What are your 3 favourite snippets of lyrics? Words that connected with you on a level beyond the norm, made you think "Fuck me, that's it."

 

Mine are:

 

"I'm a reasonable man, get off my case" - Radiohead, Packt like sardines. I am.

 

"Keep what ya got, by giving it all away" - Ian Brown. Beat that, Descartes.

 

"Done done and I'm under the next one" - Foo Fighters, All My Life. Teeth gritting, adrenaline pumping, balls out anger.

I started out with nothing,

And I've still got most of it left.

Tell all the people who believe

what they read in the press

tell all the folk who stare

from behind suburban walls

the enemy is not some nation far across the sea

the enemy is with us every single breathing day.

 

So yes,i will fight for my country

the land that i love so well

yes - for justice

a land fit for all our futures

yes,i will fight for my country

the land that i love so well

hear the voices

of our history echo all around.

 

Fight all the ones who divide us

rich against poor

fight all the ones who divide us

white against black

fight all the powers who want their missiles

in our earth

fight all the people who would

lead us into war.

 

And yes,i will fight for my country...

 

No rights were ever given to us

by the grace of god

no rights were ever given

by some United Nations clause

no rights were ever given

by some nice guy at the top

our rights - they were bought by all the blood

and all the tears of all our

grandmothers,grandfathers before.

 

For all the folk who gave their lives for us

for all the folk who spit out - never say die

for all the fires burning on our highest hills

for all the people spinning tales tonight

fight all the powers who abuse our common laws

fight all the powers who think they only owe themselves.

 

And yes,i will fight for my country...

Who lives in a house like this

Who lives in a house like this

In Number 69 there lives a transvestite

he's a man by day

but he's a woman at night

there's a man in number 4 who swears

he's Saddam Hussein

Says he's on a chore to start the

third world war

oh if you find the time

please come and stay a while

in my beautiful neighbourhood

in 110 they haven't paid the rent

so there goes the tv with the repo men

in 999 they make a living from crime

the house is always empty 'cos they're

all doin' time

 

oh if you find the time

please come and stay a while

in my beautiful neighbourhood

my neighbourhood

my my my beautiful neighbourhood

my neighbourhood

my my my beautiful neighbourhood

 

who lives in a house like this

who lives in a house like this

in number 18 there lives a big

butch queen

he's bigger than Tyson and he's twice

as mean

in 666 there lives a Mr. Miller

he's our local vicar and a serial killer

 

who lives in a house like this (who lives here, man?)

who lives in a house like this

oh they want to knock us down

'cos they think we're scum

but we will all be waiting when the

bulldozers come

in a neighbourhood like this you know

it's hard to survive

so you'd better come prepared

'cos they won't take us alive

And I've fucked a sheep, I've fucked a goat

I rammed my cock right down its throat

So what, so what

So what, so what, you boring little fuck

 

Well, who cares, who cares

What you do

And, who cares, who cares

About you, you, you, you, you

 

And I've drunk that

I've drunk this

I've spewed up on a pint of piss

So what, so what

 

Performed by The Anti-Nowhere League

Written by Widnes Two Hats

A smash of glass and a rumble of boots -

An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth -

Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat -

Lights going out and a kick in the balls -

 

 

In fact I could lsit about 20 by the Jam...

 

 

'aint you heard about the starving millions, aint you heard about contraception?

 

'just another burden on the welfare state

 

'I was twenty one years when I wrote this song

Im twenty two now, but I wont be for long

People ask when will you grow up to be a man

But all the girls I loved at school

Are already pushing prams

 

 

loads really but i do nt really like music......

Is it worth it

A new winter coat and shoes for the wife

And a bicycle on the boys birthday

Its just a rumour that was spread around town

By the women and children

Soon we'll be shipbuilding

Well I ask you

The boy said dad theyre going to take me to task

But Ill be back by christmas

Its just a rumour that was spread around town

Somebody said that someone got filled in

For saying that people get killed in

The result of this shipbuilding

With all the will in the world

Diving for dear life

When we could be diving for pearls

Its just a rumour that was spread around town

A telegram or a picture postcard

Within weeks theyll be re-opening the shipyards

And notifying the next of kin

Once again

Its all were skilled in

We will be shipbuilding

With all the will in the world

Diving for dear life

When we could be diving for pearls

Remember boy that your forefather's died

Lost in millions for a country's pride

Never mention the trenches of Belgium

When they stopped fighting and they were one

 

A spirit stronger than war was at work that night

December 1914 cold, clear and bright

Countries' borders were right out of sight

They joined together and decided not to fight

 

All together now, all together now

All together now in no man's land (together)

All together now (all together), all together now (all together)

All together now (together, together)

In no man's land (together, together)

 

The same old story again

All those tears shed in vain

Nothing learnt and nothing gained

Only hope remains

 

All together now, all together now

All together now in no man's land (together)

All together now (all together), all together now (all together)

All together now in no man's land (together)

All together now (all together now), all together now (all together now)

All together now (together, together)

In no man's land (together, together)

 

The boys had their say, they said no (all together now)

Stop the slaughter, let's go home

Let's go, let's go (all together now)

Let's go (all together now), let's go home

All together now (together, together)

In no man's land (together, together)

All together now (all together now), all together now (all together)

All together now (together, together)

In no man's land (together, together

Ive turned over enough leaves

To fill an autumn.

