Favourite lyrics....

[blinkme]

I still believe in the saints

In Jerry Lee and Johnny, and all the greats

I still believe in the sound

That has the power to raise a temple, and tear it down

I still believe in the need

For guitars and drums and desperate poetry

I still believe that everyone

Can find a song for every time they’ve lost, and every time they’ve won

So just remember folks we’re not just saving lives, we’re saving souls and we’re having fun.

 

and lots of other frank turner lyrics

[scooby2]

You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat.

You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat.

You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim.

You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin.

 

You can see the summit but you can't reach it.

It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit.

Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain.

Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain.

 

 

No-one Is To Blame - Howard Jones.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose;

nothing ain't worth nothing, but it's free'

 

from 'Me And Bobby McGee - written by Kris Kristofferson, and recorded upward of 200 times.

My preferred version is by The Grateful Dead, on the Europe '72 live collection (although they get the words wrong, in the first chorus!).

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

Angry Anderson - Suddenly

 

Would bring a tear to a glass eye those lyrics!

[pattismith]

I need someone to pull the trigger

'Cause there's a hole in my heart getting bigger

And everything I'll ever be I've been

[flipster]

Told my girl I'd have to forget her

Rather buy me a new carburetor

[SuperValiant1876]

Another personal favourite

 

 

She went away for the holidays

Said she's going to L.A.

But she never got there

She never got there

She never got there, they say

[Jase Sherratt]

"The future teaches you to be alone, the present to be afraid and cold, so if i can shoot rabbits, then i can shoot facists"

If You Tolerate This, Then Your Children Will Be Next

Another personal favourite

 

 

She went away for the holidays

Said she's going to L.A.

But she never got there

She never got there

She never got there, they say

 

ring me ring me ring me up the president, find out where my baby went

 

ring me ring me ring me up the FBI, find out if my baby's aliii-iiii-iiiive

"Steino is a ******"

 

Just nearly choked on me cuppa !!!!

[Marge56]

I believe the children are our future

Teach them well and let them lead the way

Show them all the beauty they possess inside

Give them a sense of pride to make it easier

Let the children's laughter remind us of how it use to be

Everybody's searching for a hero

People need someone to look up to

I never found anyone to fulfill my needs

A lonely place to be

So I learned to depend on me

 

Greatest Love of All - George Benson

[scVale]

"its an artistic, archaic revival, activate the rhythm, the rhythm in yoou"

 

The Shamen- Bass Drum

[scVale]

or

 

"you've got to hold and give, but do it at the right time. You can be slow or fast but you must get to the line. They'll always hit you and hurt you, defend and attack. There's only one way to beat them, get round the back. Catch me if you can, cus I'm an England man, and what your looking at is the master plan. We aint no hooligans, this aint a football song, three lions on your shirt we can't go wrong"
