(i copied this from a lyrics page, so it might not be accurate, I think there are are a few few more 'grunts' in there)

 

[Justice]

A police car and a screaming siren
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking
That's entertainment, that's entertainment
A smash of glass and a rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls
That's entertainment, that's entertainment
Days of speed and slow time Mondays
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls
That's entertainment, that's entertainment
Waking up at six am on a cool warm morning
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays
That's entertainment, that's entertainment
Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away
That's entertainment, that's entertainment
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs
That's entertainment, that's entertainment

All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy ******
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
And though they could not produce the gun
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed

Is it worth it?
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
By the women and children
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
Well, I ask you
The boy said, ?Dad, they're going to take me to task
But I'll be back by Christmas?
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The result of this shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks, they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin, once again
It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
When we could be diving for pearls
When we could be diving for pearls

I applied to be on "Stars In Their Eyes" performing that as Robert Wyatt.....I sang it down the phone to them, they listened to his recording, called me back and were dubious, then I explained my stage costume.....

As this is supposed to be about lyrics ‘in’ a song I always liked;

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude

 

[Keith the Kipper]

I can understand why Stranraer lie so lowly , they could save a lot of points by signing Hibs goalie.

On a serious note, anything really Ben Howard writes.

"No man is an island, this I know.
But can't you see?
Maybe you were the ocean, when I was just a stone"

 

[Pevenseagull]

Oh, I just love the kind of woman who can walk over a man
I mean like a god damn marching band
She says, like literally, music is the air she breathes
And the malaprops make me want to ****ing scream
I wonder if she even knows what that word means
Well, it's literally not that

Of the few main things I hate about her, one's her petty, vogue ideas
Someone's been told too many times they're beyond their years
By every half-wit of distinction she keeps around
And now every insufferable convo
Features her patiently explaining the cosmos
Of which she's in the middle

Wow!! HWT's musical taste and mine seldom, if ever, coalesce but on this I am totally at one with him! Superb lyrics, superb song.

Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine
Meltin’ in a pot of thieves
Wild card up my sleeve
Thick heart of stone
My sins my own
They belong to me.

I love these lyrics, they really paint a picture of the era for me

Hemingway, Eichmann, "Stranger in a Strange Land"
Dylan, Berlin, Bay of Pigs invasion
"Lawrence of Arabia", British Beatlemania
Ole Miss, John Glenn, Liston beats Patterson
Pope Paul, Malcolm X, British politician sex
JFK, blown away, what else do I have to say

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Who's the man with the smile mum?

 

[perseus]

Oh, the politicians they look so smug
You say "Tell the truth", they give you a shrug
You might find the truth somewhere under the rug
It's time to ring some changes

I need you more than want you.
And I want you for all time.

 

[Icy Gull]

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'

 

[Easy 10]

I'm serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer

 

[marcos3263]

And have you ever wanted something so badly
That it possessed your body and your soul
Through the night and through the day
Until you finally get it
And then you realize that it wasn't what you wanted after all
And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts
Now go and attach themselves to something or somebody new
And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again.....

The start of the album Dusk by The The, great song, greaty lyrics, great album

 

[hart's shirt]

I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news
