Japhet Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 13 hours ago, Baxlin said: Apparently the lyrics to Procal Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale have a meaning........ We skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kind a seasick But the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink The waiter brought a tray And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter shade of pale. It's good but lacks the prosaic gravity of 'All we hear is Radio Ga Ga, Radio Goo Goo, Radio Ga Ga' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearhart74 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Some things in life are bad, They can really make you mad. Other things just make you swear and curse. When you're chewing on life's gristle, Don't grumble, give a whistle! And this'll help things turn out for the best And Always look on the bright side of life! Always look on the bright side of life If life seems jolly rotten, There's something you've forgotten! And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing, When you're feeling in the dumps, Don't be silly chumps, Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing! And always look on the bright side of life Come on! Always look on the bright side of life For life is quite absurd, And death's the final word. You must always face the curtain with a bow! Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin, Enjoy it, it's the last chance anyhow! So always look on the bright side of death! Just before you draw your terminal breath. Life's a piece of stinky poo, When you look at it. Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true, You'll see it's all a show, Keep 'em laughing as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you! And always look on the bright side of life 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Riva Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Most of John Cooper Clarke’s output springs to mind. In a (really) good way. Not really random but I never tire of hearing the lyrics to the chorus of Bowie’s Drive-In Saturday. “His name was always Buddy And he’d shrug and ask to stay. She’d sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid And turn her face away. She’s uncertain if she likes him But she knows she really loves him. It’s a crash course for the ravers It’s a drive-in Saturday...” Also love Jagger’’s “My best friend, he shoots water rats, and feeds them to his geese” line in Live With Me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebs Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Nina Simone - Don't let me be Misunderstood. All of it. Baby, you understand me now? If sometimes you see that I'm mad Don'tcha know that no one alive can always be an angel? When everything goes wrong, you see some bad But oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood You know sometimes, baby I'm so carefree Oh, with a joy that's hard to hide And then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry And then you're bound to see my other side But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood If I seem edgy I want you to know I never mean to take it out on you Life has its problems And I get more than my share But that's me one thing I never mean to do 'Cause I love you Oh, baby, I'm just human Don't you know I have faults like anyone? Sometimes I find myself alone regretting some little foolish thing Some simple thing that I've done 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Don't let me be misunderstood I try so hard so please don't let me be misunderstood No, no, no, please 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Newtown Neurotics featuring Attila the Stockbroker - Andy is a Corporatist Mindless violence is a newspaper phrase It's an excuse to vandalise a human frame What a clever little gang can attack a single man And then run into the night before you've seen what you'd done Yes, you ran into the night before you'd seen what you'd done Mindless cowards 'cause that's what you are Andy is a corporatist He is corpulent, and often whizzed And he is friends with Flemish Nazis Goes to Hitler's birthday parties Seven times a year I met him at the 100 Club He was there on business But he couldn't start a riot So he stayed kinda quiet And The Business didn't play So Andy went away I met him in Birmingham the day the stinky poo really hit the fan The fan was me and the stinky poo was Andy Dexey's concert, really handy Broken nose, really dandy Andy thinks it's such a laugh To sing Horst Wessel in the bath Smash up other people's fun Make page 20 of the Sun But I knew his time would come Andy's mate came up today Told me he'd been put away 'Stupid nutter, anyway!' That's all he said, then turned away 'What a waste!', that's all I'd say 'Maybe he'll change, somehow, someday' A year of life went down the drain Then they let Andy out again The guys inside had changed his mind He'd left his Nazi past behind One day I met him in the pub He'd finished with the killing club He said he had to watch his face 'Cause you don't leave the master race' Now Andy and his local crew Stand firm against the chosen few He's playing in a rebel band To spread the word across the land And sometimes in a whizzed-up haze He talks about the bad old days And here's his message, loud and clear 'We'll never let it happen here!' 'You Nazi skinheads ought to know That you would be the first to go 'Cause what they want is serried ranks Unsmiling clones in Chieftain tanks No room for music, punk or skin They'll bring the goosestep marches in And take our football and our bands Smash our guitars and break our hands So no more crap about coloured skin 'Cause unity is the way to win And what our Andy says is true Stand firm, don't let them hoodwink you Mindless violence Mindless violence Mindless violence Mindless violence Mindless violence, who is to blame?
