Best Rhyming Couplet in a Song

[summerisle]

I particularly like the Wordsworthian quality of Squeeze's magnus opus - Up the Junction

"I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
Out on the windy common
That night I ain't forgotten"

 

[degsy]

Ian Dury Billericay Dickie

Had a love affair with Nina
In the back of my Cortina
A seasoned-up hyena
Could not have been more obscener

She took me to the cleaners
And other misdemeanours
But I got right up between her
Rum and her Ribena

 

[Thomasc]

ABC - That was Then, this is now.

“Can’t complain, mustn’t grumble, help yourself to another piece of apple crumble”

I 5hit you not.

 

[NeilMorepies]

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses

Warpigs - Sir Oswald of Osbourne

In the back of my Cortina
A seasoned-up hyena
Could not have been more obscener

She took me to the cleaners
And other misdemeanours
But I got right up between her
Rum and her Ribena

I'm singing that to the tune of Up the Junction. lol

 

[Eggs]

….Cat Stevens, Father & Son;

But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Crass - Bloody Revolutions

Oppression and restriction, regulation, rule and law
The seizure of that power is all your revolution's for

You romanticize your heroes, quote from Marx and Mao
Well their ideas of freedom are just oppression now

Nothing changed for all the death, that their ideas created
It's just the same fascistic games, but the rules aren't clearly stated

 

[Huyton Layne]

Des'ree - Life

I'm afraid of the dark
'Specially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

I think this is a pretty good attempt at song writing for an 8 year old. Oh wait, she was a 30 year old making her 3rd album nvm then.

 

[PITA]

Out of woman comes the man
Spend the rest of his life getting back when he can

 

[COYBL25]

I first felt a kick and then a kick
I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs and too many right wing meetings
My life swam around me
It look and drowned me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather
It blended in with the weather
It filled my ears, nose and mouth
It blocked all my senses

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Des'ree - Life

I'm afraid of the dark
'Specially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

I think this is a pretty good attempt at song writing for an 8 year old. Oh wait, she was a 30 year old making her 3rd album nvm then.

Heard that today on Retro, the Czech music channel, the doo doop be doo, will stay in my head for at least a month.

Kravitz "I wish that I could fly into the sky, so very high just like a dragonfly"

 

[PhilM]

The Game once said... "I told Pooh in 95, I'll kill you if you try me for my Air Max 95's" Genius, aye.

 

[Moomin]

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly (woo)

 

[Moomin]

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly (woo)

Sorry, That's I believe I can fly by Metallica.
