The Classic Song Lyrics thread!!!!
dunno why I'm startin this thread - if its been done already let me know:
Well, when you’re sitting back
In your rose pink cadillac
Making bets on kentucky derby day
I’ll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away
Dead Flowers - rolling stones

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A DUKLA PRAGUE AWAY KIT
There was one of the gang who had Scalextric
And because of that ;
He thought he was better than you,
And the day after school,
You'd go around there to play him,
Hoping to compete for some kind of championship,
And it always took about 15 billion hours to set the track up.
And even when you did, the thing never seemed to work.
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy blue mass, again and again.
A dodgy transformer, cost 3 pounds 10.
So he sent his doting mother
Up the stairs with the stepladders,
To get the Subbuteo
Out of the loft.
It had all the accessories
Required for that big-match atmosphere.
The crowd and the dugout,
And the floodlights, too.
And you'd always get palmed off
With a headless center-forward,
And a goal-kicker with no arms,
And a face like his.
And he'd managed to get hold of
A Dukla-Prague Away Kit,
His uncle owned a sport shop
And he'd kept it to one side.
And after only five minutes
You'd be down to ten men,
And then he sent off your right back
For taking the base from under his left-winger.
Come to half-time, you were losing, four-nil.
Each and every goal, a hotly disputed penalty.
So you smash up the floodlights
And the game was abandoned,
And the dog would bark
And you'd be banned from his house.
And your travelling army
Of synthetic supporters
Would be taken away from you
And thrown in the bin.
And now he's working
In a job with a future.
He hands me my Giro (as in gyroscope, not "hero")
Every two weeks.
And me, I'm on the lookout
For a proper transformer.
Ugh?!
THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE
My Uncle Charlie is a cynical man
And his wife's a touch sceptical, too.
They've got one of those stickers
In the back of their van; it says:
We've seen the prices at the zoo.
Well today I knocked upon their door
And said that I was passing,
And Charlie launched a scathing attack.
When I asked him what I'd done, he said
"You stupid b*st***! We live in a cul-de-sac!"
Went to Dali's party; it was fancy dress.
I just stuck an apple in my face.
I saw a chap who obviously was out to impress,
Reckoned he'd beat Gagarin into space.
He said "Hi there Sals
Like I'm sorry I'm late!
But I was getting done up
As a Mogul Thrash acetate!"
Me, I got bored
So I went home,
Got into bed,
And came to the conclusion...
There is nothing better in life
Than writing on the sole of your slipper with a Biro
There is nothing better in life
Than writing on the sole of your slipper with a Biro
There is nothing better in life
Than writing on the sole of your slipper with a Biro
There is nothing better in life
Than writing on the sole of your slipper with a Biro
On a Saturday Night instead of going to a pub.

Well some people try to pick up girls
And get called Ass****s
This never happened to pablo picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and
So pablo picasso was never called an Ass****
Well the girls would turn the color
Of the avacado when he would drive
Down their street in his el dorado
He could walk down you street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo picasso never got called an Ass****
Not like you
Alright
Well he was only 5’3"
But girls could not resist his stare
Pablo picasso never got called an Ass****
Not in new york
Oh well be not schmuck be not abnoxious
Be not bellbottom bummer or Ass****
Remember the story of pablo picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo picasso was never called an ass****
Alright this is it
Some people try to pick up girls
And they get called an ass****
This never happened to pablo picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and so
Pablo Picasso was never called.........
Very educational don't you think? :D
