[MattBackHome]

That Viz one about Boy George singing "I'm a man without conviction..." is pretty good.

 

[The Large One]

'I just died in your arms last night...'

And then, like Lazarus, managed to wake up and tell us about it?

 

[NMH]

It's an old tune. Perhaps Sainsbury's was rabbit central in their rural part of London, back then.

Without wishing to be pedantic, about your chosen pendanty, the lyric in question was;

'Whaaaaaaaaat, if I died in your arms tonight?'

 

[Tooting Gull]

Palace fans - 'Glad all over'. Have they seen the table?

The Jam, from That's Entertainment

"Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude"

Are they each missing their own individual solitudes? The inference is they are missing some impossible kind of solitude that two people can be in. If it's solitude there can be only one of them in it.

Hotel California

'check in any time you like but you can never leave'

yes you can, you just go out the door you came in

 

[Superphil]

Or if you like, from the same song

"Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning"

Come on Weller, is it cool, or warm? FFS

Hotel California

'check in any time you like but you can never leave'

yes you can, you just go out the door you came in

no you cant because its a ghost house and once you are in you are in effect dead!

only if you believe in ghosts

Sorry to be pedantic about pedantry, the lyrics are actually 'I just died in your arms tonight'

This could go on for a while...

 

[Publius Ovidius]

only if you believe in ghosts

but that is what the song is about

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Without wishing to be pedantic, about your chosen pendanty, the lyric in question was;

'Whaaaaaaaaat, if I died in your arms tonight?'

No, it's "Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight." The next lines are either "Must've been something you said" or "Must've been some kinda dream" depending on which chorus it is, so your version makes even less sense!
