why all the bleedin’ english? How about:

Wham! Bam! Mon chat ‘Splash’
Gît sur mon lit, à bouffé sa langue
En buvant tronc mon whisky
Quant à moi, peu dormi, vidé, brimé
J’ai du dormir dans la gouttière
Où j’ai eu un flash
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! En quatre couleurs

Actually here’s one I really do like:

Si yo fuera Maradona
Viviría como él

(“If I was Maradona, I would live just like him”. I don’t speak Spanish.)

Nice to see some Trouble Gum references here. Some belters on that album.

I remember putting it on in my mums car for the first play and seeing her face when it went:

“I’m gunna get drunk, come round and **** you up”

Oh they joys of teenhood.

I met this girl she looked like Axl Rose,
Got drunk,took her home and we slept in our clothes

(This one was written some time ago. Obviously.)

‘Too many Florence Nightingales not enough Robin Hoods …’

“In France a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name”
Sign of the Times, Prince

“Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again”
The Sound of Silence, Simon and Garfunkel

I think jimi won this in the 60s! 😆

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand!

Please……….

Reminds me of a bar I used to go in in Abergavenny

😀

‘The screen door slams
Mary’s dress waves’
Sorry to be pedantic surfer, but this needs to be right………

the opening line in plaistow patricia — ian drury and blockheads — can’t post it as it is deemed against the filters

Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

I first heard this late one night, I think it might have been Janis Long playing it, and it was Tori Amos covering it, from one of her EP’s.
It sent cold shivers all over me, I’d never heard it before, and it has particular resonance with the events taking place in Charlotte now.
The original is Strange Fruit, by Billie Holliday, for anyone not familiar with it.

“inflammation of the foreskin reminds me of your smile”
The sexually transmitted diseases love song, by Eric Idle : one of the great but underrated british songwriters

my favourite Elvis lyric
“She wears a wedding ring her sister left to throw them off the scent”

‘They say don’t look to heaven because it’s just too far away, well I’ve heard it’s just like here except beauty don’t decay’

“Is she really going out with him?”
and
“Hello.Hello.Hello – HaHaHa”

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life, cause its one we’ll never know.

I was five and he was six…

Nancy Sinatra’s Bang Bang

There’s the whole of life in that song

‘Sabbath are taking WAY too much coke, this is going to get messy’. Which it did.
Yeah but what a mess! Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener is off the scale brilliant isn’t it?

Yea, I suspect if you could list every track you’ve ever listened to on ‘number of plays – highest to lowest’, wheels of confusion would probably be top for me. Volume 4 would probably do the same for the album list…

They went too far though, if they’d kept to Volume 4 levels of wastedness they might not have produced this:

“Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again”
The Sound of Silence, Simon and Garfunkel

Oooft, I’d forgotten that one. Classic.

“You’ve been on my mind, like a tumour, eating away at my every thought.”

You’ve painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tainted hair…
:Kenny rogers Ruby dont take your love to town.

Daddy? Yes son? what does regret mean? Well son, a funny thing about regret is..its better to regret something that you have done than something you havent done, and by the way..if you see your mom this weekend be sure and tell her.. satan! satan! satan! :Butthole surfers Sweat loaf

Kick out the jams, m********ers !
Yeah! I, I, I, I, I’m gonna
I’m gonna kick ’em out ! Yeah !

Oi you get your own suggestions. [/quote]

Indeed, you really should (mother****er)…

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people’s heads a roll

Never more appropriate than since Trump came to power. He makes the person I assume was the original subject of the ditty seem quite tame…

As boys we **** each other. as men we lie and smile;

Bonnie Prince Billy – New Tibet

For the impact:

Straight outta Compton, crazy motherf**ker named Ice Cube

I guess I should of known
By the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn’t last

I like bouncing boing boing boing
Up and down until I get a pain in me groin

“Is she really going out with him?”

Well the opening line is “Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street” – which is pretty good.

How about “Arseholes, bastards, ****ing ****s and pricks” – Ian Dury, Plaistow Patricia (EDIT – just spotted it had previously been mentioned).

or

“I love a good bum on a woman it makes my day” – Jake Thackray, On Again, On Again.

Ooh, another one

“Many well dressed people in several locations are kissing quite a bit”.

Well the opening line is “Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street”

*Shakes head*

Need to read up on your punk grandad.

Ah, there’s still a generation gap then?

Woke Up This Morning, Put On My Sunday Shoes. Don’t Ask Me Why, It’s Just The Nature Of My Groove. …

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red

Would you put on that long white gown
And burn like there’s no more tomorrows?

Hello don’t you know me
I’m the dirt beneath your feet

Ah, The Wind cries Mary. Sublime.

“Déjà Vu”

If I had been God
I would have rearranged the veins in the face to make them more resistant to alcohol and less prone to aging[/quote]

Roger Waters

I am angry, I am ill and I’m ugly as sin,
My irritabilty keeps me alive and kicking

OK another Jake Thackray one:

Breasts and thighs that hypnotise me,
Galvanise me, so agonisingly,
But such a size that, not surprisingly,
She can hardly move at all.

Pretty inappropriate given recent events but I always liked;

This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd

Well the opening line is “Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street”
*Shakes head*

Need to read up on your punk grandad.

Punk? He may be slow but the old codger is right!

When I was a young boy My mama said to me
“There’s only one girl in the world for you And she probably lives in Tahiti.”

Punk? He may be slow but the old codger is right!

He was once almost nibbled to death by an Okapi.
That kind of thing leaves scars.

Then there’s the scabies…..

Strolling along minding my own business
Well there goes a girl and a half
She’s got me going up and down

Somewhere, there’s a country you remember from your youth

Imagine there’s no heaven , it’s easy if you try.
No hell below us , above us only sky

Don’t pay the ferryman
Don’t even fix a price
Don’t pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
