    I'll start by rubbing your balls

    Oh, now I just thought of the My Mum Song by Derek and Clive, one of the all time greats (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's alter egos, for those who don't know). It's one of the filthiest, most offensive and downright funniest songs ever written. :D


    But you'll have to google for the lyrics, I don't wanna get banned. :D

    "I was in heaven, I was in hell
    Believe in neither but fear em as well"

    from Doin the Cockroach by Modest Mouse

    "Large fingers pushing paint
    You're God and you've got big hands
    The colors blend, The challenges you give man
    Seek my part, devote myself, my small self
    like a book amongst the many on the shelf"

    from Sometimes by PJ
    "Stunned by my own reflection, It's looking back, sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again, Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down,down,down"

    When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"

    I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.
  • im listening to some stevie wonder today


    Music is a world within itself
    With a language we all understand
    With an equal opportunity
    For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
    But just because a record has a groove
    Don't make it in the groove
    But you can tell right away at letter A
    When the people start to move

  • here's some marley one's


    trenchtown rock:
    "One good thing about music, when it hits you fell no pain"

    lively up yourself:
    "Lively up yourself and don't be no drag"

    wake up and live:
    "Life is one big road with lots of signs,
    So when you riding through the ruts, don't you complicate your mind:
    Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy!
    Don't bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality, yeah"

    war:
    "Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
    And another
    Inferior
    Is finally
    And permanently
    Discredited
    And abandoned -
    Everywhere is war -
    Me say war."

    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

  • Little Mona Lisa laying by my side
    "Crimson and Clover" pullin' overtime
    Seem too close to be losin' touch
    By givin' in, what am I givin' up
    Am I losin' way too much

    Hey
    California waiting
    Every little thing's gotta be just right
    Say
    While you're tryin' to save me
    Can't I get back my lonely life"

    Pearl Jam has a lot of good ones. In addition to the ones already mentioned I like these:

    Ah, is there room for both of us? Both of us apart?
    Are we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got?
    I get the words and then I get to thinking.
    I don't want to think, I want to feel.
    And how do I feel?


    I felt the earth on a Monday
    It moved beneath my feet


    Restless soul, enjoy your youth
    Like Muhammad hits the truth
    Can't escape from the common rule
    If you hate something, don't you do it too


    Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
    Wounded is the organ he left all...bloodied on the shore...
    Gorgeous was his savior, sees her...drowning in his wake...
    Daily taste the salt of her tears, but...a chance blamed fate...

    As well as:
    There must be some kind of way out of here
    Said the joker to the thief
    There's too much confusion
    I can't get no relief
    (All Along the Watchtower - Dylan)

    And a couple from the Beatles:

    Is there anybody going to listen to my story
    All about the girl who came to stay? (more in the way John sings them than the words themselves)

    He's a real nowhere man
    Sitting in his nowhere land
    Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

    When I wake up early in the morning
    Lift my head, I'm still yawning
    When I'm in the middle of a dream
    Stay in bed, float upstream
  • for sure a good call on the PJ lyrics, The Maestro


    here's a few robert hunter lyrics, sung by jerry. we still miss ya jerry.

    black muddy river:
    "When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
    And the hot sun chills me to the bone
    When I can't hear the song for the singer
    And I can't tell my pillow from a stone"

    ripple:
    "If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
    And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
    Would you hear my voice come through the music
    Would you hold it near as it were your own?"

    stella blue:
    "All the years combine
    they melt into a dream
    A broken angel sings
    from a guitar
    In the end there's just a song
    comes crying like the wind
    through all the broken dreams
    and vanished years"

    the wheel:
    "The wheel is turning
    and you can't slow down
    You can't let go
    and you can't hold on
    You can't go back
    and you can't stand still
    If the thunder don't get you
    then the lightning will"

    Good call on the Robert Hunter. He is one of the greatest (in my opinion) lyricists ever.

    "Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
    It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
    Or been stepped on
    Whatever the notion, we laced in our prayers
    The man upstairs is used to all of this noise
    I'm through with screaming"
