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!

It's a walking study in demonology- I only know that because its my most listened to song on iTunes 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!
