Also, Kings of Leon.
And Johnny Cash
and Jim Morrison's baby. I mean, giving matches to a very young child would surely be a mistake. More likely to damage the pram than the actual night.
Google Jesus lost years.
He learnt his trade off his dad, typical carpenter/builder....... disappeared off the face of the Earth for a while leaving everyone clueless as to where he was.
Diamonds do not last forever.
Chemically, graphite is a more stable form of carbon, so a diamond would eventually transform into graphite.
Love can build a bridge.
No, it can’t. Steel and concrete are your friends here.
I’m not sure what the age of consent is in Canada, but I’m reasonably sure it’s higher than 10.
The people from school needn't have been the same age. Could have been teachers or janitors or something.
The song also says the first 'real' six string was bought and the Five and Dime. Now, you might insist that any guitar is 'real' as in not imaginary, but the term has certainly also come to mean something properly suited to its purpose. It's possible that the 'imitation strat' was in fact so rubbish as to be not fit for purpose. I've certainly seen guitars like this.
Girls do not just want to have fun. They expect all sorts of other stuff that is not fun.
Some say India, others claim evidence he may have been to England.
Supposedly his uncle traded in what is now the UK. But in any case Blake is simply asking a question, which is not an assertion and therefore outside the scope of this thread.
Does Batman, in fact, smell?
Of course. He may be clean enough to be un-noticeable by human noses but a dog would certainly be able to tell.
I wonder if Mr Bolan ever found out that driving expensive cars like Rolls Royce's didn't make any difference to his vocals.
Cars weren't really very good for the chap at all as it turned out.
I'm pretty sure they blasted and dug the embankments and cuts with dynamite and shovels, picks, etc.

You try wearing a head to toe rubber suit and do some vigarous excersise chasing villains around the city.
Status Quo did not 'rock all over the world'.
I have it on good authority that they have never played a gig in Antarctica, for example.
The song also says the first ‘real’ six string was bought and the Five and Dime.
Which he purchased in 1971, the charlatan.
It's a staple at the South Pole NYE disco, so they have rocked all over the world by proxy.
There’ll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover
Balderdash. No bluebirds in europe 🙂
Also descibing a sheer chalk cliff into the sea, as a valley, is a bit of a stretch of the imagination.
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
There'll be love and laughter
And peace ever after
Tomorrow, when the world is free
The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
Tina Turner sings of someone being 'simply the best, better than anyone, anyone I ever met'
It's clearly a falsehood to assert someone is 'the best' whilst in the next breath, freely admitting that you have not met everyone who ever lived in order to draw such a ludicrous conclusion.
Jesus was Batman
Does that mean that John Lydon is prophesised to oppose Batman: The Return? Should Ian Brown be worried?
I'm travelling at the speed of light
Highly improbable, Mr. Mercury.
I am a sex machine ready to reload like an atom bomb
Also atomic bombs don't work the way you seem to think they do.
Building a city on rock and roll is unlikely to prove a durable and reliable foundation.
The song also says the first ‘real’ six string was bought and the Five and Dime.
I thought the same, but that being the case then it wasn't the summer of '69 but two years later.
[EDIT: sorry, I see someone else said the same thing]
You try wearing a head to toe rubber suit and do some vigarous excersise
I reserve that sort of thing for special occasions.
Also Bryan adams sings: 'everything I do, I do it for you'.
Well now, what about that classic landrover you drive around in and love so much? Pretty sure you weren't thinking of your wife when you bought that, were you?!
Bryan Adams would have been 10 in the summer of ’69.
The song is very famously not about the year 1969. Or have i just explained your joke?

69'd at the age of ten, what a lad... or is it just another of his many lies.
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
That's a geographically variable truth.
There’s no such place as Honnah Lee and dragons do not live forever.
You misheard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honiley
If her majesty didn’t have a lot to say, why was she always making speeches?
Lady Ga-Ga has a song called speechless. Where she proceeds to sing for a full four and a half mins.
So not speechless at all then.
Mr. Jackson was, of course, not “BAD” by any reasonable definition of the word.

I dunno about that, the multiple out of court settlements suggest he was probably at least a litttle bit naughty.

So your mass is zero? Seems unlikely
Defying the laws of gravity
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, we've not see any evidence of anything defying the rules of gravity
I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars on a collision course
Fair enough, I remember Beagle 2

As I recall, at the time "bad" was similar to use of "sick" today. Possibly a contraction of "bad ass," I don't think he was singing about his IBS though.
Walked out this morning, I don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
that ones always concerned me...that's around 2 x 6packs for the whole world population

Apparently 2 trillion drinks containers are made every year

No, I don't think he was talking about IBS. With the benefit of hindsight, it does quite likely that he was quite a naughty boy, but I guess he bought off the witnesses so we'll never really know for sure.

....Apparently 2 trillion drinks containers are made every year
good point...but now I'm concerned it's just a throw away line
Toto: As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
No.
No it doesn't
I am inclined to think that Mr Pitney's distance from Tulsa varied a little more than his frequent pronouncements on the subject indicated.
Fact checking aside, the logistics and planning skills of this song writer certainly leave a lot to be desired. That would be a red flag for me.
You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
You can reach my by sail boat
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down slow
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
But if I had my way
Surely you would be closer
I need you closer
You can wind surf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
But if I had my way
Surely you would be closer
I need you closer
You can wind surf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
Wayne Carson did actually have time to take a fast train, he was just impatient. He was also wrong about neon lights, they do not warm the coldest nights.
The Bee Gees scored a number one in 1987 with ‘you win again’.
Unless getting a whopping 10% off instore bakery items with my lidls scratchcard counts as winning, my luck has been nonexistent since then, messrs Gibb. Thanks.
Did the lights all go out in Massachusetts?
Surely "Staying Alive" is the Bee Gees' biggest untruth.
