Greatest song lyrics EVER.beat this if you can

[northstandnorth]

We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theatre
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lids comes down
And break his f***ing fingers
It's a miracle

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

:dance:

 

[northstandnorth]

the full version.

Miraculous you call it babe
You ain't seen nothing yet
They got Pepsi in the Andes
They got McDonalds in Tibet
Yosemite's been turned into a golf course For the Japs
And the Dead Sea is alive with rap
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
There's a leisure centre now
They got all kinds of sports
They got Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
And a doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle

We got warehouses of butter
We got oceans of wine
We got famine when we need it
We got designer crime
We got Mercedes
We got Porsche, Ferrari and Rolls Royce
Yeah, we got choice
She said meet me
In the Garden of Gethsemene my dear
The Lord said, Peter I can see your house from here
An honest man
Finally reaped what he had sown
And a farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle

We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theatre
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his f***ing fingers
It's a miracle

Got the Unlimited edition gold vinyl album?
for a coloured vinyl album it still plays and sounds great,most novelty vinyl albums are shite

 

[brakespear]

Great song, off Roger Waters best solo album too - but not sure about greatest lyrics ever (or even off that album ).

Seems pretty weird this re-evaluation of Ian Dury.

Back in the day, everybody thought he was shite.

 

[northstandnorth]

gimme better,from anyone.

bollox,many of us knew from the Killburn And The High Roads days he was a special talent.

 

[El Presidente]

It's got you in the grip before you were born
It's done with the use of a dice and a board,
They let you think you're a king but you're really a pawn

Is that the dreary pub-rock band that finally knocked it on the head just before punk came along? Dead and buried along with Dr Feelgood and Eddie and the Hot Rods by 1976. Sorry, you lose. The cognoscenti are NEVER wrong. Specially when it comes to punk

so cognoscenti that you regard kilburn as punk?
you loose, compared to the REAL new wave kilburn and the origional Adam and the Ants.punk was never anything more than a rehash of the NYDolls/Iggy Pop scene.
Kilburn, Adam and the Ants and the rockabillies were the real deal.

 

[The Large One]

Don't have an argument about Bazooka Joe, now please.

Fuckin' hell, The Jam were the dogs bollocks for a while, but I will raise you a


Walk in Silence
Don't walk away, in silence
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self hate,
Confronts and then dies,
Don't walk away

'Dead Souls' has better lyrics imo

No. Punk killed kilburn stone dead. Read me post again.

Deary me By some bizarre freak of nature you seem to have missed ALL the best stuff of an entire era. You're just quoting wall-to-wall shite bands at me. I win. You lose. Laughing AT you

No offence
