Unusual Song Lyrics

[Groucho]

I want a cup of tea, I want a cup of tea, I want a cup of tea.

But first I need a wee.

That's like 6pm-10pm in ours

 

[Jamo Martinez]

One of my fave ever lyrics is 'Consolation prize' by Orange Juice. It's unusual in that it's so frigging brilliant.

Edwin Collins- Genius

I wore my fringe like Roger McGuinn's
I wore it hoping to impress
So frightfully camp it made you laugh
Tomorrow I'll buy myself a dress
How Ludicrous

 

[gonetomorrow]

I want a cup of tea.

Leonard Cohen - First we take Manhattan...

They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those
Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I don't like your fashion business mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I am guided
Ah remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

"Sharpening up your beach umbrella
Whilst you're watch Tee Veeeeee!"

 

[larbert toffee]

Flying domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near do not show any fear
Heartbeat increasing heartbeat
You are a khaki-coloured bombadier it's Hiroshima that you're nearing
This town ain't big enough for both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave.

I Am The Walrus

I am he
As you are he
As you are me
And we are all together

See how they run
Like pigs from a gun
See how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee shirt
Stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, you been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long

I am the eggman (Ooh)
They are the eggmen, (Ooh)
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Mister city p'liceman sitting pretty
Little p'licemen in a row
See how they fly
Like Lucy in the sky
See how they run
I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

I am the eggman (Ooh)
They are the eggmen (Ooh)
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Sitting in an English
Garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get a tan from standing in the English rain

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob g' goo goo g' joob

Expert texpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile
Like pigs in a sty, see how they snied
I'm crying

Semolina pilchards
Climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Element'ry penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe

I am the eggman (Ooh)
They are the eggmen (Ooh)
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' joob
G' goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' joob, goo goo g' goo g' goo goo g' joob joob
Joob joob...

I want my hol, I want my hol, I want my hol.......idays.

An absolute classic right here

Daddy wouldn't buy for me a bow-wow, bow-wow,
Daddy wouldn't buy for me a bow-wow-wow!
I've got a little cat,
I suppose I'm fond of that,
But I'd rather have a bow-wow-wow!

Then I asked my Daddy for a moo-cow, moo-cow,
Then I asked my Daddy for a moo-moo-cow!
But tho' she'd give us cream,
My request made Daddy scream,
So there won't be any moo-moo-cow!

Guess my Daddy won't get me a bow-wow, bow-wow,
Guess my Daddy won't get me a moo-moo-cow!
So with my little cat,
I will have to learn to chat,
Now all day I just say "Meow, meow,

 

[efcjames]

She was a girl from Birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was a case of insanity
Her name was Pauline she lived in a tree

She was a no-one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
She was an animal
She was a bloody disgrace

Body I'm not an animal
Body I'm not an animal

Dragged on a table in a factory
Illegitimate place to be
In a packet in a lavatory
Die little baby screaming

Body screaming bloody mess
Not an animal it's an abortion

Body I'm not an animal
Mummy I'm an abortion

Throbbing squirm, gurgling bloody mess
I'm not a discharge
I'm not a loss in protein
I'm not a throbbing squirm

Ah! this and that
it all and out of the [Poor language removed] brat
She don't wanna a baby that looks like that
I don't wanna a baby that looks like that.

Body I'm not an animal
Body, an abortion

Body I'm not an animal
Body I'm not an animal
An animal
I'm not an animal
I'm not an animal, an animal, an-an-an animal
I'm not a body
I'm not an animal, an animal, an-an-an animal
I'm not an animal
Mummy! Ugh!

'what she gonna look like with a chimney on her"

 

[hibbo'sclass]

Give me crack
And anal sex
Take the only tree that's lef
Shove it up the hole of your culture

Destroy another foetus now
I don't like children anyhow
I seen the future baby
It is murder


Couple of highlights from The Future by Leonard Cohen.
