    I used to think I was sensible,
    It makes the truth even more incomprehensible.

    The Winkers Song (misprint) by Iva Bigun and the Red-Nosed Burglars. I dedicate the whole song particularly the chorus to Boris Johnson

    I suppose loads of people knew this, but I was was blown away when I realised.
    A mate asked me to listen to the song and tell him what was odd about the lyrics. I listened to it two or three times. I pretty much knew the lyrics and could sing along. I couldn’t find anything unusual about the words. But there was, and when he told me, I didn’t believe him and listened to the song again and, to my absolute amazement, he was right. If you don’t know what it is, have a listen and see if you can tell before somebody spills the beans on here.
    If you love the song and don’t know the answer, you’ll be gobsmacked when you find out I reckon.
    Unless of course, everybody knows and I’m a bit thick!!

    I don't know if ironically, you're being ironic. But that is my least favourite lyric ever. None of it is ironic! It makes me want to drive my car off a cliff when it comes on the radio

    Chimes of freedom and Visions of Johanna are contenders in that category.

    How can you lie back and think of England, when you don’t even know who’s in the team. Billy Bragg.

    I'm trying to get my kids into Dylan and was playing Blonde on Blonde.

    My 12 year old son laughed at and loved:

    Grandpa died last week
    And now he's buried in the rocks
    But everybody still talks about
    How badly they were shocked
    But me, I expected it to happen
    I knew he'd lost control
    When he built a fire on Main Street
    And shot it full of holes.

    From that that same song I always loved: "your debutante knows what you need, but I know what you want".

    And from Just Like a woman , I love "with her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls". The delivery of those words is so stunning.

    And 'if we meet again, introduced as friends, please don't let on that you knew me when I was hungry and it was your world "
    I think Dylan is pretty unbeatable. Wow.

    I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
    Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain
    He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fooks
    For to get a big dish of beef chow mein

    Ah Paul this thread is too much. Ok.

    How about a put down to an ex:
    For someone half as smart, you'd be a work of art... Ouch. Elliot Smith

    'And I guess that I just don't know'. For a chorus. Lou Reed.

    'And Bethlehem inflamed us both like the shy one at some orgy'. Leonard Cohen

    The tax man's taken all my dough
    And left me in my stately home
    Lazing on a sunny afternoon
    And I can't sail my yacht
    He's taken everything I got
    All I've got's this sunny afternoon
