The world's best lyrics

[Yellow Fang]

Kevin will never be left on the shelf
Because, Kevin, he's in love with himself

The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin

 

[Ming the Merciless]

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight.
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining, oh, so bright.
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in sky,
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets.

Bat out of hell

 

[swee'pea99]

Surely the lyr

Lyrics were written by a Russian Jew in the years before the Nazi horrors

They were written by an American jew, re lynching in the deep south - nowt to do with Germany.

I know my point was poorly made.

 

[Yellow Fang]

Streets are full of signs, arrows pointing everywhere
Parks are full of people trying to get a breath of air
Listen to the weatherman praying for a drop of rain
Look into the sky, the sky is full of aeroplanes

I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the Jetty

Dr Feelgood - All through the City

 

[LCpl Boiled Egg]

Big and fat and bouncy rectangle on the floor,
You'll bounce and bounce 'til you can't take anymore,
You'll bounce for ever, you'll try and look so mean,
You'll wish you'd never been on Satan's Trampoline.

Big and fat and bouncy rectangle on the floor,
You'll bounce and bounce 'til you can't take anymore,
You'll bounce for ever, you'll try and look so mean,
You'll wish you'd never been on Satan's Trampoline.

In a similar vein...

I like bouncing
Boing! Boing! Boing!
up and down until I get a pain in me groin

 

[Seevio]

Which version, though? NiN or Johnny Cash?

Those lyrics are Johnny Cash. The NiN song he covered had different lyrics.

Far too wordy

It's ok, I think @Drago copy/pasted it.

That was Lance Armstrong's girlfriend sang that. Her name slips my mind.

Yep, Sheryl Crow. Not in my music library, but I remember the lyric.

 

[Beebo]

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
