[Music] Songs with nonsensical lyrics

[METALMICKY]

Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak

Love Phil but " tonight there's going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town " . The jail perhaps? FFS!

 

[MACCAPACCA]

Real Gone Kid by Deacon Blue
“Maybe now baby I‘ll do as I should have did“
“All the old photographs I ever got took”
Not even English
But then they were Scottish

 

[1066familyman]

Everything by Sigur Rós, surely

Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak

Love Phil but " tonight there's going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town " . The jail perhaps? FFS!

A more than one prison town perhaps?

 

[The Clamp]

Pretty much anything by Pixies.

Didn’t stop them being one of the best bands of the late 20th century.

 

[The Clamp]

Levitate Me

Pixies


Give me help, give me hell
You can levitate me
Then take off them rings
Off them hose, levitate me
Higher place, levitate me
Elevator lady, elevator lady
Elevator lady, elevator lady
Lady levitate me
If all in all is true, if all in all is true
If all in all is true, if all is true
Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me?
Shaky shake, hey shaky
Levitate me
Come on pilgrim you know he loves you
Levitate me
Higher place
He kicked a baby
Elevator lady, elevator lady
Elevator lady, lady elevator lady
Lady, lady levitate me
If all in all is true, if all in all is true
If all in all is true, if all is true
Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me?
Me, me, me, me


Gibberish.

Anything by the (wonderful) Cocteau Twins.

E.g.

Ruby suns and ruddy
cups of pearly dewdrop's drops
Wakes in our company
Buys the pearly dewdrop's drops

Ruby suns and ruddy
cups of pearly dewdrop's drops
Wakes in our company
Buys the pearly dewdrop's drops

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Taciturn to pillow
To try to turn to...
First, though, I must die
To rip asunder what he saw

Taciturn to pillow
To try to turn to...
First, though, I must die
To rip asunder what he saw

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips...

Oh.....

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Ruby suns and ruddy cups
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
(Will be sun to ruddy, sun to ruddy)
Rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
(Will be sun to ruddy, sun to ruddy)
Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly dew drips soaks

 

[Eeyore]

School assembly songs... Used to annoy me

I can sing a rainbow

'Listen with your eyes'

I may have only been 8, but I knew you didn't listen with your f***ing eyes.

If I had a hammer

'I'd hammer in the morning, I'd hammer in the evening... I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters'

I can assure you that if I went hammering like that there would be no love. I'd be on the end of another hammering from me Mum's slipper.

What do you listen with?

 

[Eeyore]

What do you listen with?

I never listen to anyone.

It should read eyes. So I don't read either.

[Charlie Livesey]

Whiter Shade of Pale ?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The King of Rock and Roll by the dismal Prefab Sprout. I won't dignify it with a link.

One of my favourite bands.
Hot dog, jumping frog
Albuquerque.

You have no soul.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Terrific track but mentalist wank lyrics:
Motor
Power - force - motion - drive
Power - force - motion - drive
Power - force - motion - drive
Power - force - motion - drive
Propaganda
On joyless lanes we walk in lines
a calm but steady flow.
Accompanied by loud commands
our strength is running low.
Another hope feeds another dream
another truth installed by the machine.
A secret wish the marrying of lies
today comes true what common sense denies.
Rotating wheels of destiny inflame the city lights.
Machines call out for followers far out into the night.
The calls of the machines drowning in the steam.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Genesis

"
Give me your eyes that I might see
The blind man kissing my hands etc

Great tune but bollocks lyrics

The Sugar Cubes are meat n drink to this thread

The barometer is falling down, I feel so sultry
Something is simmering and boiling inside me
If I ignore it and squeeze out laughter
I charge up with a typhoon, hurricanes and storms
Einar
I just need the diesel, I just find the smell,
I just sniff it and I can feel the harbour just close by,
I just try to sniff the diesel but I can't, I just can't get enough,
Björk
Theres danger, danger!
A tide with an undertow, the sea is swelling
Impatience makes me foam
A wave inside me forces out big words
They splash and sprinkle
An angry torrent breaking loose, a flush or rushing joy
Einar
The diesel, just makes me feel,
It just fills my veins
I don't know why
it just does
The diesel is so....
Björk
It shouldn't gush out
Einar
It just fills me up
Björk
Don't want it to be fussy
Einar
I can't have a cigarette
Björk
It shouldn't gush out
Einar
It just fills me up
if i have a cigarette, it would make me go boom!
Björk
And I can't help it, I'm exploding again
I'm calling weather stationNnomad
And satellite Nimbus
It's a blizzard inside me, a bomb ticking!
This is the tidal wave
Einar
The diesel!
Björk
Here comes the tidal wave, ho-ho!
Einar
The diesel!
Björk
This is the tidal wave
Einar
The diesel!
Björk
Here comes the tidal wave.
Einar
The diesel is so nice

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Most of David Bowie‘s were non sensical, in the nicest sense. I watched a documentary where he wrote phrases on pieces of paper, cut them up and then reassembled them into random lyrics. The thing is, over time, they work really well. I mean, how else could you come up with a lyric like “it’s on America‘ tortured brow, That Mickey Mouse has has grown up a cow”
