Weird Lyrics

Did you ever hear a lyric in a song that made you go

I just heard 'Come out ye Black and Tans' and the start of the song is about the father coming home drunk and trying to start a fight with the English neighbours. I just found it a bit embarrassing.

In Blurred Lines he says 'You want to hug me. What rhymes with hug me?' It just sounds ridiculous...

Pink has 'too school for cool' in a song too, which never sounded right to me and annoyed me.

What lyrics make you do a double take?

Ruu

Ireland's favourite son, Bono.

A mole digging in a hole / Digging up my soul.

The Backwards Man

BA dooby doo waa wop bop waa

Oh it's 'orrible being in love, 'orrible being in love when you're eight 'n 'arf.

Used to embarrass me when I was 9

I'm fairly sure the lyric implies that they were near to a British Army base in Dublin (the neighbours) and the father was challenging them to put their guns down and come out for a square go, something they were not brave enough to do.

I do agree if it was an Irish family who had moved to England and he was at this every night to the next door neighbours it would be embarrassing

I dislike all rebel songs, don't know why but all the lyrics make me go WTF. Everything they are about happened before I was born, therefore I do not care.

In Blurred Lines he says 'You want to hug me. What rhymes with hug me?' It just sounds ridiculous... That song is a bit ridiculous in general

Pink has 'too school for cool' in a song too, which never sounded right to me and annoyed me. I actually like this, used to drive my sister nuts when I would say it. I also like to say "whatever boats your float" just to mix it up :pac:

This is why I rarely try to listen to lyrics, because I always balls it up. I knew it was Dublin and that the English soldiers were living there but the bit where it said 'every single night when my da came home tight' threw me a bit...

What's weird about that? It's what I'd expect to hear in a love song about a horse...

You can forget about all that Icy T and Scoopy Scoopy Dogg Dogg! They're no help to us now!

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

And their like

It’s better than yours,

Damn right it’s better than yours,

I can teach you,

But I have to charge”


Oh and also.

I'm serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer.

Course you are.

Theatre Of Tragedy - Bring Forth Ye Shadow

Dim the lights - I cannot see!
Bring forth ye Shadow! -
With whom danceth thou?
Time hath stopp'd -
Yet for others ne'er halteth;
For me the Pages of Life do not turn,
Lo! - on the funeral pyre they burn.

that's gothic metal for you

Rothko

Pay No Mind - Beck

"Give the finger to the rock 'n' roll singer,
As he's dancing upon your paycheck,
The sales climb high through the garbage-pail sky,
Like a giant dildo crushing the sun"

Osmosis Jones

I'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

Step off the train all alone at dawn, back into the hole where I was born, sun in the sky never raised an eye to me. The blood on the trax and it must by mine, fool on the hill and I feel fine, don't look back cos you know what you might see.
