goldie lookin chan - your mothers got a penis.

"Your Mother's Got A Penis"

That's right, you knows what I'm saying
Your mother's offered me the goods, I'm not paying.
It started as a laugh, as a bit of a joke
Something funny to say when I was having a smoke.
I first heard off this bloke, this ****ing rumour going round
Your mother's reputation it's not sound
She's saving up the pennies hoping they'd turn into pounds
To have an operation to swap her gender around.

It's a shock to me and it's a shock to you
Your mother's got a beard, sandals and a penis too
It don't look right see, when she's walking down the street
To see her ball bag jiggin' to the beat of her feet

I said
Your mother's got a penis
Your mother's got a penis
Your mother's got a penis
That's right
Your mother's got a penis

In internet rooms and computer mainframes
There's loads of emails but your mother's blue veins.
Not the ones in her legs or the backs of her arms
But the ones in her member hidden in her gown.
She walks around proud, with a short dress on
Which sometimes exposes the tip of her dong.
Often it's dripping, sometimes it's dry
No matter when I see her there's a tear in my eye.
I thought I had to tell you, had to put it in a letter
But I thought **** that I'd write a song in much better.
The only way to do it, to really let you know
I could prove it because I gave it a blow.
It was purely accidently because she got me really drunk
And she made me kiss her elephant trunk.
You know why? That's right
Your mother got a penis.

Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)
Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)
Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis, c'mon)
That's right
Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)

Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)
Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)
Your mother's got a penis (Let's Rock !)
That's right
Your mother's got a penis

When she walks down the street, then she walks like John Wayne
I just seen her pissing standing up again.
Don't make no sense when you see her here and there
She got a cock and balls and real pubic hair.
And a single eye that sometimes weeps
If she lying on the bed then she rubs it on the sheets
Or up against the door or the back of your neck
If your mother's around then you make a double check.
I hate to tell you with all due respect
Take your mother to the doctors because her front bum's wrecked.

You know why?
Your mother's got a penis (C'mon Wembley)

Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)
Your mother's got a penis
Your mother's got a penis (Put your hands in the air, Wembley)
That's right
Your mother's got a penis (Yes)

Your mother's got a penis (Wembley Arena, I can feel the electricity, C'mon !)
Your mother's got a penis
Your mother's got a penis
That's right
Your mother's got a penis

For the 18th week running, UK rap grounp the GLC hold the number one
position of the US billboard chart with another smash hit, Your Mother's Got A Penis.

Come 'ere boys, you ever seen a woman with a cock before?
Come yer, c'mon look at it. Bouncing up and down I'll stick it in you
Come yer, a woman with a cock. Tidy !

Yeah it's the truth man, his mother have actually got a penis.

You know the scene, we be dancing all night your dick's getting hard and my pussy's tight
pull me to the bathroom and you're teasin' me, but I wanna go home so you could be pleasin' me
it's getting hot, you're ready to go say goodbye head out the door
DJ says, "stay one more song" gives you more ****ing tickets to get your drink on
you go back to the bar, start pounding old E
should be home by now, should be pounding ME

Don't get too drunk to **** tonight
-you've got to get it up
Don't get too drunk to **** tonight
-if you want to get it in
Don't get too drunk to **** tonight
we get home, I get hot
you pass out, sucks a lot

way to go ****head, you did it again
now I'm stuck with my fingers and a ballpoint pen
you talked a lot of ****, acted like a pimp
but I come home with you and what? it's limp
drinking mickey's, st.ides, high life, corona
what good is it if you can't pop a boner
I don't care if you can't come
but it better be hard until I'm done
I wanted hot beef, I got a cold noodle
I wanted slap and tickle, but I got flapdoodled

I like to party, like to get ****ed up, but I'd rather spend the night face down ass up
let's leave while your weenie's still working
cuz I don't want to spend the whole night jerking
spill your drink on me and you're covered in sweat, boy that ain't the way to get me wet
don't come to my house to puke in my toilet, don't sleep in my bed just to soil it
don't pass out goin' down on me
or I'll wake you up with a mouthfull of pee

phew! That's a lot of songs...though they are the first ones that come to mind when I think of the word "Beautiful", I could go on for hours!. The vast vast majority of these are wholly electronic, very few ( if any ) don't feature any form of electronic synthesis...personally I don't view acoustic instruments as "beautiful" or as aesthetically pleasing as the ethereal qualities of synthesisers...of course this is a matter of personal taste...


edit: Actually, personally I think that list would make a lovely electronic music compilation/sampler ( if you removed the few non electronic ones such as EN and Joy Division for consistency and chose select pieces from the full albums )
