    i've known him all my life
    it seems so inconceviable
    at thirteen we shooks hands but we've
    been always inseparable
    he's cinnamon on my toast we're so
    close

    that's not to say we haven't had our
    share of arguments
    he's so unpredictable he winks
    acknowledgments
    when i would rather he closed his eye
    than push me aside

    my hand's a five leaf clover
    it's palm sunday over and over
    i never had the luck of swingers
    till i was wrapped around your finger

    he's my best friend
    he's my best friend
    he's my best friend
    i'm his best friend
    he's my best friend

    you don't need a brain to have a
    stroke of genius
    or a beautiful girl to let down
    your curls
    cause growing up is hard enough
    when your a powderkeg for
    powderpuffs
    (whether we're stayin' in or hanging out)
    i'd never ask another on a date to
    the ball
    he doesn't need a rubber sweater or
    alcohol
    cause he gets tipsy from exchanging looks
    and a little misty reading sticky
    blue dirty books

    but he's my best friend
    he's my best friend
    i'm his best friend
    he's my best friend

    my hand's a five leaf clover
    it's palm sunday over and over
    i never had the luck of swingers
    till i was wrapped around your finger

    he's my best friend
    (we could hold hands for hours)
    he's my best friend
    (in the bedroom or shower)
    he's my best friend
    (i pick him up when he's feelin down)
    he's my best friend
    (i guess he's always been hangin around)
    he's my best friend
    (he gets lonely now and then)
    he's my best friend
    (and he gets shy around another men)
    I'm his best friend
    (it seems i've reached the end of my best friend)

    Long long LONG before Britney & The Script had their double entendre titles there was an Irish band (with an australian singer) called "The Far Canals" Who's debut album & single were called "If You See Kay" Now say it out loud in an aussie accent: The Far Canals: If You See Kay

    You've also got The Vapors: Turning Japanese (****), Transvision Vamp: Baby I Don't Care (One Night Stands), Even The Beatles "I want to hold your hand" is about sex. Every song has a double meaning, usually it's about wanting to shag someone

    Tis actually a hidden message for a recipe for great soup.

    She gave me the Queen
    She gave me the King
    She was wheelin' and dealin'
    Just doin' her thing
    She was holdin' a pair
    But I had to try
    Her Deuce was wild
    But my Ace was high
    But how was I to know
    That she'd been dealt with before
    Said she'd never had a Full House
    But I should have known
    From the tattoo on her left leg
    And the garter on her right
    She'd have the card to bring me down
    If she played it right

    She's got the jack, she's got the jack
    She's got the jack, she's got the jack
    She's got the jack, she's got the jack
    She's got the jack, she's got the jack
    She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
    She's got the jack

    Poker face was her name
    Poker face was her nature
    Poker straight was her game
    If she knew she could get you
    She played 'em fast
    And she played 'em hard
    She could close her eyes
    And feel every card
    But how was I to know
    That she'd been shuffled before
    Said she'd never had a Royal Flush
    But I should have known
    That all the cards were comin'
    From the bottom of the pack
    And if I'd known what she was dealin' out
    I'd have dealt it back

    She's got the jack, she's got the jack
    She's got the jack, and who knows what else?
    She's got the jack, yeah, yeah
    She's got the jack, she's got the jack
    She's got the jack, she's got the jack
    She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
    She's got the jack

    She's got the jack, she's got the jack,
    Ooh, It was a bad deal, (Jack)
    She gave me the (Jack), hey
    She's got the (Jack), she's got the (Jack)
    She's got the (Jack), ooh can't you tell
    She's got the (Jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack)
    (She's got the jack, she's got the Jack)
    She's got the jack, she's got the Jack
    She's got the jack, you never know!
    She's got the jack, she's got the jack
    She's got the jack
    She's got the jack, and it hurts!
    (She's got the jack)
    She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
    She's got the jack
    Aaaaaah!

    Oooooh!
    (Thank you, thank you, thank you people, thank you, thank you
    I'm glad you like the show, yes, thank you very much folks.
    Goodnight and God bless!)

    I thought it was toast but turns out he was singing about marmite!

    (although in an interview with Channel 4, drummer Jet Black quipped it was a song about Marmite).

    Avril Lavigne had a funny one.

    If I could say what I want to say
    I'd say I want to blow you--away
    Be with you every night
    Am I squeezing you too tight?
    If I could see what I want to see
    I want to see you go down--on one knee
    Marry me today
    Guess I'm wishing my life away
    With these things I'll never say

    I did enjoy the script one too. Made me smile when I copped it halfway through the song.

    That was just a coincidence, The Beatles have all said this many times.

    Title of the song was based on a picture John Lennons son drew called "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds"
    John Lennons son was on LSD....

    damn wayward hippy parents





    in all seriousnesss though you're totally right :)

    Cracker little pop song about heroin.. Lee Mavers, the lead singer was an addict..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,916 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Everyone has aids on the soundtrack of the Team America World Police


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,707 ✭✭✭MikeC101


    Perfect Day, by Lou Reed. The song is actually pretty bleak, and possibly about heroin. (Though perhaps Heroin was the one about heroin, who knows).

    Which is why I found the BBC / charity single version a bit off.

    So eh.... what's 'if you seek amy' mean then?

    I'm not hip with all this jive talking turkey lingo that the kidz are using on the bebo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭A-Trak


    You might not get it on the 1st play, but the subtle message is about being on a boat

    Foo Fighters - All My Life

    Listen to the chorus.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 578 ✭✭✭Elba101


    The La's - There she goes - because people think it's such a happy song, but it ain't that happy. But it always puts me in a good mood.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 139 ✭✭TheBastard


    Beetlebum by blur is apparantly about Heroin, Albarn and his moth from elastica where meant to have messed around with it a bit.;)



    Beetlebum
    What you've done
    She's a gun
    Now what you've done
    Beetlebum
    Get nothing done
    You beetlebum just get numb
    Now what you've done
    Beetlebum

    [Chorus]
    And when she lets me slip away
    She turns me on all my violence is gone
    Nothing is wrong
    I just slip away and I am gone
    Nothing is wrong
    She turns me on
    I just slip away and I am gone

    Beetlebum
    Because you're young
    She's a gun
    Now what you've done
    Beetlebum
    She'll suck your thumb
    She'll make you come
    Coz, she's your gun
    Now what you've done
    Beetlebum
