    Best/most original song titles

    a small variant to the 'best/worst band names' thread. Best song titles...



    There is a light that never goes out (The Smiths)
    Some girls are bigger than others (The Smiths)
    Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me (The Smiths)
    Girlfriend in a coma (The Smiths)
    Nocturnal me (Echo & The Bunnymen)
    Bring on the dancing horses (Echo & The Bunnymen)
    The killing moon (Echo & The Bunnymen)
    Empire state halo (Echo & The Bunnymen)
    Bela Lugosi's dead (Bauhaus)
    Wait for the black-out (The Damned)
    Motorcycle emptiness (Manics)
    The masses against the classes (Manics)
    If you tolerate this your children will be next (Manics)
    Roses in the hospital (Manics // pure Richey stuff )
    Freedom of speech won't feed my children (Manics)
    Cryptorchid (Marilyn Manson)
    Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Black Sabbath)
    Children of the grave (Black Sabbath)
    The freezing moon (Mayhem)
    Bitter sweet symphony (The Verve)
    Where the streets have no name (U2)
    The church-bells and the razorblades (Silke Bischoff)
    Hysteria (Muse)
    Butterflies and hurricanes (Muse)
    Where the wild roses grow (Nick Cave)



    i like titles that are either bizarre enough to make you curious for the entire song (Manics and Morrissey are class in that) or just titles that breath mystery or melancholy.

    Great one indeed ! "Cemetary gates" has something melancholic-dark as well, and what about "A rush and a push and the land is ours" ?

    royal trux's "The United States Vs. One 1974 Cadillac el Dorado Sedan" has a certain quality that betrays what an absolute monster of a song it actually is

    From one of the best bands of all time, German 'rock' band Can -
    "Turtles have legs too". Amazing band but wierd, apparently the greatest influence on Pink Floyd when they were starting out.

    plus the song is almost as good as the title.

    Any HMHB song title is pretty good

    "Hair like Brian May blues"
    "Friday night and the gates are low"
    "24 hour garage people"
    "Tonight Matthew I'm going to be with Jesus"
    "Dickie Davies Eyes"
    "Improv Workshop Mimeshow Gob****e"
    "Styx Gig (Seen By My Mates Coming Out Of A)"

    You get the idea.

    Fair enough but i wouldn't say that it was all that original. Have a look at some of the song titles they and their ilk have besides. They really need to get out more, poor lads.
