You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old **** on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy ****
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
Cant believe noone has put that song on here after the hoo-ha at xmas about banning them lines.
Me, i love the song and cant help but singing the cheap lousy bit louder when me other half is about :D
I suppose the lyrics in those songs weren't really explicit so the meaning wasn't picked up on
they were sussed at the time - the Vapors are a local group to me and friends of friends - they apparently decided to confirm or deny the song was about a w-nk in turns, just to confuse people.
"teenage kicks" was used as the title of a punk/new wave anthology. everybody knew what they meant at my school.
"Peaches" by the Stranglers had the unusual line about whether she was trying to get out of her clitoris...
I don't think there would be a problem with Honky Tonk Women today. Brown Sugar - Jagger often changes the most racially offensive lyrics in performance these days.
Have you got any suggestions for lyrics not used these days?
Really and truely I can only remember one song really getting savagely attacked by the press because of it's lyrics. Can you remember what it was ?
Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood? Ironically it was Mike Read (the DJ, not Frank Butcher!!) who kicked up stink about that one - a man who liked to dress up as a schoolboy.....people in glass houses and all that??!!
There were other examples of lyrics being vilified by the media long before that one - most notably the Rolling Stones' "Let's Spend the Night Together" - SHOCK HORROR HEADLINES!!

Lets think hoods, lets think speculation on who the band members were, lets think very unpopular murderess. I'm not even sure if the single ever got released the media had such a field day over it. Actually this could be the wrong thread as you could'nt get away the lyrics then either.

I remember the fuss about that now! i still think the video to that is very risky even for today.

Anyone listen to the Mark Ronson Feat. Ol' Dirty Bastard & Tiggers version of Toxic, the rap bit is very risque. I cant find anything on the net apart from the actual lyrics from the Britteny Spears song!
I got pictures of naked ladies
Lying on their beds
I whiff that smell and sweet convulsion
Starts a-Swelling inside my head
I'm making artificial lovers for free
I start to howl I'm in heat
I moan and growl and the hunt drives me crazy
I f*** like a Beast
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
I'm on the prowl and i watch you closely
I lie waiting for you
I'm the wolf with the sheepskins clothing
I lick my chops and your tasting good
I do whatever i want to, to ya
I'll nail your ass to the sheets
A pelvic thrust and the sweat starts to sting ya
I f*** like a beast
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
This song actually came out a couple of years ago, on the album 'Ballad of the Broken Seas' by Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan. First time I heard it was a bit of a shock simply because the tune is really sweet and the lyrics are really not.
little girl have I told you
how you light up my life
come and lay down beside me
come and thrill me tonight
do you wanna?
I'm not saying I love you
I won't say I'll be true
there's a crimson bird flying
when I go down on you
I'm so weary and lonesome
and it's cold in the night
when the path to your doorway
is a pathway of light
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna come walk with me?
if you do baby say it now
though we'll both wonder anyhow
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna?
little girl have I told you
you're my guiding north star
and my love travels with you
wherever you are
from the mountains to the valley
leave the light on for me
from Virginia to Alaska
from sea to shining sea
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna come walk with me?
if you do baby say it now
though we'll both wonder anyhow
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna?
It kind of works better when you listen to the song.

Are you talking about The Moors Murderers "Free Hindley"? I can't ever remember there being THAT much of a fuss about it, it wasn't even remotely a hit and was quite obscure even then. There was more fuss over The Smiths "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" cover art, which the wonderfull press attacked for it having Myra Hindley on the sleeve. Unfortunately for those bumwipes it was Vyv Nicholls and not Hindley
Incidentally, did you know The Moors Murderers band comprised of Chrissie Hynde (hmm, likes to come the holier-than-thou about eating meat, yet apparently supporting Hindley in a tasteless way is ok with her), Steve Strange & Sue Catwoman?

Right time period, right genre.
Get onto Wikipedia about it, it was there the other day.:mad:

Hey, little girl,
Comb your hair, fix your make-up.
Soon he will open the door.
Don't think because
There's a ring on your finger,
You needn't try any more
For wives should always be lovers, too.
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
I'm warning you.
Day after day,
There are girls at the office,
And men will always be men.
Don't send him off
With your hair still in curlers.
You may not see him again.
For wives should always be lovers, too.
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
He's almost here.
Hey, little girl
Better wear something pretty,
something you'd wear to go to the city.
And dim all the lights,
Pour the wine, start the music.
Time to get ready for love.
Oh, time to get ready,
Time to get ready,
Time to get ready
For love.

'Eyeing little girls with bad intent'
'Snot running down his nose'
