Classic/witty/notable lyrics

[Pseudo]

OK kids, use this thread to post any lyrical snippets that you find especially cool.

My first contribution:

"If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower" - Talking Heads, Nothing But Flowers

[Booney]

"Have you ever seen a whale with a pea green sail?

Or a dog with a strawberry paw,he runs around singing 'Bark.....Yeah' "

Dont know the name of the song, David Bowie.

[Snaggletooth Tiger]

I could throw in a few...
But the kinda music I listen to would have the moderators in right f'n state eh!

[Leaping Lindner]

You're a star-belly sneech -You suck like a leach
You want everyone to act like you -Kiss ass while you bitch
So you can get rich - But your boss gets richer off you

[MatteeG]

Lawnmower Deth- "Drunk In Charge of an Ugly Face"

"Went out drinking late last night
Had some beers it affected my sight
Stopped by the law for jumping a light
Took me down the station and read my rights,
They said.....
Drunk in charge of an ugly face
you're Banned for life its a f***ing disgrace"

Yes, thats the whole song, goes for about 30 secs.

NOFX have some golden lyrics. Propagandhi also have some belters.
Carcass have some brilliant use of Thesaurus/Medical dictionaries, but me thinks the majority wouldnt be too taken with them.

I may add to this thread as I hear more...nice one Pseudo!

[Dirko]

Ita's tongue never touches her lips
She could always be my godmother
And though the desk-top hides her hips
My imagination's strong
She's the sweetest thing I've ever seen
I'd like to take her out to dinner
But when I think about the places I've been
I'd probably hold my fork all wrong

For some reason "Ita" by Cold Chisel always makes me smile, as I think about Barnsey
wanting to "bone" her...

[Dogwatcher]

"Here's the church, here's the steeple, open the door where's all the people." - Suppose You Gave A Funeral and Nobody Came, Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine

[Q.]

Propagandhi also have some belters.

If I had to pick one song to listen to for the rest of my life, 'Iteration' would be it. Composition of the song is great, but the lyrics are phenomenal (IMO ). I don't want to set precedent for posting entire songs on this thread, but snippets of it won't do it justice (although maybe the final sentence would be the pick).


Donald wept through the proceedings. His tears soaked through the canvas that cloaked his twisted face and they stained orange jumpsuit where with such rare distinction he once displayed the evidence of his outstanding contributions to the maintenance of a kingdom come. But those days are gone. He's nothing more than a number on a docket thick with shareholder, engineers, PR firms, politicians: war-profiteers. "How the **** did I end up here? This just isn't fair. Ain't no place for a millionaire." He searches for the words to stop this table in mid-turn, like "we are but old men" and "we only did what we were told", but the laughter from the gallery drowns out these vestiges of a profession's oldest defense. "The court will direct the record to reflect compliments from the bench; you sir, are central casting's crowning achievement. And for your outstanding performance in a comedic role, I'd like to dedicate the findings of the jury to the dead." But how can one man ever repay a debt so appalling? Can't gouge 10,000 eyes from a single head so I think we should observe a sentence that will serve to satisfy both a sense of function and poetry: so you will spend the rest of your days drenched in sweat, with your face drawn in a rictus of terror as you remove another buried land mine fuse. Meanwhile, 100 yards back behind the sandbags, a legless foreman pulls the trigger on a red megaphone. Squelching feedback. Drunken laughter. Broken English. His dead daughter's picture. Time and tide, no one can anticipate the inevitable waves of change.

Can't be as amusing as Alice Cooper waxing lyrical about a corpse in Cold Ethyl:

One thing I miss is cold Ethyl and her skeleton kiss
We met last night making love by the refrigerator light
...
Ah one thing no lie Ethyl's frigid as an eskimo pie
She's cool in bed she's gotta be 'cuz Ethyl's dead
...
One thing it's true cold Ethyl I am stuck on you
And everything is my way ethyl don't have much to say
...
If I live 'til ninety seven you'll still be waiting in refrigerator heaven
'cuz you're cool you're ice, cold Ethyl you're my paradise

"It would be nice, to have a blowjob from your mum."

"I, tried to **** a dog in the ass, tried to **** a dog in the ass, I tried to **** a dog."

Blink 182

[Pidge]

When you try your best, but you dont succeed - Fix You - Coldplay

[zipzap]

Could quote any number of Smiths songs:

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

(There is a Light that Never Goes Out)

In print this looks kind of macabre but in reality it's probably the prettiest song they ever wrote - go figure

[Q.]

For it's controversy at the time, Asylum from the Crass album 'Feeding of the 5000'.

Share nothing you Christ, sterile, impotent, f*cklove prophet of death. You are the ultimate pornography, in your c*ntfear, c*ckfear, manfear, womanfear, unfair, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare.
JESUS DIED FOR IS OWN SINS, NOT MINE.

House of Pain - Jump Around

" I'll serve your ass like John McEnroe
If your girl steps up, I'm smackn' the Ho..."

[Booney]

"From frustration you're first inclination is to become a monk and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel has a light of hope,so dont hang yourself with a celibate rope"

Bust a move- Young MC

[Drop Bear]

The entire lyrics to "Sir Psycho Sexy" by THRHCP. Here's a sample though.

I got stopped by a lady cop
In my automobile
She said get out and spead your legs
And then she tried to cop a feel
That cop she was all dressed in blue
Was she pretty? Boy I'm tellin' you
She stuck my butt with her big black stick
I said "what's up?" now suck my dick
Like a ram getting ready to jam the lamb
She whimpered just a little when she felt my hand
On her crotch so very warm
I could feel her getting wet through her uniform
Proppin' her up on the black and white
Unzipped and slipped "ooo that's tight"
I swatted her like no swat team can
Turned a cherry pie right into jam

[Magpiespower]

REDMAN - Watch Yo Nuggets

The Sooperman grand slams a new twist,
Scoop this: Redman is milk like two tits!

[Ingall]

Went to Georgia, met this fine-assed white girl,
Blonde hair, blue eyes, big tits and thighs,
The kinda girl that would knock out most guys.
She got wild in the backstage bathroom,
Sucked my dick like a muthaf*ckin vacuum,
Said i love you, but my daddy don't play,
He's the f*ckin grand wizard of the KKK


KKK Bitch - Bodycount

[Baron Greenback]

The entire lyrics to "Sir Psycho Sexy" by THRHCP. Here's a sample though.

I got stopped by a lady cop
In my automobile
She said get out and spead your legs
And then she tried to cop a feel
That cop she was all dressed in blue
Was she pretty? Boy I'm tellin' you
She stuck my butt with her big black stick
I said "what's up?" now suck my dick
Like a ram getting ready to jam the lamb
She whimpered just a little when she felt my hand
On her crotch so very warm
I could feel her getting wet through her uniform
Proppin' her up on the black and white
Unzipped and slipped "ooo that's tight"
I swatted her like no swat team can
Turned a cherry pie right into jam

That's unreal!
What album is that on?

[Ingall]

That's unreal!

Blood Sugar Sex Magik


- great album!
it's where my current signature comes from

give to me sweet sacred bliss
your mouth was made to suck my kiss
