The Winkers Song (misprint) by Iva Bigun and the Red-Nosed Burglars. I dedicate the whole song particularly the chorus to Boris Johnson
America (Paul Simon) 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!!
Lv to do Space Oddity at karaoke mate. done Life on Mars bt it ain't easy... Honorable mention to Drive in Saturday lyrics..
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
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
