The world's best lyrics

[Smokin Joe]

Yeah, Ali McGraw got mad with you
For givin' head to Steve McQueen
Yeah, you and me, we made a pretty pair
Fallin' through the silver screen
Honey, I'm open to anything
I don't know where to draw the line
Yeah, I'll make bets that you're gonna get
John Wayne before he dies

Profound lyrics...

How about a bit of Jarvis: "Mother, I can never come home again 'cause I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere, in a field in Hampshire. Alright!"

I don't take these threads seriously

 

[Cycleops]

Yeah, Ali McGraw got mad with you
For givin' head to Steve McQueen
Yeah, you and me, we made a pretty pair
Fallin' through the silver screen
Honey, I'm open to anything
I don't know where to draw the line
Yeah, I'll make bets that you're gonna get
John Wayne before he dies

Thought you might have gone for this Joe

In first place...
I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me
2nd
I'd like to leave the country
For a month of Sundays
Burn the town where I was born
If only she'd believe me
Bellona belladonna
Burn me out or bring me home
3rd place.
You cry out in your sleep, All my failings exposed.
And there’s a taste in my mouth, As desperation takes hold.

Proudest moment recently when my daughter 15 asked "dad you know that album you play all the time...can I listen to it ? "
Stone Roses.😁
Most ashamed of moment.Same daughter left her Harry Styles cd in the car and I sometimes sing along to it when alone !!

The Tubes - Tip Of My Tongue
"Never been too cunning, I'm no linguist."

Zappa - Dinah Moe Hum
The entire tune has some of the best lyrics ever.

Dinah-moe
I couldn't say where she's coming from
But I just met a lady named dinah-moe
She stroll on over, say look here, bum
I got a forty dollar bill say you can't make me cum

She made a bet with her sister who's a little bit dumb
She could prove it any time all men was scum
I don't mind that she called me a bum
But I knew right away she was really gonna cum (so I got down to it)

I whipped off her bloomers and stiffened my thumb and applied rotation on her sugar plum
I poked and stroked till my wrist got numb
But I still didn't hear no dinah-moe
Dinah-moe humm
Dinah-moe humm
Dinah-moe humm
Where this dinah-moe coming from

Done spent three hours
An' I ain't got a crumb
From the dinah-moe,
Dinah-moe,
Dinah-moe
From the dinah-moe humm

I got a spot that gets me hot
But you ain't been to it
I got a spot that gets me hot
But you ain't been to it

I got a spot that gets me hot
But you ain't been to it
I got a spot that gets me hot
But you ain't been to it

Cause I can't get into it
Unless I get out of it
And I gotta get out of it
Before I get into it

Cause I never get into it
Unless I get out of it
An' I gotta be out of it
To get myself into it

Just get me wasted
And you're half-way there
Cause if my mind's tore up
Then my body don't care

I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin
An' said my-my-my
What sort of thing
Might this lady get high upon?

I checked out her sister
Who was holding the bet
And wondered what kind of trip
The young lady was on
The forty dollar bill didn't matter no more
When her sister got naked and laid on the floor

She said dinah-moe might win the bet
But she could use a little xxxxxx if I wasn't done yet I told her...
Just because the sun
Want a place in the sky

No reason to assume
I wouldn't give her a try
So I pulled on her hair
Got her legs in the air
And asked if she had any cooties on there
What a ya mean cooties
No cooties on me

She was buns-up kneeling
Buns up!
I was wheeling an dealing
Wheeling and dealing an
She surrendered to the feeling
She sweetly surrendered
An' she started in to squealing

Dinah-moe watched from the edge of the bed
With her lips just a-twitching an' her face gone red
Some drool rolling down
From the edge of her chin
While she spied the condition
Her sister was in

She quivered and quaked
And clutched at herself
While her sister made a joke
About her mental health

Till dinah-moe finally
Did give in
But I told her
All she really needed
Was some discipline...

Kiss my aura...
Dora...
M-m-m...
It's real angora
Would y'all like some more-a?
Right here on the flora?
An' how 'bout you, fauna?
You wanna?
Mmm...sound like you might be choking on something
did you say you want some more?
Well, here's some more...

Mmm, sure...listen
Do you think I could interest you
In a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers? mmm...tweezers!
Here, lemme sterilize 'em...
Gimme your lighter...

I couldn't say where she's coming' from
But I just met a lady named dinah-moe
She stroll on over, say look here, bum
I got a forty dollar bill say you can't make me cum

I whipped off her bloomers and stiffened my thumb an' applied rotation on her sugar plum
I poked and stroked till my wrist got numb
An' you know I heard some
Dinah-moe humm
Dinah-moe humm
Dinah-moe humm
Where this dinah-moe coming from

"I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you cared"

But I can put a tennis racket up against my face,
And pretend that I'm Kendo Nagasaki.

That's it, close the thread.

I tried really hard but managed to get some Frankie Goes To Holywood lyrics past the examiners and into my PhD

 

[Bianchi boy]

Glen Campbell, Jimmy Webb, Jimmy Barnes
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload

I hear you singing in the wire
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

 

[Rezillo]

I must agree. Having a cold is better than listening to Coldplay. Unfortunately, we have Viva la Vida on our setlist too, and its tiresome to play.

Coldplay made the mistake of being a cult band that became incredibly successful. Cult bands should release no more than one, possibly two, albums before splitting acrimoniously and being forgotten, except by a self-styled cognoscenti who drag out their name at pub quizzes to get a smug point. Coldplay have never been forgiven for going against type and perhaps should have been wiped out in a bizarre gardening accident after Parachutes.

 

[slowmotion]

She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...

Lover, you should have come over, Jeff Buckley

Maybe typing the lyrics out will get the song out of my head where it's been stuck for over a week...
