| Shane is playing with the Popes in Glasgow as part of Celtic Connections. I am thinking of going, although it might be an idea to be a decent distance from the stage! |

Uh oh, a Red Hot Chili Peppers reference. I'm embarrassed to recognize it, frankly.
"Down All The Days" is an excellent song, and the vapid lyrics really is a plus to the song, in my view. It's alliteration for alcoholics, which I'm in favor of.
Nothing could be worse than Olivia Newton'John telling us that "I love you/I honestly love you".
Personally, I offer two gems from Ween "Nan":
finders keepers
losers weepers
if i could get the lid off
i'd look inside the jar
is this the best i can do?
it ain't done me no good so far
And, "She Fucks Me" (which sounds great in concert, with Gene stressing "me" as if she can only fuck "me" and nobody else):
I met her at the Living Earth Show.
She crossed the room, the lights sank low.
We're together, she really digs me.
She fucks me.
Who would think I could be so happy?
When I'm cold, I know she's keepin' me warm.
We're together, she really digs me.
She fucks me.
She's in my arms, she's in my heart , yeah.
Pins and needles up and down my spine.
We're together, she really digs me now.
She fucks me.
She fucks me. |

who's your dady, who's your baby, who's your honey, who's your man?
I forget that fuck's name.
And that new Bon Jovi song:
that goes "I" over and over again.
Like "I, still can't write a decent song"
I keep thinking that dude's going to find a clue but it never happens.

I found the ABC song I referred to above (think apple crumble). it is a masterwork:
Written by:
Fry/White/Singleton
Produced by:
ABC with Gary Langan
Released:
September '83
Why make the past your sacred cow?
I guess you've changed, you've changed and how
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Fruit's grown rotten on the bough
Reap what you sow, with a counterfeit plough
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That was then but this is now
More sacrifices than an Aztec priest
Standing here straining at that leash
All fall down
Can't complain, musn't grumble
Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble
And consequently:
Hearts of oak are charged and blistered
Russians should be baby-sitted
Americans enlisted
That was then but this is now
That was then but this is now
That was then but this is now

Shoot that poison arrow! My, that's dreadful. Yeah, yeah,yeah.
Haven't checked out this thread in a while--poor old Shane. I was going to attempt to defend "Down All the Days," but once you see it in print, it is kind of indefensible.
I submit the Proclaimers for the forced-rhyme-scheme award of the day:
I could tell the meaning of a word like serene
I got some O grades when I was sixteen
I can tell the difference between margarine and butter
I can say "Saskatchewan" without starting to stutter

I think in that very same Proclaimers' song it says:
I can understand why Stranraer lie so lowly
They could save a lot of points by signing Hibs goalie |

Stranraer are a very poor football (soccer) team. Hibs had a goalkeeper at that point who was very good - tragically he signed for Rangers (think Waffen SS).
I remember the Proclaimers used the Scots word 'haver' ('I'll be the man who havers next to you') and some in the US thought that it meant vomit (verb) |

I should have known it involved sport in some way--equally incomprehensible to me! ;-)
Hey, what does "haver" mean? Now I have to know! |

| It means to 'blether' (another Scots word!!!!!!!) - I suppose to talk/chat aimlessly... 'And when I talk bollocks, I will be the man who talks bollocks next to you' |

My friend Alex has come up with the following:
She's a dancer, a romancer, I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer (KISS) |

Another from Alex: trooper anyone?
Below, the lyrics to "The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car" - a true Canadian classic:
Here they come
The boys in the bright white sports car
Waving their arms in the air
Who do they think they are
And where did they get that car
There they go
The boys in the bright white sports car
Honking at all the girls
It's jack-of-all-trades Stan
And Jerry the garbage man
There they go
The boys are really rollin'
Some old lady called the cops
Said the car is probably stolen, stolen
There they go
The boys are really rollin'
Some old lady called the cops
Said the car is probably stolen, stolen
Here they come
The boys in the bright white sports car
Waving their arms in the air
Who do they think they are
And where did they get that car

The name Alex reminded me of.. Alex Chilton/Big Star
Big Star has some fantastic songs, but the lyrics are always just awful.
Like on 'Mod Lang'..
I can't be satisfied
What you want me to do
So I moan, had to leave my home
Love my girl, ooh yeh
She got to save my soul
I want a witness, I want to testify
How long can this go on
All night long I was howling
I was a barking dog
*Take a bite of the chocolate coffin. |

The wonders of Kiss:
C'MON AND LOVE ME
She's a dancer, a romancer
I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer
She saw my picture in a music magazine
When she met me, said she'd get me
Touched her hips and told me that she'd let me
I took her hand, baby
This is what I said
I said baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Bady won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
Come on and love me
I'm a man, I'm no baby
And you're lookin' ev'ry inch a lady
You're good lookin' and you're lookin' like you should be good
You were distant, now you're nearer
I can feel your face inside the mirror
The lights are out and I can feel you, baby, with my hands
So baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Bady won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Bady won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me