 

 

 

I just stopped in for one drink

Youll find

That Im not like the other men

Their noses are red

Whilst mine is only pink

And they didnt choose their drink

Their drink chose them.

Fade Away by Oasis. It's off the Cigarettes and Alcohol single which is quite possibly the best single of all time:

 

Cigarettes and Alcohol

Listen Up

Fade Away

I Am The Walrus (Live)

 

The line "While we're living, the dreams we had as children fade away" is spot-on. The songs he wrote when they had f*ck all were amazing.

You may say I'm cynical, but I say man is flawed.

He has a vague memory of life before some fall.

Behaving like a reptile, but talks of walking tall.

If God is in his image, the almighty must be small.

God only knows.

Swaggart has been caught 'with his trousers round his knees'

After damning me and you to hell for eternity.

Sex and power and money is the prayer of these priests,

they bribe their way past Heaven's Gates and steal a set of keys.

God only knows.

My guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheep

while I was fucking selibate, self-righteous in belief.

Yesterday he was God, now he is a creep.

We fell upon each other, starving for relief.

God only knows.

Yeah that's a quality CD. Weller plays with him, doing The Butterfly Collector and a cover of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

And I feel like the man who lives

On that farm which sits

In the middle of the M62

I thought it would be all right

Now I can?t sleep at night

Some things you cannot undo

 

OR

 

You?re like Manchester

You?ve got Strangeways

But you?ve got Styal too

And I miss you while I?m away

 

j.shuttleworth

And if a double-decker bus

Crashes into us

To die by your side

Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten-ton truck

Kills the both of us

To die by your side

Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

 

 

edit: I've just seen Idiot Wind's mentioned it.

I love that cover - top fucking notch

And if a double-decker bus

Crashes into us

To die by your side

Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten-ton truck

Kills the both of us

To die by your side

Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Have you heard the cover? As Jules says, it's belting!

I'm of the school of thought you shouldn't mess with Moz. Especially not a Gallagher.

Ha, it's not like that - just covered live at a charity gig and doesnt change anything about it.

 

Interestingly Noel Gallagher lists Morrissey as one of his biggest influences - fair play!

or

 

I only ever want to see you,

When someone tells me that I need to.

Supposed to be your resurrection,

You should've left it on reflection.

 

Well there's something I'd like to say,

To you

Never be the same again,

Standing in the rain again,

Feeling lots of pain again,

December 28 again,

Your famous boxing day again,

You'll never be the same agian.

 

So you just tell the same old story,

And strike another Englands Glory.

 

Well there's something I'd like to say,

To you

Never be the same again,

Standing in the rain again,

Feeling lots of pain again,

You're pushed out of the frame again,

December 28 again,

You'll never be the same again.

 

I saw you standing in the rain again,

I saw you feeling all that pain again,

I bet you wanna go where people go,

You're gonna leave a strain again,

I saw you standing in the rain again,

I saw you feeling all that pain again,

Never be the same again,

Never be the same again.

 

CHOON.

Ice baby,

I saw your girlfriend and she was

Eating her fingers like theyre just another meal

But she waits there

In the levee wash

Mixin' cocktails with a plastic-tipped cigar

 

Pavement, Summer Babe

I wanna atmosphere, I love a party with a happy atmosphere

so let me take you there

and you and il be dancing in the cool night air...

It was on the good ship Venus

By Christ, ya shoulda seen us

The figurehead was a whore in bed

And the mast was a mammoth penis

 

The captain of this lugger

He was a dirty bugger

He wasn't fit to shovel shit

From one place to another

 

Chorus:

Friggin' in the riggin'

Friggin' in the riggin'

Friggin' in the riggin'

There was fuck all else to do

 

 

The captains name was Morgan

By Christ, he was a gorgon

Ten times a day sweet tunes he'd play

On his fuckin' organ

 

The first mate's name was Cooper

By Christ he was a trooper.

He jerked and jerked until he worked

Himself into a stupor

 

Chorus

 

Hold on! Give us some BULLOCKS!!

 

The second mate was Andy

By Christ, he had a dandy

Till they crushed his cock with a jagged rock

For cumming in the brandy

 

The cabin boy was Flipper

He was a fuckin' nipper

So he stuffed his ass with broken glass

And circumcised the skipper

 

Chorus

 

Ahoy! Jimmy!

 

Chorus

 

The Captain's wife was Mabel

To fuck she was not able

So the dirty shits, they nailed her tits

Across the barroom table

 

The Captain had a daughter

Who fell in deep sea water

Delighted squeals revealed that eels

Had found 'er sexual quarters

"Come on down, the devil's in town

He's brought you sticks and stones

To bust your neighbors bones,

He's stuck his missiles in your gardens & his theories down your throat

And God knows what your gonna do with him

Cos I certainly don't......"

 

Years before his time this bloke. Then not heard of for ages!

The Grand Piano

 

The Glockenspiel

 

The Flute

 

The Electric Guitar

 

The Accoustic Guitar

 

(miss a few)

 

The Tubular Bells

 

 

Mike Oldfield's tubular Bells. Ask for it next time you attend a Karaoke night.

We watched our friends grow up together

And we saw them as they fell

Some of them fell into Heaven

Some of them fell into Hell
