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

Shady Lane - Pavement

"Blind date with the chancer
We had oysters and dry lancers
when the check arrived,
we went dutch, dutch, dutch, dutch
A redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash
And this emery board is giving me a rash
I’m flat out
You’re so beautiful to look at when you cry
Freeze, don’t move
You’ve been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation
Of the sequel to your life"

Orgasm Addict - The Buzzcocks

well you tried it just for once found it all right for kicks.
but now you found out that it's a habit that sticks.
and you're an orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
sneaking in the back door with dirty magazines.
now your mother wants to know what all those stains on your jeans.
and you're an orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
uh huh, uh huh, uhhhhh, uhhhhh [x3]
you get in a heat, you get in a sulk.
but you still keep a beating your meat to pulp.
and you're an orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
you're a kid cassanova.
you're a no-josep it's a labour of love ****ing yourself to death.
orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
uh huh, uhhhhh [x10] you're makin' out with school kids, winos and heads of state.
you even made it with the lady, who puts the little plastic bobins on the christmas cakes.
butchers' assistants and bellhops, you've had them all here and there.
children of god and their joy-strings, international women with no body hair.
oooh, so where they're askin' in an alley and your voice ain't steady.
if your sex mechanic's rough you're more than ready.
you're an orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
johnny want ****ie always and all ways.
he's got the energy, he will remain.
he's an orgasm addict.
he's an orgasm addict.
he's always at it.
he's always at it.
and he's an orgasm addict.
he's an orgasm addict.

anyone can just copy and paste lyrics.
have sort of a competition

There's no competition. This is the best song ever

The Magnetic Fields - Absolutely Cuckoo

Don't fall in love with me yet
We only recently met
True I'm in love with you but
you might decide I'm a nut
Give me a week or two to
go absolutley cuckoo
then, when you see your error,
then, you can flee in terror
like everybody else does
I only tell you this cause
I'm easy to get rid of
but not if you fall in love
Know now that I'm on the make
and if you make a mistake
my heart will certainly break
I'll have to jump in a lake
and all my friends will blame you
There's no telling what they'll do
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo

"well I went from the Andes to the Indies in my undies"

'Eno Collaboration' by Half Man Half Biscuit.

Loads more by the biccies actually. Best lyricists ever.

Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
For the first time in your life
Wear your blouse undone to hear
And your skirt split up to here

Oh Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
For the first time in your life
Oh Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
Wink at the minister
Blow kisses to my grieving brothers

Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
And when it comes your turn to speak before the crowd
Tell them about the time we did it
On the beach with fireworks above us

On the railroad tracks with the gravel in your back
In the back room of a crowded bar
And in the graveyard where my body now rests

Oh Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
For the first time in your life

Also tell them about how I gave to charity
And tried to love my fellow man as best i could
But most of all don't forget about the time on the beach
With fireworks above us

Oh, Oh, Oooooh ...

just run with this thing baby!

One Summer evening drunk to hell
I stood there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
Where the water lilies grow
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it's how are you kid and what's your name
And how would you bloody know?....

Don't need to say who that is!!,if you don't know you're not worthy

Stone Roses - Elizabeth My Dear

Tear me apart and boil my bones
I'll not rest till she's lost her throne
My aim is true my message is clear
It's curtains for you, Elizabeth my dear

Ian Dury - F*ck Off Noddy

Winnie The Pooh is having a w*nk
“And what are you up to?” said Tommy the Tank
Peter the Rabbit is at it as well
And all the young pixies in Dingelydell

Singing: “f*ck off Noddy, you stupid prat”
“F*ck off Noddy in your rotten hat”

Sinbad the Sailor is drunk as a sack
Mary Contrary is flat on her back
Pinky and Perky are having a snog
Little Miss Muffet’s been sick as a dog

Singing: “f*ck off Noddy, you little pr*ck”
“F*ck off Noddy, you get on my wick”

Happy and Dopey are smoking a joint
Sneezy’s flaked out, he can’t see the point
“F*ck this for a lark” said Sweet Jack of Hearts
“Which one of you b*stards has sh*t on my tarts?”

Singing: “f*ck off Noddy you bloodless berk”
“F*ck off Noddy, you’re just a jerk”

F*ck off Noddy, you smelly turd
F*ck off Noddy you’re so absurd
F*ck off Noddy you stupid prat
F*ck off Noddy in your rotten hat
F*ck off Noddy you little wimp
F*ck off Noddy you’re a p*ss brained shrimp
F*ck off Noddy you stupid prat
F*ck off Noddy in your rotten hat

Brian McFadden-
'we'll invite the family round and drink some English tea
then I lift up my finger
and watch football on tv'

Worthy of Shakespeare that....

Agreed class lyrics as are the I Am The Resurrection lyrics in fact the album is full of classics

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

"Fast forwards through"? Still listening on tape? I wouldn't fast forward or skip any of that album. I mean even if it wasn't your favourite bit of the album, it's only a minute....

Stinkin Thinkin - The Happy Mondays

Steady job in a small town
Guaranteed to bring me right down
Guaranteed to take me nowhere
Guaranteed to make me lose my hair

An 80's man to the core

I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty two now, but I won't 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

I loved you then as I love you still
Tho I put you on a pedestal,
They put you on the pill
I don't feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I can't survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl

Billy Bragg A New England.

Son, I`m 30
I only went with your mother `cause she`s dirty
And I don`t have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see yeah
I should so I take it free yeah
And all the bad **** ugly things i feed me
I never help or give to the needy
Come on and see me

Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify some brother today
And I don`t dig what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice

I said dad you`re a shabby
You run around and groove like a baggy
You`re only here just out of habit
All that`s mine you might as well have it
You take 10p back and then stab it
Spray it on and tag it
So sack on me
I can`t stand the needy
Get around here if you`re asking you`re feeling

Kinky Afro - Happy Mondays

Jimmy Soul:

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

'Did ya ever shove a banger up yer @rse at halloween?'

- Podge and Rodge

...well, did ya?