Yeah, alright. But I'm not doing the whole thing--it's got like ten verses! Imagine a duet, if you will.
HOT PANTS EXPLOSION (B-52s)
You know what I say to your hot pants?
Say what?
Say get on down! Ahahahahaha!
I'm in shippin', if you're receivin'
'Cause what I see I ain't believin'
The longest legs in the shortest pants
You got me doin' a matin' dance
Pant pant!
You got me pantin' like a dog
Pant pant!
Ooo I'm a hot pants hot dog!
You burned a hole in my mind
When I saw your cute behind
Wearin' those hot pants
Hot pants hot pants hot pants
Sap's up spring's on the rise
I'm bustin' out my tube top tonight
Workin' the night shift, I get off at three
Breakin' out of that factory
Thunder thighs hangin' out!
Moon beams, dancin' about!
If you would be so kind
Put on those red hot pants and take a
Stroll through my mind
Hot pants explosion
At the factory
Ooo I seen London and I seen France
But I never saw nothin' so hot as you
In your hot pants!
[Repeat until very tired. My favorite phrase from the song is "Supercalifragiwhattaoutfit you got on!"]

I wanna be a hippy, but i forgot how to love,
Its hard to be a garbage man, when a sailor stole my glove,
I wanna be reckless, but i'm feeling so uptight,
Put your mama in a headlock baby, and do it right,

| Riding in the car with my best friend the other day we stumbled across CHERRY BOMB on the radio by John Cougar AKA Johnny Cougar Mellencamp AKA John Mellencamp. With the classic line "when grooving was grooving". As the b-friend said "when was grooving NOT grooving?" |

Poor Mickey Finn died last week - RIP. As a fitting tribute, savour the following - Bolan's tribute to a female lighthouse keeper with Parkinson's Disease?
T-REX LYRICS
Hot Love
Well she's my woman of gold
And she's not very old aa-ha
Well she's my woman of gold
And she's not very old aa-ha
I don't mean to be bold
But may I hold your hand?
Well she ain't no witch
And I love the way she twitch aa-ha
Well she ain't no witch
And I love the way she twitch aa-ha
I'm a labourer of love
In my Persian gloves aa-ha
Well she's faster than most
And she lives on the coast aa-ha
Well she's faster than most
And she lives on the coast aa-ha
I'm her two-penny prince
And I give her hot love aa-ha
Well she ain't no witch
And I love the way she twitch aa-ha
Well she ain't no witch
And I love the way she twitch aa-ha
I'm her two-penny prince
And I give her hot love aa-ha
La la la la la la la la

No doubt the worst lyrics ever written are these:
BEATLES
"Love Me Do"
Love, love me do.
You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.
Love, love me do.
You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.
Someone to love,
Somebody new.
Someone to love,
Someone like you.
Love, love me do.
You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.
Love, love me do.
You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.
Yeah, love me do.
Whoa, oh, love me do.
¿Qué has hecho, maldita mora?
¿En quién me vengo yo ahora? |

I have the ultimate, these lyrics are awful:
He was a boy
She was a girl
Can i make it any more obvious
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can i say
He wanted her
She'd never tell secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes
He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
5 years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone
She turns on tv
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin up MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got
Tickets to see his show
She tags along
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down
He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamming on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see,
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy
And Im just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock eachothers world
I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
I don't care if her 'drummer' 'likes' 'the' 'pixies' 'thats' 'awful' |

We have traveled to the moon, unlocked the secrets of the atom, and wrote shit like this:
Step inside
(Walk this way)
You and me babe
(Hey, hey!)
(Huh!) hey!
(Huh!) hey!
(Huh!) hey!
Huh!
Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?
(Be your man)
Hey!
(Huh!)
Hey!
Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah
Hey!
C'mon
Take a bottle
Shake it up
Break the bubble
Break it up
(Pour some sugar on me)
Ooh, in the name of love
(Pour some sugar on me)
C'mon fire me up
(Pour your sugar on me)
Oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet from my head to my feet yeah
(Huh!) Hey!
(Huh!) Hey!
(Huh!) Hey!
(Huh!)
Listen!
Red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
(Loosen up)
I loosen up
You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little, tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah
(Yeah!)
Give a little more
Take a bottle
Shake it up
Break the bubble
Break it up
(Pour some sugar on me)
Ooh, in the name of love
(Pour some sugar on me)
C'mon fire me up
(Pour your sugar on me)
Oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet from my head to my feet yeah
(You got the peaches, I got the cream)
Sweet to taste
(Saccharine)
'Cos I'm hot
(Hot!)
So hot
Sticky sweet from my head
(Head!)
My head
(Head to my feet)
To my feet
Do you take sugar?
One lump or two?
Take a bottle
(Take a bottle)
Shake it up
(Shake it up)
Break the bubble
Break it up
(Break it up)
(Pour some sugar on me)
Ooh, in the name of love
(Pour some sugar on me)
C'mon fire me up
(Pour your sugar on me)
Oh, I can't get enough
(Pour some sugar on me)
Oh, in the name of love
(Pour some sugar on me)
Get all, come get it
(Pour your sugar on me)
Ooh
(Pour some sugar on me)
Yeah!
Sugar me!
Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night?????????
