    Not insulting but honest...

    Stiff Little Fingers - Touch and Go.

    Looking back it's funny that we never lied
    That night we met when were both alone
    We knew at once that what we'd want was just that night
    Knew it couldn't be forever
    Cause we each told of another
    And then found something all our own

    We both agreed we felt the need that goes skin deep
    We said up front that's all we'd want and so
    We took the love that felt so good and had to be
    Just a case of touch and go

    When we'd got that usual block out of the way
    We both relaxed, sat back and felt so sure
    Saw eye to eye and looked each other in the face
    Hours we talked with warmth and laughter
    And we still could talk more after
    In the dark up on the seventh floor

    We both agreed we felt the need that goes skin deep
    We said up front that's all we'd want and so
    We took the love that felt so good and had to be
    Just a case of touch and go

    Some might joke I came and went
    And snigger she's a whore
    But there's two people know it meant much more

    Looking back was not allowed that morning so
    We stuck by what we'd said
    Rose and left without regret
    But for a moment it was touch and go

    We both agreed we felt the need to touch and go
    But oh, you know, it was touch and go

    Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen.

    The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
    Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
    Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
    Hey, that's me and I want you only
    Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
    Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for
    So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore
    Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
    You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright
    Oh, and that's alright with me

    You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain
    Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
    Waste your summer praying in vain
    For a savior to rise from these streets
    Well now, I ain't no hero, that's understood
    All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
    With a chance to make it good somehow
    Hey, what else can we do now?
    Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
    Well, the night's busting open, these two lanes will take us anywhere
    We got one last chance to make it real
    To trade in these wings on some wheels
    Climb in back, heaven's waiting on down the tracks
    Oh oh, come take my hand
    We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
    Oh oh oh oh, Thunder Road
    Oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road
    Lying out there like a killer in the sun
    Hey, I know it's late, we can make it if we run
    Oh oh oh oh, Thunder Road
    Sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
    Well, I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
    And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
    From your front porch to my front seat
    The door's open but the ride ain't free
    And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken
    But tonight we'll be free, all the promises'll be broken

    Justin Timberlake with Cry Me A River

    "You don't have to say what you did
    I already know, I found out from him"
    You should've picked honesty
    Then you may not have blown it
    Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn to cry
    So cry me a river"

    Jazz standard "My Funny Valentine".

    My funny valentine
    Sweet comic valentine
    You make me smile with my heart
    Your looks are laughable
    Unphotographable

    Yet you're my favourite work of art

    Is your figure less than greek
    Is your mouth a little weak

    When you open it to speak
    Are you smart?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,799 ✭✭✭✭The Princess Bride




    Brilliant song but wouldn't do much for your self esteem.
    Won't you be my number two
    Me and number one are through
    There won't be too much to do
    Just smile when I feel blue.

    And there's not much left of me
    What you get is what you see
    Is it worth the energy
    I leave it up to you

    I was on my way home but I'm just phoning you to say I met some tart on the way and I've decided that I'm staying with her instead.

    Say Hello, Wave Goodbye: Soft Cell

    Full of insults but the next lucky lady he's going to find is going to be "a nice little housewife" :rolleyes:

    This is very insulting and not at all romantic, but the lyrics are hilarious.

    "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off"

    Not a word from your lips
    You just took for granted that I want to skinny dip
    A quick hit, that's your game
    But I'm not a piece of meat, simulate my brain, no

    The night is young, so are we
    Let's just get to know each other slow and easily, oh, oh
    Take my hand, let's hit the floor
    Shake our bodies to the music
    Maybe then you'll score, oh, oh

    So come on baby, won't you show some class
    Why'd you have to move so fast?

    We don't have to take our clothes off
    To have a good time, oh, no
    We could dance and party all night
    And drink some cherry wine, oh, oh

    Just slow down if you want me
    A man wants to be approached cool and romantically, oh, oh
    I've got needs just like you
    And if the conversation's good
    Vibrations through and through, oh, oh

    So come on baby, won't you show some class
    Why'd you have to move so fast?

    [2x]
    We don't have to take our clothes off
    To have a good time, no, oh
    We could dance and party all night
    And drink some cherry wine, oh, oh

    [2x]
    We don't have to take our clothes off
    To have a good time, oh, oh
    We could dance and party all night
    And drink some cherry wine, oh, oh


    'c'mon baby won't you show some class'

    love it!

    "Dont come around here no more" - have to say i love the video to this but i guess its romance when it's dead, still slightly insulting :) - Tom Petty


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 64 ✭✭GeneralVanilla




    bend your ass on over and touch your toes.
    hold your breath, imma hold my nose.


    its the subtle ambiguous digs that are the worst.

    "Don't know about your brain but you look alright."

    NSFW

    Possible winner here

    Love song by Pete Pamf

    Heard this live and it's inspired by his X girlfriend who was constantly late on date as far as I remember and perhaps treated him
    Badly

    The lyrics are available somewhere if you google the.

    His "mates" were using him for drugs at drug fuelled parties at his gaff.

    That was a song for them and his dealers I think

    I still can't get over some people's desire to be insulted.


    Going out of your way to declare yourself a victim doesn't make you a victim. It doesn't mean you are entitled to sympathy or the moral high ground, actually it's the opposite since you are taking those from real victims.

    Ye i have heard thats the meaning but when I heard the song first myself, I interpreted it as a love song..or break up song with lyrics like "you tangle my emotions" :)

    Slightly off topic, but a similar idea - this is a very funny read

    REM - The one I love. Not the happy clappy song the title suggests...



    In the last verse it switches to "another prop has occupied my time"

    I always found it funny that some people regarded it as a love song, it's very much not!
    That and "I'll be watching you" :eek:

    I don't like bruno one, what is it. Let's do something stupid and get married but don't tell anyone
    Real romantic

    Todd in the Shadows has a video on pretty much this topic. (Specifically a list of songs depicting mediocre romance.)

    Ha one he talks about on there from Flight of the Concords - "you could be a part-time model" :)

    Huey Lewis and the news

    Happy to be stuck with you

    We've had some fun, and yes we've had our ups and downs
    Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around
    We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
    We thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late
    We are bound by all the rest
    Like the same phone number
    All the same friends
    And the same address

    Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I am happy to be stuck with you
    Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
    'Cause I can see, (I can see) that you're happy to be stuck with me

    We've had our doubts, we never took them seriously
    And we've had our ins and outs, but that's the way it's supposed to be
    We thought about giving up, but we could never stay away
    Thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late
    And it's no great mystery
    If we change our minds
    Eventually, it's back to you and me

    Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I am happy to be stuck with you
    Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
    'Cause I can see, (I can see) that you're happy to be stuck with me

    We are bound by all the rest
    Like the same phone number
    All the same friends
    And the same address

    Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I am happy to be stuck with you
    Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
    'Cause I can see, (I can see) that you're happy to be stuck with me
    (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
    I'm happy to be stuck with you
    Happy to be stuck with you.
