favorite song lyrics

"There are fewer more distressing sights than that
Of an Englishman in a baseball cap"

- The Libertines - "Time For Heroes"

"She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there"

AC/DC - "You Shook Me All Night Long"

"Before you go and leave this town
I want to see you one more time
Put your dirty angel face
Between my legs and knicker lace"

Goldfrapp - "Twist"

George Thorogood and the Destroyers (originally John Lee Hooker)

<long intro snipped>

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when,
I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin
Gonna get high man I'm gonna get loose,
Need me a triple shot of that juice
Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

But I'm sitting now at the bar,
I'm getting drunk, I'm feelin' mellow
I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer
Looked down the bar, here come the bartender
I said "Look man, come down here"
So what you want?

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No I ain't seen my baby since the night before last,
Gotta get a drink man I'm gonna get gassed
Gonna get high man I ain't had enough,
Need me a triple shot of that stuff
Gonna get drunk won't you listen right here,
I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

Now by this time I'm plenty high,
You know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high
Looked down the bar I say to my bartender
I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there
So what you want this time?
I said "Look man, a-what time is it?"
He said "The clock on the wall say three o'clock
Last call for alcohol, so what you need?"

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week,
Gotta get drunk man till I can't even speak
Gonna get high man listen to me,
One drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three
I wanna get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear,
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

I'm wet with sweat, and handcuffed to the TV set
She feeds me in 3d , me synchro make intensity
I'll die in here, her thighs shut tight around my ears

POP WILL EAT ITSELF

Waiting, watching the clock its four o clock its got to stop
Tell him, take no more she practices her speech as he opens the door, she rolls over, pretends to sleep as he looks her over

PEARL JAM - BETTER MAN



These were on my mind on the way to work this morning...says a lot about my state of mind

possibly not the most profound lyrics...

The Scientist by Coldplay, especially with the video.

Angel (Robbie Williams) - can't remember the songwriter's name.

yep, 'The Living Years' by Mike & The Mechanics is a real weepy.

'Wuthering Heights' by Kate Bush also does something for me.

In the day we'd sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night we'd ride through mansions of glory
On suicide machines
Sprung from cages on Highway nine
Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
And stepping out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We've gotta get out while we're young
Cos tramps like us
Baby we were born to run

On the road you must be tough and ruthless
and the rumours that we're gay are truthless

On the road you eat cafe food with pride
you can throw it up outside

Oh we like trucking, we like trucking

Woo hoo… We have some stuffies and poppey-ites!!!!

‘we dig tv , we dig remote control, the furry freak brothers and twilight zone…’

‘I didn’t like you very much when I met you… Now I like you even less!’

‘Don’t give me love and none of that stuff, it’s you’re money I’m after baby’


Classic stuff… Oh and the Neds:

‘Sight for sore eyes, I need an intermission, If looks could kill, I’d kill your television!’

They do it down on Camber Sands/They do it at Waikiki

Squeeze - Pulling mussels from a shell

Same song - Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet.

In fact, lots of Squeeze double entendres -

I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone.

Personal Fave:-

The boats in the harbour, slip from their chains,
head for new horizons, lets do the same.

Stone Roses - Tightrope

SAD SONG:

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky,
But why, why, why can't it be....can't it be mine"

Pearl Jam - Black. Always seems to get me going for some reason.

HAPPY SONG:

Any and all lyrics from Tenacious D - F*ck Her Gently.

If you've never heard this song before, get it and listen. Proper juvenile humour!
