was a bit of a fad to me really

[sleepyhead]

Your mama, your daddy
Your greasy, greasy grandmammy
You got a hole in your panty
Got a big behind like Frankenstein
Going beep, beep, beep down Sesame Street
Toot, toot, toot wear army boots
In your ear with a can of beer
Up your butt with a coconut

Daphne and Celeste - Ooh Stick You

Not my favourite but makes me laugh

[bigblue]

INXS, Hot Girls...

Looking out my window at some girl as I'm writing this
And I watch her eat a peach, the way she's biting it, biting it
And I probably shouldn't stare, but I am fighting it, fighting it
And I think that she's aware and kind of liking it, liking it

Kinda lame, but 'tis a good track, and sounds better than it reads

I was tempted to put down lyrics from National Express by The Divine Comedy, but I'd need to put the whole damn song

[Funkstar]

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Great song and great lyrics

[Fatboy40]

Son, I'm 30.
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty.

Happy Monday's - Kinky Afro

----------------

You kill me with your smelly fingers.
Your smelly fingers from the sex you had on Christmas Day.

Skunk Anansie - Selling Jesus

[MaddAussie]

Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till its stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.
Forgotten while you're here
Remembered for a while
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.

Life is but a memory
Happened long ago.
Theatre full of sadness
For a long forgotten show.
Seems so easy
Just to let it go on by
Till you stop and wonder
Why you never wondered why.

Safe in the womb
Of an everlasting night
You find the darkness can
Give the brightest light.
Safe in your place deep in the earth
That's when they'll know what you were really worth.
Forgotten while you're here
Remembered for a while
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.

Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till its stock is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.

Fruit tree, fruit tree
No-one knows you but the rain and the air.
Don't you worry
They'll stand and stare when you're gone.

Fruit tree, fruit tree
Open your eyes to another year.
They'll all know
That you were here when you're gone.

Fruit Tree By Nick Drake

A beautiful song by a great if sadly departed english song writer, whos lyrics where almost prophetic of Nicks short life.

[JK Ferret]

[mycarsavw]

You kill me with your smelly fingers.
Your smelly fingers from the sex you had on Christmas Day.
