  1. Warrant..Cherry Pie

    "Swing it in the livin' room, swing it in tha kitchen...most folks don't coz they're too bizzy bitchin'...

    swing it in there coz she wants me to finish, SO I MIXED UP THE BATTER AND SHE LICKED THE BEATER"...

    is this rock n' roll or poetry? i can't tell anymore..such is it's eloquence.
     
  2. it's a personal thing again but these by Dean Friedman are by far the most cringeworthy lyrics for me ever- the rhyming, the content, even the way they are sung :-


    What are you crazy? How in the hell can you say what you just said?
    I was talking to myself. Shut the door and come to bed.
    By the way, I forgot to say, your endearing mother called today.
    Did you see Lisa?
    Yes I saw Lisa.
    Is that why...You're.. angry?
    I wasn't angry.
    Maybe a little.
    Not even maybe.
    Must be the weather.
    Now don't be a baby.
    We'll how am I supposed to feel with all the things you don't reveal and you can thank your lucky stars that we're not as smart as we'd like to think we are.

    Would you like to talk about it?
    There's not much to say.
    We had lunch this afternoon. Her life's in disarray.
    She still goes around as if she is always stumbling off a cliff.
    Do you still want her?
    What are you saying?
    Do you still want her?
    Baby stop playing.
    Really, I mean it. Can you forget her?
    Baby, now stop it. You should know better.
    I know this is hard to do. But, there's no one for me but you and

    You can thank your lucky stars that we're not as smart as we'd like to think we are.

    Baby, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I have no alibis.
    I was acting like a fool and I apologize.
    Listen, hon', I know you're dumb, but that's O.K., you don't have to look so glum.
    Do you still love me?
    Yes, I still love you.
    You mean, you're not just being nice.
    No, I'm not just being nice.
    Do you feel sleepy.
    Aw, you're so sincere. Yes, I feel sleepy.
    Well, slide over here. 'Cause I may not be all that bright, but I know how to hold you tight and,

    You can thank your lucky stars that we're not as smart as we'd like to think we are
     
  3. I'm coming
    I'm coming-yeah

    Relax don't do it
    When you want to go to it
    Relax don't do it
    When you want to come

    Relax don't do it
    When you want to suck to it
    Relax don't do it (love)
    When you want to come
    When you want to come
    When you want to come
    Come-huh

    Get it up
     
  4. Ah yes, that wonderful ditty in celebration of golden showers!
     
  5. Badge - Cream
    "told you not to wander 'round in the dark
    I told you 'bout the swans that they live in the park ????????"

    T Rex - Just about all their lyrics but especially- "I drive a Rolls Royce 'cos it's good for my voice"

  7. I might have known you would beat me to this one Glidd.......

    When I first bought the album Fresh Cream........IE, when it was first released (and I still have it) my old man walked into the room and asked what the song was called...........

    ....I still don't know if it was sarcasm or he was genuinely interested.

  8. Cream.......Disraeli Gears....SWLABR (She walks like a bearded rainbow)

    Coming to me in the morning, leaving me at night.
    Coming to me in the morning, leaving me alone.
    You've got that rainbow feel but the rainbow has a beard.

    Running to me a-cryin' when he throws you out.
    Running to me a-cryin', on your own again.
    You've got that pure feel, such good responses,
    But the picture has a mustache.

    You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face,
    Coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong thing.

    You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face.
    You're coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong thing.

    So many fantastic colors; I feel in a wonderland.
    Many fantastic colors makes me feel so good.
    You've got that pure feel, such good responses.
    You've got that rainbow feel but the rainbow has a beard.
     
  9. She came, she came to meet a man, she found an angel.
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.

    He very wise in the herbal lore 's got young cure now.
    She came, she came to free the pain with his wild flower.

    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.

    Fine fine, fine fine Acelandine be prepared for her.
    Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned.

    In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle.
    The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind
    Sorrow more distant than a star.
    Multi colour run down over your body,
    Then the liquid passing all into all
    Love is hot truth is molten.

    True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked
    Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked.
    He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze
    She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang:

    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.

    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.

    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name,
    Was my name, was my name,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.

    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now,
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.

    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.
    Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal
     
  10. Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
    They didn't want to; 'twas all they had got.
    Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
    And pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet.

    Sadly they left, telling no one goodbye.
    Pressed rat wore red jodhpurs, warthog a striped tie.
    Between them, they carried a three-legged sack,
    Went straight round the corner and never came back.

    Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
    The bad captain madman had told them to stop
    Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
    And pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet.

    The bad captain madman had ordered their fate.
    He laughed and stomped off with a nautical gate.
    The gate turned into a deroga tree
    And his pegleg got woodworm and broke into three.

    Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
    They didn't want to; 'twas all they had got.
    Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
    And pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet.
     
  11. What I want to know is:
    Do terrible poems become acceptable if they are set to music? Why?
     
  12. Uh-oh...I'd forgotten this song but re-reading the lyrics, I think they're pretty clever! :-(
     
  13. I have the winner.

    From the 80's classic ABC, "That was then, but this is now" the AMAZING lyric: "Can't complain, musn't grumble
    Help yourself to another peace of apple crumble"

    See, THAT'S cringeworthy! :)
     
  14. Mike Oldfield - Moonlight Shadow

    "4AM in the morning..." - as opposed to?
     
  15. "Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
    May by thy mighty aid,
    Victory bring.
    May he sedition hush,
    and like a torrent rush,
    Rebellious Scots to crush,
    God save the King."

    The rest of that song is pretty naff, too. I prefer the US o̶r̶i̶g̶i̶n̶a̶l̶ c̶o̶v̶e̶r̶ original version.
     
  16. I don't want to start another thread about Best Lyrics.

    But the opening line to Warren Zevons song Wherewolves In London

    'I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
    Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain'

    Genius, pure genius.

  17. MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
    All the sweet, green icing flowing down
    Someone left the cake out in the rain
    I don't think that I can take it
    'cause it took so long to bake it
    And I'll never have that recipe again
    Oh, nooooo
     
  18. Fairies wear boots and you'd better believe it....
     
  19. Come on....I'm educating you.......:wink:

    The stars up above that play with laughing sam's dice
    They make us feel the world was made for us
    The zodiac glass that bleams come through the skies
    It will happen soon, for you

    And a way we go
    Yeah
    Thank you very much
    Thank you very much
    And now we would like to bring to you our wide lonely freindly neighborhood
    Experience me
    Right now listen
    The milky way express is loaded, all aboard
    I promise each and every one fo you you won't be bored
    What i'm really concerned about
    Is my grand-new pair of butterfly roller skates
    Thank you, thank you

    No throwing cigarette butts out the window
    No throwing cigarette butts out the window
    Now if you look to your right you'll se saturn
    If you look to the left you'll see mars
    I hope your brought your parachutes with you
    Hey look out!
    Look out for that door
    Don't open that door
    Don't open that door
    Oh well
    That's the way it goes
    Hey, everything is all right now
