A thread of RUBBISH song lyrics

[e77]

I Am The Walrus doesn't have the most sensible set of lyrics in the world but it is still a great song.

 

[wadhurstseagull]

Gonna write a classic
Gonna write it in an attic
Baby I'm an addict for
An addict for your love.

"Gonna write a classic" - Adrian Gurvitz.


We were far from the bay,
Did we float? I should Say.
Maybe next time we'll leave from the shore.

'Mile out to sea" - Slade

 

[chips and gravy]

There was a song called 'If God was one of us' about ten years ago that had some stupid lyrics. Thankfully I've forgotten most of them but it referred to him being on the phone

 

[Lady Whistledown]

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome...

That one, I believe

 

[Mrs Coach]

Like pebbles on the beach,

Kicked around, displaced by feet (surely this should be feech?)

Paul Weller.

 

[Seagull's Return]

Like pebbles on the beach,

Kicked around, displaced by feet (surely this should be feech?)

Paul Weller.

Another lapse from the immortal Weller (from memory, apologies if it's inaccurate):

"The place I love is overgrown now,
With beautiful moss and colourful flowers,
And goldfish that swim in a pool,
Nearby there's a small brick wall
With neon lighting controlled by lightning"

To be fair, the Mod God was always more comfortable with earnest frowning, tube stations, laddish anthems and the like, but there are one or two of true cringefests on Jam albums ("English Rose" is pretty embarrassing, for example).

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

We can go where we want to
The night is young and so am I
We can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
and surprise 'em with our victory cry!
I say, we can act if we want to
If we don't nobody will
And we can act really rude, like totally removed,
Acting like an Imbecile!

Say, we can dance we can dance
everybody look at your hands!

What is all that about?

Ohhhhh yes, Safety Dance by Men Without Hats



We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine


Wtf

The video was f***ing stupid as well!!

 

[Tooting Gull]

It was a theme she had
On a scheme he had
Told in a foreign land

To take life on earth
To the second birth
And the man was in command

It was a flight on the wings
Of a young girls dreams
That flew too far away

Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself

China in your hand

Come from greed
Never born of the seed
Took life from a barren land
Oh eyes wide
Like a child in the form of man
A prophecy for a fantasy
A castle in his mind

Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself

China in your hand
In your hand, your hand





What's that all about?
