Don't know about anyone else but I rarely listen to the words of a song, as in I listen to the whole thing as a narrative. Most songs, even great songs often end up pretty vacuous. But every now and then a particular line or phrase hits a cord and it makes a connection, be it in a meaningful, comical, emotional even nostalgic way. I mean I can forgive The Eagles' 'Hotel California' for being one of the most overplayed songs around for the line " ...you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave...". Sums up Thailand at times.
My favourite of the moment is in my signature.
Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand
Mine is more or less there as well. Has been since day one.Well not day one. Took a couple of months to figure out the avatar. The signature was a couple of weeks later.
Too long in Exile, too long not singing my song.
Too long like a rolling stone, Too long in exile
Too long in Exile, baby you just arent my friend.
Too long in Exile my friend, Baby you can never go home again.
"Life is what's happening to you while you're busy making other plans"
"When you lost in the rain, and it's Easter time too"
"Don't think it's likely to happen
Like the sound of one hand clapping"

You're a lead singer in a rock 'n' roll band,
you're poor,
you're stoned,
you're a slave to an unnameable half-forgotten ambition,
you're just another guy on the lost highway
a ramblin' man,
a pirate of love,
rider on the range,
a seventh son of a seventh son,
a love rustler,
a desperado,
a bastard right royal historically entitled to be bad,
the man in black
john da conkeroo
the world's forgotten boy
meat man,
mr blues,
the velvet fog,
the silver fox,
the little cloud that cried,
the best dressed chicken in town...
Rock'n'Roll Is Where I Hide - Dave Graney
"Now some men 'll drive to the edges of nothin'
so they can take a peek at the great abyss.
Some men avoid love like it was the plague, or somethin'
so they can leave the seat down when they piss."

Time flies by when you’re a driver of a train
Speeding into Trumpton with a cargo of cocaine
I get high when I’m the pilot of a plane
Touching down in Camberwick and stoned out of my brain
Under bridges, over bridges, to our destination
Careful with that spliff Eugene, it causes condensation
Every Saturday I get the Chigley skins
And they always smash my windows ‘cos the home side always wins
Yeah, time flies by when you’re a driver of a train
Gonna get these syringes out and crank up once again
Under bridges over bridges to our destination
Careful with that spliff Eugene it causes condensation
and
Unemployments rising In the chigley end of town,
And it's speading like pneumonia doesn't look like going down.
There's trouble at the fire station someone's had the sack,
And the lads are going to launch a scheme to get rid of Captain Flak.
Tell PC McGarry to get himself a mate,
And arm themselves with CS gas - they're going to be out late.
We've had cant conformism since 1966,
And now subversions in the air in the shape of flying bricks.
Chorus:
Someone get a message through to Captain Snort
That they better start assembling the boys from the fort.
And keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,
'Cos there's gonna be riot down in Trumpton Tonight.
All this aristocracy has really got to stop'
We could overthrow the surgery and kidnap Dr Mopp.
The Chippy Minton Socialists could storm the market square,
And make plans to assasinate our aristocratic mayor!
Windy Millitant leads his Basque like corngrinders to war,
With windmill sails and bombs with nails they smash the town hall door.
But Snorty and the boys arrive with one big erstwhile crew,
Whereupon they bring about a military coup.

Thirtieth time I've posted this but:
Son I'm nearly thirty, I only went with your Mother 'cos she's dirty...and I don't have a decent bone in me....hum hum hum!
And the classic: 'Cos Jesus is a cunt!
And all of the lyrics to Going Down!
Dawn sings in the garden
Phone sings in the hall
This boys dead from two days life
Resurrected by the call
Penny here weve got to come
So come on round to me
Theres so much penny lying here
To touch, taste and tease
Ring a ding ding ding Im going down
Im coming round
Pennys place her crummy room
Her dansette crackles to jimis tune
I dont care I taste ambre solaire
Her neck her thighs her lips her hair
Ring a ding ding ding Im going down
Im coming around
All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
Thirty minutes brings me round to her number nine
Yeah she looks like a painting
Jackson pollocks number five
Come into the forest and taste the trees
The sun starts shining and Im hard to please
Ring a ding ding ding Im going down
Im coming around
All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
Thirty minutes brings me round to her number nine
To look down on the clouds
You dont need to fly
Ive never flown in a plane
Ill live until I die
Riddle me this brother can you handle it
Your style to my style you can't hold a candle to it
Equinox symmetry and the balance is right
Smokin' and drinkin' on a Tuesday night
It's not how you play the game it's how you win it
I cheat and steal and sin and I'm a cynic
Happy Mondays 'kinky afro' and The roses. QualityOriginally Posted by kenkannif
I like many but 'I crashed down on the cross bar and the pain was enough to make a shy bald bhuddist reflect and plan a mass murder' is pretty good
as is '..and now you make me feel so ashamed because I've only got two hands'
Oh and Spiritualised's Think I'm In Love has some classics lines in it (can't be bothered to Google it though).
'Throw your shitty drawers in the hamper
Next time come strapped with a f'in pamper'
gza, wu tang clan 'clan in da front'
If we're on the rap/hip hop tip....I'll go for Skeelo's:
I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller...I wish I had a girl and if I did then I would call her!!!
Classic!!!
Damn, Slim I was saving that for later
And the Squeeze's....I got a job with Stanley, he'd said I'd come in handy, he started me on Monday so I had a bath on Sunday!!! (not sure if I'm spot on with these).
^ thats from squeeze up the junction 'this morning at 4.50, i took her rather nifty, down to an incubator, where 30 minutes later, she gave birth to a daughter, within a year a walker, she looked just like a mother, if there could be another'
And:
give me a story and give me a bed
give me possessions
oh love luck and money they go to my head like wildfire
it's good to have something to live for you'll find
live for tomorrow
live for a job and a perfect behind, high time
England my country the home of the free, such miserable weather
but England's as happy as England can be
why cry
