Everyone in Nacogdoches just knew Tom Ames
would come to some bad end
Well the sheriff had caught him stealing chickens and such
by the time that he was ten
Well one day his daddy took a ten dollar bill
and he tucked in his hand
He said "I can tell you're headed for trouble son
and your momma wouldn't understand"
Well he took the money and his brother's old bay
and left without a word of thanks.
He fell in with a crowd in some border town
and took to robbing banks.
Might be pushing 'opening lyric', but it's ace nonetheless
35 dollars and a six-pack to my name! SIX PACK!!
The moment I wake up,
Before I put on my makeup...
Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red...
A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
Bless my cotton socks, I'm in the news
Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax,
"I am a lineman for the county"
Topical, but probably would have been my choice anyway.
The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café

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.

"the trouble with your brother, he's always sleeping with your mother.
and you know your sister's missed her time again this month."
Philip Duke of Anjou
Now I'm happy to kneel beside you
To witness the burden you bear
Silently, silently bowing in prayer
"masturbation saved my life"
Drive boy dog boy
Dirty numb angel boy
"All of your friends are c***ts, and your mother is a ball point pen thief."
Or...
"My name is Dai Young. I'm the king of Welsh goth."
Oh, and +1 for Mama Said Knock You Out!
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
if i leave here tomorrow
will you still remember me?
The ambulance sirens rang as they wheeled her to the stand
Feathered, tarred and handcuffed to a stretcher
Another James entry:
Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again
keep reading through this wondering how many appear in Mint Sauce strips.
If you're havin girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Joan of Arc had a dildo named Jesus
Made of wood from the cross of its namesake
She considered the splinters atonement
And when she came it would fill her with light!
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?
He was just a social drinker but social every night
He enjoyed a pint or two or three or four
She was just a silent thinker, silent every night
He'd enjoy the thought of killing her before
J Edgar Hoover was a sinister man
He had a sinister face and a sinister plan
Although he was sinister, it must be said
J Edgar Hoover never hoovered my head
Well some people try to pick up girls and get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
I dreamed about killing you again last night, and it felt all right to me.
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.)

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...

There's the whole of life in that song
