Lyrics that wouldn't win any awards, but you love them anyway.
Some of my all-time favourite lyrics are to Celebrity Skin by Hole, even though I know they aren't that brilliant in the eyes of other people.
Oh make me over. I'm all I wanna be. I work and study In demonology. Hey, so glad you could make it, Yeah, now you really made it, Hey so glad you could make it now. Oh look at my face, My name is might have been, My name is never was, My name's forgotten. Hey, so glad you could make it, Yeah, now you really made it, Hey, it's only us left now. When I wake up, in my makeup, It's too early for that dress, Wilted and fading, somewhere in Hollywood, I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh. No second billing, 'cause you're a star now, Oh Cinderella, they aren't sluts like you. Beautiful Garbage, Beautiful dresses, Can you stand up or will you just fall down? You better watch out, What you wish for, It better be worth it, So much to die for. Hey, so glad you could make it, Yeah, now you really made it, Hey, it's only us left now. When I wake up, in my make up, Have you ever felt so used up as this? It's all so sugarless, Hooker-Waitress Model-Actress Oh just go nameless. Honeysuckle, she's full of poison, She obliterated everything she kissed. Now she's fading, somewhere in Hollywood, I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh. You want a part of me? Well I'm not selling cheap. No I'm not selling cheap. |

Haha that is one of my favourite Hole songs, even if the lyrics are nonsense I love them too!
I'll contribute Being Around by the Lemonheads. If I was in the fridge, would you open the door? If I was the grass, would you mow your lawn? If I was your body, would you still wear clothes? If I were a booger, would you blow your nose? Where would you keep it? Would you eat it? I’m just trying to give myself a reason For being around If I was the front porch swing, would you let me hang? If I was the dance floor, would you shake your thang? If I was a rubber cheque, would you let me bounce Up and down inside your bank account? Would ya trust me Not to break you? I’m just trying really hard to make you Notice me being around If was a haircut, would you wear a hat? If I was a maid, could I clean your flat? If I was the carpet, would you wipe your feet In time to save me from mud off the street? If you like me If you love me Would you get down on your knees and scrub me? I’m a little grubby, from just being around. |

I think these lyrics are hilarious, I always have a chuckle when this song come on-
Goldie Lookin Chain- Guns Don't Kill People Guns dont kill people rappers do, Ask any politican and they'll tell you its true, Its a fact music makes you violent, Like Michael Jackson telling little Timmy to be silent, You don't believe me? Heres my hype, Offer me the record and i'll show you the type, Of criminal this rap shit is breedin, Its a fact that MC Hammer left me bleedin, Vanilla Ice made my mother say '****', If I stuck with UB40 then I woulda been in luck, But I didn't I got it wrong, Cypress ****ing Hill told me to make a ****ing bong, So I started, I bought another tape, The Power by Snap made my cock and balls ache, So remember kids from the head double tap, Guns don't kill people its just rap! [Chorus] Guns don't kill people rappers do Sound of the police Woo Woo Woo Guns don't kill people rappers do, I seen it in a documentary on BBC2, Shot to death outside Hyper Value, Guns blazin like Michael Caine in Zulu, Gun-crime statistics are sometimes misleading, The type of criminal that rap is breedin, Shot in the chest? No wonder you stopped breathin, 2 for the base over, are you receivin? Remember rap tracks in '87 Scott the Rock's up ni Hip-Hop heaven, Biggie and Tupac R.I.P, Even Jam Master Jays in the cemetary. [chorus] Guns don't kill people rappers do, I'm a ****ing rapper and I might kill you, As a rapper I'm teachin you a lesson, AK47 to Smith-and-Wesson Just say no, just like Zammo Bullet proof vest, to guns and ammo, Hip-hop gangster trippin, Even Eminems into pistol whippin, Its like cluedo murder one, P-Diddy, J'lo in a nightclub with a gun, Heard snoop dog now wants to bust a cap, Guns dont kill people its just rap One, Two yo face my shoe, My name is Mike Balls and I'm comin through, Gun crimes, stabbin, and burglarisation, Its on a rise all across the nation, The safety's off and the pistol is aimed, Yardies and the Mafia always get blamed, Politicians are shamed, and they haven't got a clue, Rap is more deadly than ****ing Kung-Fu [Chorus] Guns dont kill people rappers do, From Bristol Zoo to B&Q, I wanna rap, I wanna rhyme Heard it in a song now im into gun crime, Its a sign of the times like Prince changin his name, Gotta have a shooter to be in the rap game, Like Michael Ryan about to snap, Guns dont kill people its just rap! |

Oh make me over. I'm all I wanna be. I work and study In demonology... I love those lyrics too. I like a lot of Regina Spektior's lyrics especially those of Reginasaurus, they aren't that great but they're so cute. if I was a dinosaur I'd be a reginasurus and if I knew a million english words I'd publish my own spektor's thesaurus if I was born in the merry month of may then I would be a taurus and if I had some extra time on my hands, then I'd surely join a chorus if I was a philosophy I'd be registentionalism and if people spoke using quotes of me they'd say reginaisms if I was a religion, then my church would surely have a schism there'd be regewish and registian and regislam and reguddist and regatheist but they'd still be friends if I was a great big city I'd be reginapolis no one would be sickly or achey in my thriving metropolis unless of course they came down with bad case of reginitis a heartache and a headache and a sunburn and a little bit of acute gastritis but if I was a dinosaur I'd be a reginasaurus if I was a dinosaur I'd be a reginasurus and if I knew a million english words I'd have my own spektor's thesaurus if I was born in the merry month of may then I would be a taurus and if I had some extra time on my hands, then I'd surely join a chorus |

Not Mr Gallagher's finest moment but I love the lyrics to Digsy's Dinner
What a life it would be If you would come to mine for tea I'll pick you up at half past three we'll have lasagne I'll treat you like a Queen I'll give you strawberries and cream then your friends will all go green For my lasagne These could be the best days of our lives But I don't think we've been living very wise Oh no, no. (repeat thrice to finish) Much maligned (by Liam as much as anyone) but I love it- it's just a fun, silly little song! Also, this little gem from the Libertines: The boy looked at Johnny and said My word that was fun When he did it with his hat on Like in a saddle with his gun We're in slow motion eating breakfast At the side view hotel Oh slipping down fine Everything's going so well New York city's very pretty in the night time But oh don't you miss Soho Where everybody goes La de di la de di da diddy The boy looked at Johnny Said "Don't you know who I think I am" He said I did it once before Now Im trying all I can He says oh no no oh yeah yeah I said oh no no no yeah yeah yeah yeah New York city's very pretty in the night time But don't you miss Soho Where everybody goes La de di la de di da diddy Beautiful line in bold- the song is great but that line makes it for me! |
