Oh, and

"I Love you honey
I love your money
But most of all I love your automobile"

-I Love You Honey, Patsy Cline

Was thinking about this last night and now I can't remember the lyrics I was going to post...well not all of em...

I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I want to be your Easter bunny
I want to be your Christmas tree.

and if I choose your sanctuary
I want to wash you with my hair.
I want to drink of sacred fountains
and find the riches hidden there.

REM - Be mine


you know I am tired.
cold and bony tired.
nothing is going to save me,
I can see.
I can't say I'm fearful.
I can't say I'm not afraid.
I am not resisting,
I can see.
That I don't need a heaven.
I don't need religion.
I am in the place where I should be.

REM - Undertow

the ocean machine is set to 9
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine
my bed is pulling me.
gravity
REM - daysleeper

(and yes I know there is a pattern developing here
I can't help it)

All of Hope (REM again sorry) (thats the one that starts:
you want to go out friday
and you want to go forever.
you know that it sounds childish
that you've dreamt of alligators.)

There are a whole bundle of other ones but I can't pull them out of memory like I can these

"You do it to yourself, you do, and that's why it REALLY hurts. You do it to yourself, you do, you and no one else. You do it to yourself."
Just by Radiohead

"Now I can't climb the stair. Pieces missing everywhere."
Bones by Radiohead

"Maybe you're the same as me, we see things they'll never see. You and I are gonna live forever."
Live Forever by Oasis

"I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakend by the dustmen."
Parklife by Blur

"I'm a back door man,The men dont know but the little girls understand"

by several people but I'm thinking of Howlin' Wolf

"The weatherman says it's going to be a miserable day,
But I happen to like drizzle, so get your facts right"
Half Man Half Biscuit

"We are not afraid of the Americans. Allah has condemned them. They are stupid. They are stupid" (dramatic pause) "and they are condemned."



Liam.

I bet you can all imagine the Ohnosecond that I realised I had posted that in the wrong browser window.

If it is wrong, it probably wont be for long


99% of gargoyles look like Bob Todd HMHB

What I meant to post was this:

"grew a moustache and a mullet
got a job at Chick-fil-A
citing artistic differences
the band broke up in May
and in June reformed without me
and they got a different name
I nuked another grandma's apple pie
and hung my head in shame"

Liam.

Who sang that?

Under bridges, over bridges to our destination
Careful with that spliff Eugene, it causes condensation

HMHB
Time flies by whenyou're the driver of a train
[also has the great second line - steaming into Trumption with a cargo of cocaine]

Seasonally I s'pose I should have gone for something from the Len Ganley Stance, but can't remember enough - not my turn for the brain cell today!

I vote for a tribe of Toffs:

"John Kettley is a weatherman, a weatherman, a weatherman
John Kettley is a weatherman, a weatherman, a weatherman
John Kettley is a weatherman, a weatherman, a weatherman
And so is Micheal Fish"

I thank you

I'm terribly sorry, I have just found an online version of this classic, and I fear I have credited the song with too many weathermen.

The real lyric is as follows:

"John Kettley, John Kettley, John Kettley
John Kettley is a weatherman, a weatherman, a weatherman
John Kettley is a weatherman, and so is Michael Fish"

Pure Genius

"There's no perfume I can wear to make me smell like myself"
Longpigs - she said

"There's panic at London Heathrow.
Everybody wants to go
Out into the blue,
But there's a ten year queue."
'He Thought Of Cars', Blur

Ack should never have started on this thread...

I heard cathedral bells
Dripping down the alleyways

Simon and Garfunkel - For Emily, Wherever I may find her

Currently I love the line:

"My finest hour I've ever known, was when I found a pound on the underground" My Finest Hour by the Sundays

Liam's lyrics are from a Ben Fold's Five song, The Army I think... It's on the Unauthorised Biography of Reinhart Messiner album.

Tis true! But it's the UBof Reinhold Messner

"Even when I get hay-fever I find
I may sneeze, but I don't really mind,
As long as I'm in love with the summertime!"
