Memorable song lyrics

[Al B. Sure!]

More interesting personifications:

I heard a soft moan in the middle of March
Then I felt a powerful force push me forward like a dart
On your mark, get set, GO!
I was off, flagella was my propellor wigglin back and forth
Then I set a course for the border
Mother Nature's karma callin me to the rock of Gibraltar
The competition tried to be smart, but I was smarter
My competitors were swimmin fast, so I swam harder
Submerged in water, prayin to my heavenly father
If I don't make it through I'm a goner
Screamin out "Death before dishonor,"
Because I'm awesomely stronger, my stamina last longer
I was destined to be a son instead of a daughter
XY is the male chromosomal order
One'll stay alive, and survive, the rest'll be dead
Cause I'ma be the one to fertilize that egg

Yes. That's about sperm.

molly, if you glance over to the music thread you'll see i posted that track, and the a-side TVOD a few weeks ago. did he ever release anything else? i love grace jones' cover of warm leatherette as well.

Hmm, I seem to recall something with Robert Rental, a 1-sided live 12" e.p. I had years ago, but it was 'borrowed'...

It was just the particular phrasing that was amusing

Ah. But we really did get on like the proverbial house on fire. It was like finding a big sister you liked and didn't know you had...

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control.
And she's clinging to the nearest passerby,
She's lost control.
And she gave away the secrets of her past,
And said I've lost control again,
And of a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I've lost control again.

And she turned around and took me by the hand
And said I've lost control again.
And how I'll never know just why or understand
She said I've lost control again.
And she screamed out kicking on her side
And said I've lost control again.
And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die.
She said I've lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.

Well I had to phone her friend to state my case,
And say she's lost control again.
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes,
And said I've lost control again.
But she expressed herself in many different ways,
Until she lost control again.
And walked upon the edge of no escape,
And laughed I've lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.

I could live a little better with the myths and the lies,
When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried.
I could live a little in a wider line,
When the change is gone, when the urge is gone,
To lose control. When here we come.

Joy Division (but again, I really prefer Grace Jones's version...)

and the lovely United :

You and I
You and I
Living together
Loving forever
At our distance
Another for instance
United United
You become me
And I becomy you
She is she
And she is you too
United United
A corresponding game to play
A special way for us to stay
United United
Its a lie
Its the same
It's a sigh
It's a game
Its the why
Its the where and the when we're United
United
You and I You and I
United United
Four faces blending blending blending
Neverending
Our places sending
Shades of evening
You and I You and I United United
Oceans between us
Sky between us
Land between us
Fire between us
We're United United

Can't stop it

United United
You are my Knight
You are my night-night my evening
Its very plain to say
Its a strange system
You miss them
You want to be them
You have to see them
You have to be them
United United
You and me la la la la
You and I
Make ourselves forever together forever and ever
United United
Love is the law
Love is the law
Love is the law
Love is the law
United United United You and I You and I United
TIme will see us
Time will free us
Time will be us
We are everywhere
There is no why
There is no sky anymore
There is just us United
United

hippies are squares with long hair
and they don't wear no underwear
country rock is on the wane
i don't want music, i want pain!

A lot of dark thoughts so I'll interject an old favorite, The Stranglers "ugly"

I Could Have Read
A Poem Called
Ozymandias
To Her Instead
I Lived For The Moment
It Was A Futile
Gesture Anyway
I Was Here
And She Was Here
And Being Broad
Of Minds And Hips
We Did The Only
Thing Possible

I Guess I Shouldn't Have Strangled Her To Death But
I Had To Go To Work And She Had Laced My Coffee With Acid

Normally I Wouldn't Have Minded
But I'm Allergic To Sulphuric Acid
Besides She Had Acne
And If You've Got Acne,
Well,
I Apologise For Disliking It Intensely,
But It's Understandable That Ugly People Have Got Complexes
I Mean It Seems To Me
That Ugly People Don't Have A Chance

It's Only The Children Of The ****ing Wealthy Who Tend To Be Good Looking

An Ugly Fart
Attracts A Good-Looking
Chick
If He's Got Money

An Ugly Fart
Attracts A Good-Looking
Chick If He's Got Money

An Ugly Fart
Attracts A Good-Looking
Chick
If He's Got Money

It's Different For Jews Somehow.

I'd Like To See
A Passionate
Film Between
The Two Ugliest
People In The World.
When I Say Ugly
I Don't Mean Rough Looking
I Mean Hideous.

Don't Tell Me That
Aesthetics Are
Subjective You
Know The Truth
When You See It
Whatever It Is

Muscle Power

King Missile - Detachable Penis

[molly bloom]

A lovely song for a warm sunny Spring evening:

Once we were lovers, can they understand?
Closer than others I was your, I was your man
Don't talk of heartaches, (ohh), I remember them all
When I'm checking you out one day, to see if I'm
Faking it all

Can you hear me?
Can you feel me inside?
Show your love, love
Take it in right (take it in right)
Take it in right (take it in right ahh)

There's been many others (Oo-oo-oo-oohh) so many times
Sixty new cities, an' what do I
What do I find?

I want love so badly, I want you most of all
You know, it's harder to take it from anyone
It's harder to fall
Can you hear me call ya?

Can you (hear me?)
Can you (feel me inside?)
Show your (love, love)
Take it in right (take it in right)
Take it in right (take it in right)

Well, can you hear me? (yeah)
Can you feel me inside (I do)
Show your love, show your sweet,(your love) sweet love
Show me your love

David Bowie

and in a different vein:

A junkie walking through the twilight
I'm on my way home
I left three days ago, but noone seems to know i'm gone
Home is where the hatred is
Home is filled with pain and it,
might not be such a bad idea if i never, never went home again

stand as far away from me as you can and ask me why
hang on to your rosary beads
close your eyes to watch me die
you keep saying, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
God, but did you ever try
to turn your sick soul inside out
so that the world, so that the world
can watch you die

home is where i live inside my white powder dreams
home was once an empty vacuum that's filled now with my silent screams
home is where the needle marks
try to heal my broken heart
and it might not be such a bad idea if i never, if i never went home again
home again
home again
home again
kick it, quit it
kick it, quit it
kick it, quit it
kick it, can't go home again

Gil Scott Heron (also memorably covered by Esther Phillips:
