Tom McRae - Boy with the bubblegun

repeated throughout song:
"if words could kill,
i spell out your name"


ends with this perfect wounder:
"if songs could kill,
this ones for you"

beautiful!

Fake plastic trees - Radiohead

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
if I just turned and ran

and

True love waits - Radiohead

and true love waits
in haunted attics
and true love lives
on lollipops and crisps

just don't leave
don't leave

i'm not living, i'm just killing time
your tiny hands, your crazy-kitten smile

You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette

I want you to know that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theater?
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive

(chorus)
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap on the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you f*** her

Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive

(repeat chorus)

Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And i'm not going to fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it ... well can you feel it?

Knock Me Down - RHCP:

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

. When your tribe's ascending
from the egg into the flower,
alpha information sending
states within the heaven shower
from disciples the unending
subtleties of river power.
They slip inside this house as they pass by.

2. If your limbs begin dissolving
in the water that you tread,
all surroundings are evolving
in the stream that clears your head,
find yourself a caravan
like Noah must have led,
and slip inside this house as you pass by.

3. Slip inside this house as you pass by.
True conception, knowing why,
brings even more than meets the eye.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.

4. In this dark we call creation
we can be and feel and know
from an effort, comfort station,
that's surviving on the go.
There's infinite survival in
the high baptismal glow.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.

5. There is no season when you are grown.
You are always risen from the seeds you've sown.
There is no reason to rise alone.
Other stories given have sages of their own.

6. Live where your heart can be given,
and your life starts to unfold
in the forms you envision
in this dream that's ages old.
On the river layer is the only sayer.
You receive all you can hold,
like you've been told.

7. Every day's another dawning.
Give the morning winds a chance.
Always catch your thunder yawning.
Lift your mind into the dance.
Sweep the shadows from your awning.
Shrink the fourfold circumstance
that lies outside this house.
Don't pass it by.

8. Higher worlds that you uncover
light the path you want to roam.
You compare there and discover
You won't need a shell of foam.
Twice born gypsies care and keep
the nowhere of their former home.
They slip inside this house as they pass by.

9. Slip inside this house as you pass by.
You think you can't, you wish you could.
I know you can, I wish you would
slip inside this house as you pass by.

10. Four and twenty birds of Maya
baked into an atom you
polarized into existence,
magnet heart from red to blue:
to such extent, the realm of dark
within the picture it seems true,
but slip inside this house and then decide.

11. All your lightning waits inside you.
Travel it along your spine.
Seven stars receive your visit.
Seven seals remain divine:
seven churches filled with spirit,
treasure from the angels' mine.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.

12. Slip inside this house as you pass by
The space you make has your own laws.
No longer human gods are cause.
The center of this house will never die.

13. There is no season when you are grown.
You are always risen from the seeds you've sown.
There is no reason to rise alone.
Other stories given have sages of their own.

14. Draw from the well of unchanging.
Its union nourishes on
in the right re-arranging
till the last confusion is gone.
Water-brothers trust in the ultimate
of the always singing song they pass along.

15. One-eyed men aren't really reigning.
They just march in place until
two-eyed men with mystery training
finally feel the power fill.
Three-eyed men are not complaining.
They can yo-yo where they will.
They slip inside this house as they pass by.
Don't pass it by.

[From the album "Easter Everywhere" 1967]
lyrics by Tommy "shhhh.." Hall

My old man's a dustman
he wears a dustman's cap
he wears gor blimey trousers
and he lives in a council flat.

Can't remember who wrote it, might have been Oscar Wilde.

Can't remember the song, but:

"Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes -
Daddy was an alcoholic..."

The first one that immediately springs to my mind is that classic line from Johnny Cash:

"I shot a man in Reno,just to watch him die".

Alcoholic by Starsailer

I got soul but i'm not a soldier

not sure who it's by but it's in the charts at the moment

The Killers.. The track is called "All These Things That I've Done."

I know a girl who reminds me of Cher,
She's always changing the colour of her hair,
But she don't use nothing you can buy at the store,
She likes her hair to, be real orange.

- She Don't use Jelly, The Flaming Lips.

Only could they finish a verse a word that doesn't rhyme with any other word in the english language.

"Some balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress.
But when they're held for pleasure they're the balls that I like best"

Big Balls by AC/DC - the whole song cracks me up - double entendre heaven!

"Don't bully them, because they speak a different language"

The Bare Naked Ladies - Hello City

Alex

This sense of humour of mine
It isn't funny at all
Oh but we sit up all night
Talking about it....

....On a balcony in New York
It's just started to snow
He meets us at the lift
Like Douglas Fairbanks
Waving his walking stick
But he isn't well at all
The buildings of New York
Look just like mountains through the snow....

....And I can hear my mother saying
"Every old sock meets an old shoe"
Isn't that a great saying?
"Every old sock meets an old shoe"


Some lines there from Moments Of Pleasure by Kate Bush... pure brilliance and a fantastic muscial arrangement. I thank you

Did the Flaming Lips do the original of this, I've been listening to the version by drugstore.

One of the lyrics I like at the moment is this:

Beautiful boys on the beautiful dancefloor. Michael you're dancing like a beautiful dancewhore.

From Franz Ferdinand - Michael

WHAT!

Sorry I thought I was on fave lines from a song, not worst lines from a song.

I'm the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir of nothing in particular

The Smiths - "How Soon is Now"

Now that's more like it.

Erm... you criticese my choice yet post these lyrics??????????

"And you run, and you run to catch up to the sun, but it's sinking,
And racing around, to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but your older,
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quite desperation is the english way,
The time is gone, the song is over thought I'd something more to say......"

Pink Floyd
"Time"
Dark Side Of The Moon
(1973)

"Whether it's off or on or on or off or on" - The Streets, Don't Mug Yourself

WOW! It's the theme tune to the Raggy Dolls! Lol!

I loved the Smith's 'Stop me if you think you've heard this one before' lyrics! I love the lyrics to the Scissor Sisters album track Return To Oz...here's the lyrics!...

Once there was a man
who had a little too much time on his hands
he never stopped to think that he was getting older.
When his night came to an end
He tried to grasp for his last friend and pretend
That he could wish himself health on a four-leaf clover

He said is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
There's a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town

Its three o' clock in the morning
You get a phone call from the queen with a hundred heads
She says that they're all dead
She tried the last one on
It couldn't speak, fell off
And now she just wanders the halls
Thinking nothing, thinking nothing at all

She says is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
There's a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town

The wheelies are cutting pavement
and the Skeksis at the rave meant
to hide deep inside
their sunken faces
and their wild, rolling eyes
But their callous words reveal
That they can no longer feel
Love or sex appeal
The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal

To return to Oz we've fled the world
With smiles and clenching jaws
Please help me friend from coming down
I've lost my place now and it cant be found
Is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
There's a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town

Yes I do.
And your spelling!
