Lyrics of pure GENIUS that trip off the tongue...

[Easy 10]

Lets start with this little beauty...

You’ve got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line
They’ll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
Theres only one way to beat them
Get round the back
Catch me if you can
Cos’ I’m the england man
And what you’re looking at
Is the master plan
We ain’t no hooligans
This ain’t a football song
Three lions on my chest
I know we can’t go wrong


Say it like Johnny. Go on, you KNOW you want to

 

[Silent Bob]

Change my pitch up.
Smack my bitch up.

 

[Pavilionaire]

"What she said
All heady books she'd sit and prophesy
It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead
To really really open her eyes"

"What She Said" by The Smiths

 

[Pevenseagull]

dylan:

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift

 

[johnnyjetlag]

Spot of Floyd...

"New car, caviar, 4 star daydream, think'll buy me a football team!"

 

[El Presidente]

He thinks that I'm a cabbage
Cos I hate University Challenge

He always beats me at Subbuteo
Cos me flicked to kick and I didn't know

[Cian]

Been beaten to the New Order (although I think Keith Allen wrote Barnsey's words in that song)

Second verse of This Time Of Night will do for me:

Now you must decide
What good's a lie when you've nothing to hide
The marks they'll never show
They're dumb like you, they never know
It's time we said goodbye
Bury your head and silence your cry
Know the feel of pain
Join our world and play our game

Doesn't make an ounce of sense, but no New Order lyrics do, but they seem to be the most fluid of the lot of them.

New Order nonsense that sends shivers down my spine:

Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before

 

[SussexSpur]

Dylan again:

'My love, she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing'

Not really sure what it means, thinking about it, but it sounds lovely.

Also, know he's not seen as much of a lyricist, but Macca deserves plenty of kudos for...
'Waiting to keep the appointment she made.
Meeting a man from the... motor trade...'

 

[johnnyjetlag]

Bit of beatles:

"Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see.
It’s getting hard to be someone.
But it all works out,
It doesn’t matter much to me.
Let me take you down,
‘Cos I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real
And there's nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever."

 

[MattBackHome]

"Herman plays his guitar down the phone,
Herman's never leaving her alone.
Herman hoovered in her living room.
Her brother laughed, it ended all too soon."

From the epochal 'Herman' by the one and only Sunburst; circa 1996.

Signed copies of Sunburst - The First Cut on C90 audiotape are now changing hands for upwards of 50p on eBay.

Na na na...na na ni na na...na na na..na na ni na na........

Or if Kyle's thoughtful lyrics aren't your flavour gravy......

TWAT

Like a Night Club in the morning, you’re the bitter end.
Like a recently disinfected shit-house, you’re clean round the bend.
You give me the horrors
too bad to be true
All of my tomorrow’s
are lousy coz of you.
You put the Shat in Shatter
Put the Pain in Spain
Your germs are splattered about
Your face is just a stain

You’re certainly no raver, commonly known as a drag.
Do us all a favour, here... wear this polythene bag.

You’re like a dose of scabies,
I’ve got you under my skin.
You make life a fairy tale... Grimm!

People mention murder, the moment you arrive.
I’d consider killing you if I thought you were alive.
You’ve got this slippery quality,
it makes me think of phlegm,
and a dual personality
I hate both of them.

Your bad breath, vamps disease, destruction, and decay.
Please, please, please, please, take yourself away.
Like a death a birthday party,
you ruin all the fun.
Like a sucked and spat our smartie,
you’re no use to anyone.
Like the shadow of the guillotine
on a dead consumptive’s face.
Speaking as an outsider,
what do you think of the human race

You went to a progressive psychiatrist.
He recommended suicide...
before scratching your bad name off his list,
and pointing the way outside.

You hear laughter breaking through, it makes you want to fart.
You’re heading for a breakdown,
better pull yourself apart.

Your dirty name gets passed about when something goes amiss.
Your attitudes are platitudes,
just make me wanna piss.

What kind of creature bore you
Was is some kind of bat
They can’t find a good word for you,
but I can...
TWAT.

No no no no
No no no
No no no
No no no

The Wonder Stuff's "No for the 13th Time". Such lyrical genius Miles.

2 Unlimited later ruined it of course.

"Herman plays his guitar down the phone,

Continuing the Herman theme, Herman Loves Pauline by the Super Furry Animals..

Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann
They made love and gave birth to a little German
They call him MC? because he raps like no other
An asthma sufferer like Ernesto Guevara
Too much Monte Cristo Number Four
Pass the ventolin I need some more....

 

[king Wombat]

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

 

[Napper]

we are the boys in the old brighton blue. . .

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I never know when I m wasting my time
but I guess I am with you
you took advantage when I was feeling so low
I thought I had a future with you

[The Auditor]

He thinks that I'm a cabbage
Cos I hate University Challenge

He always beats me at Subbuteo
Cos me flicked to kick and I didn't know

The undertones ..what band
