Best & Worst Lines from songs

[AndyMac]

These can be terrible lines from terrible songs or terrible lines ruining a good song.
To kick off:
"How can you lie there and think of England when you don't even know who's in the team"
Billy Bragg - Greetings from the new brunette

"Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen" aghhhhh! that stupid easy listening crumpet for middle aged men Katie Melua.

If we could preclude Travis & Dido from the worst ones otherwise we'll be here all day

I think Eminem has come quality lyrics...

"My brain's dead weight, I'm tryin to get my head straight
but I can't figure out which Spice Girl I want to impregnate.."

But the winners, surely, are GLC. Everything they do is genius.

I am a robot, I am a robot !!!!

I think it was "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you dont confuse them..... with mountains"
From the song 'Whenever Wherever'... I would not say No to Shakira! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/goofy.gif

Can you top this one:

"dum.. dum.. dum dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum, dum.. dum.. DUM.. Tra la la.. To be in england, in the summertime.. "

(Art of noise, 'Close to the Edit' for those too young to recall)

Worst line from a song has to go to the Crazy Frog!

"DING DING DING DING DING DING..... DING DING DING DING.. DING DING DING..... BAAAAABIDIBAAAAAAAAAABIDIBAAAAAAA" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

 

[C_Audiboy]

One of the best has to be:

"Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes - Daddy was an alcoholic" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

u2 have some cracking examples. ones that spring to mind now are playboy mansion, numb and kite, in all three cases when you see the lyrics written down they look somewhat odd. but when you hear the songs they fit perfectly in place. genius

How about Roger Waters (not sure of the song title):

"My least favourite, favourite fish is Sole - You don't have to see the eyes"

WTF?

 

[myzeneye]

the smiths had some beltin' lines.......

from - bigmouth strikes again....
sweetness, i was only joking when i said id like to smash every tooth in your head,
sweetness, i was only joking when i said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed.....

nice.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile_smoking.gif

 

[myzeneye]

joost, i know that...... radio chaos.....

I don't like fish. Marine fish
I don't like fish
"dock ... oh time... is turning ... the party's over but you are not"
You are listening to KAOS here in Los Angeles
I don't like fish
Yes, we've established that
Ah! Do you have a request?
Shellfish, guppy, salmon, shrimp and crab
and lobster, flounder.I hate fish, but I think most of all
I hate fresh fish, like trout
I hate fresh trout.
My least-hated, favourite fish would be sole.
That way you don't have to see the eyes
Sole has no eyes

Oh no!

I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog......



sheer class.

i could quote roger waters all day long mate...

perfect sense pt1.- the flickering flame

......And the Germans killed the Jews
And the Jews killed the Arabs
And the Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder that the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama the President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals
And the Joint Chiefs of Staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh you're a smart kid
Time is linear Memory is a stranger
History's for fools
Man is a tool in the hands of the great God almighty
And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden

[joost]

Thats it! Was doing my nut trying to remember the song.

Wasn't far off with the lyrics....

Never managed to work out what the hell he was going on about though - obviously not consumed enough mind altering paraphernalia (not that I'm going to admit to anyway!). Quality track though.

Well ****** me I was listening to that in the car earlier I like the version of knocking on heavens door.

 

[AndyMac]

Basically anything from Radiohead "the bends" (i.e. before they went mental)
Bulletproof's a favorite suicidal track

limb by limb & tooth by tooth
tearing up inside of me
everyday every hour,
wish that I was bulletproof
wax me mould me
heat the pins and stab them in
you have turned me into this
wish that I was bulletproof
so pay me money & take a shot
lead fill the holes in me
I could burst a million bubbles
wish that I was bulletproof

Although to be fair you probably have to be going through a pretty rough time to really appreciate it.
