Ridiculous Lyrics

We built this city on Rock n Roll…
I don’t even think Grace Slick knew what she was singing

Not ridiculous lyrics, but very poignant and personal for the artist…

" He said you’re really an ugly girl
But I like the way you play
And I died
But I thanked him
Can you believe
That sick
Holding on to his picture
Dressing up every day
I want to smash the faces
Of those beautiful boys
Those christian boys
So you can make me c*m
That doesn’t make you jesus "

Wow.
Good morning to you, too.

I don’t think anyone has had a go at New Order yet. They’ve got some pretty terrible lyrics - kind of steadily got worse from Blue Monday onwards. Take Slow Jam for example:

The afternoon was very clear
The sun was beating down on me
I got thirsty for a beer
That I had to go to sea
The sea was very rough
It made me feel sick
But I like that kind of stuff
It beats arithmetic

Sure. And I like New Order. But it just goes to show that Ian Curtis was the one with the way with words.

Great song though.

wow. deepness.

The line between ridiculous and brilliant is obviously fairly grey. Ridiculous can also be ridiculously good. Love these:

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise just a little sand
'Cause I’m a voodoo child
Lord knows I’m a voodoo child

Yeah, well, when you add copious amounts of psychedelia and heavy gut-wrenching guitar, most things sound amazing.

Brian Eno - ps ‘kings lead hat’ is an anagram

Dark alley (dark alley) black star
Four turkeys in a big black car
The road is shiny (bright shine) the wheels slide
Four turkeys going for a dangerous ride
The lacquer crackles (black tar) the engines roar
A ship was turning broadside to the shore
Splish splash I was raking in the cash
The biology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface (OOH)
King’s lead hat put the innocence inside her, it will come, it will come, it will surely come
King’s lead hat was a mother to desire, it will come, it will come, it will surely come
In New Delhi (smelly Delhi) and Hong Kong
They all know that it won’t be long
I count my fingers (digit counter) as night falls
And draw bananas on the bathroom walls
The killer cycles (humdrum) the killer hertz
The passage of my life is measured out in shirts
Time and motion (motion carried) time and tide
All I know and all I have is time and time and tide is on my side
King’s lead hat put the poker in the fire, it will come, it will come, it will surely come
King’s lead hat was a mother to desire, it will come, it will come, it will surely come
The weapon’s ready (ready Freddy) the guns purr
The satellite distorts his voice to a slur
He gives orders (finger pie) which no one hears
The king’s hat fits over their ears
He takes his modicate (indecipherable) cold turpentine
He tries to dial out 999999999
He dials reception (moving finger) he’s all alone
He’s just a victim of the telephone
King’s lead hat made the Amazon much wider, it will come, it will come, it will surely come
King’s lead hat put the poker in the fire, it will come, it will come, it will surely come
King’s lead hat was a mother to desire, it will come, it will come, it will surely come
King’s lead hat put the innocence inside her, it will come, it will come, it will surely come
King’s lead hat was a hammer to desire, it will come, it will come, it will surely come

“Are you surprised when I touch the dwarf inside?”

"Are you surprised when I touch the dwarf inside?"

I just thought…

And caaaaannn you feel,
The Dwaaaaarf inside?

Night Goat - Melvins

She wants my way to feel
And I cut my teeth
It’s more than nine hundred miles
Oh, I got no more me
Well, you can make my teeth grind
You can make my underworld
It’s a bit done well now
It’s a big dark hell
You sit and watch out for your tails
Like a poison sold on demand
Like a hard chance
Like a pig tail
I walked myself away
Well, baby, I’m talked about
And I felt it grow
She makes you undefiled now
And she’ll clean my nose
I looked so Peaceful
I looked so underworld
I ain’t got no mind
But I ain’t got no tail
You looked like such a worthy man
Like a sinner tossed on the wind
Like a hard sell
Like I’ve passed on
Like a willow thrown away
On signs I’ll walk down for the way
Like a poison sold on demand
Like a hard sell
Like I’m set down
Like the well one goes away

Reads like ‘Nice Guy’ bitterness to me.

The lyrics don’t matter at all for that song, they are actual nonsense - it’s all in the delivery.

Reads like 'Nice Guy' bitterness to me.

Reminds me though:

Mr. Nice Guy - Mr. Bungle

There’s nothin’ that I wouldn’t do for you
'Cuz I’m pottie, trained like a great dane
Have a nice day

Incubus in disguise, Lord of the flies
A pile of ■■■■ dressed up to appetize
The main course, degradation a la mode
You accept the invitation
I know how to treat a lady

I’m a fountain of love like Christ
So shower in the golden jewelry of my balls
Eagerly you suck it down like a pig in a toilet
In a vacuum, in a tornado, in a black hole

Turbulent, whirlpool

Like yin and yen, the doggie is my best friend
I think I need a foxy terrier
With a capital T that rhymes with D
That stands for derrire
To bark for me and keep me company

You look so nice
With your nose in the dirt
You’re my puppy
Bend over and lick yourself

And when you sleep, I’m sitting on your chest
Say it’s a dog’s life so you do what you gotta do, do
Doggie ■■■■■, let me drill my own hole
I don’t need a seed to grow my ■■■■ weed
I’m the one you want, the one you get
■■■■ sucking, butt ■■■■■■■ nerd

I’m a ■■■■■■, I’m a geek, I’m a coprophagist
I ■■■■, you eat my poop, you ■■■■, I eat your poop
I ■■■■, an infinite push pull
Hedonism trading fours
You scratch my back I’ll scratch yours

Incubus, succubus

Like ■■■■ and Jane, the K9 method is ■■■■■■■ insane
It’s love, it’s dog eat dog, eat dog
With a capital D that rhymes with tree
That stands for pee pee
Your knight in shining armor
Ain’t no nice guy at all

I am the devil who’s under the skin
I hide in the smile and aim for the quim
God is my tactic and nature’s my game
Forget all your opinions, baby
Because I will always win, lesbian

The ritual, I urinate chivalry
Instinctual 'cuz I’m such a gentleman
You look so nice with your nose in the dirt

Drops of Jupiter.

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s room to grow, hey, hey
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as plain ol’ Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had, and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
And are you lonely looking for yourself out there?
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Holy ■■■■ that song annoys me. A lot of chicks really love it for some reason. Makes me kind of do a Jerry Seinfeld if I’m courting one of them.

Someone told me long ago
There’s a calm before the storm
I know it’s been comin’ for some time
When it’s over so they say
It’ll rain a sunny day
I know shinin’ down like water

I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin’ down on a sunny day?

Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know it can’t stop, I wonder

I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin’ down on a sunny day?

Yeah

I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin’ down on a sunny day?

Peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man.

No more maybes
Your baby’s got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes

No more maybes Your baby's got rabies Sitting on a ball In the middle of the Andes

Veto.
Documentary.
What it has to do with promiscuity and self-image, I’m not sure.
Perhaps to draw a contrast with first world problems.
