:eek: :eek:

What can I do to make light of this dull dull day
What switch can I pull to illuminate the way
Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention
We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention

What seed must I sow to replenish this barren land
Teach me to harvest I want you to grow in my hand
Lets be optimistic, lets say that we won't toil in vain
If we pull together we'll never fall apart again

We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention
We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention

Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

You bolded that, but not the "warm injection" part?

The Beatles could do it too,and get away with it.

From "Penny Lane":

...a four of fish and finger pie in summer meanwhile back...

Four of fish was fish and chips.
Finger pie was what Liverpool lassies gave Liverpool lads in return.

I suspect Lennon added the line,the scamp.

I'd always assumed this song was about stalking defenseless young women , but it turns out it's about Hobbits or something.

OutlawPete · 21-05-2011 05:48PM

The "warm injection" reminded me of:

"I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down

Happiness (is a warm gun, momma)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot
(When I hold you in my arms)
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!

And when I feel my finger on your trigger
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!"

The title is from an advertisement in a US gunshop that particularly amused Lennon.

Surprised you didn't post The Lemon Song by Zeppelin:

"Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg.
The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed."

Speaking of The Who as we were I've always been a bit disturbed about the lyrics of "Substitute"

Bearing in mind the essence of the song is that the "narrator" is a bit second-rate:

"I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth"
"I look pretty young but I'm just backdated"

What are we to make of the lyric:

"I look all white but my dad was black"?

BornToKill · 21-05-2011 06:37PM

The original stalking song: 'On the street where you live':

Does enchantment pour Out of ev'ry door?
No, it's just on the street where you live!
And oh! The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near.
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear!
People stop and stare. They don't bother me.
For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.

Oh, you've given me a nasty flashback to leaving cert English.

I cant sing along to this song anymore without thinking that the guy who wrote these lyrics , didn't have a Lolita complex going on after all it was the er , innocent 60s ....with lines like

''beneath your pigtails and makeup ,your just a baby in disguise ' and though you know that it's wrong to be ...alone with me ...that come on look is in your eyes

Deffo interfered with our minds .....

Young Girl ( Garry Pucket and The Union Gap )

(chorus )

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run girl,
You're much too young girl

With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You're old enough
To give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truth, Oh,

Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it is wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes, Oh,

(chorus )

So hurry home to your mama
I'm sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far, Oh,

Young girl get outta my mind
my love for you is way outta line
better run girl, your much too young girl

Aw, I love Grace Jones.

*as point of thread flies over my head*

OutlawPete · 21-05-2011 07:24PM

Ah nooooooooooooo, not Peter Gabriel too. Were we safe from anyone? :eek:

"You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer

Show me round your fruitcage
'cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

It's what we're doing, doing
All day and night.."

At least Ice-T's LGBNAF (1988) lets get butt naked and fúck got straight to the point

cml387 · 21-05-2011 07:35PM

And what about Abba?

Now, you're so cute
I like your style
And I know what you mean
When you give me a flash of that smile
But boy you're only a child

Lennon/McCartney were into bukkakes?!?

The Beatles - Come Together

"Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together .. right now, over me!"

Step away from the Google OP, what remains of your innocence is at risk if you continue on this path.
:pac:

bluecatmorgana · 21-05-2011 08:34PM

I used to listen to Alanis Morrissettes Jagged Little Pill
One of the songs had a line that went
"you want to wine dine 69 me"
cant remember which one, maybe no 5
Anyway I used to go around singing the whole album-loved it but hadnt a clue

A truly damning revelation.

On a related note, who would have believed a "bustle in your hedgerow" was not a euphamism

Now when you take me by the -
Who's ever gonna know?
Every time you move
I let a little more show
There's something you can use
So don't say no, Mickey!

So come on and give it to me anyway you can
Anyway you want to do it
I'll take it like a man
Oh, please baby, please
Don't leave me in the -
Damn, Mickey!

I was just listening to oul Mungo Jerry's classic Summertime when I was struck by the lyrics....

In the summertime when the weather's high,
you can stretch right up and touch the sky,
when the weather's fine,
you got women, you got women on your mind.
Have a drink, have a drive,
go out and see what you can find.

I remember hearing this tune in the early 90's and thinking it was one of the funniest things I've heard in a song. This was when oul Gay Byrne had not yet donned his Road Safety superhero attire and anti-drink driving adverts were few and far between.

Now, I don't condone drink driving but I just found it hilarious to hear a line like the above in a song about having a good time. These lines imply (in our new road safety context) that having a drink while driving and hitting a pedestrian/small animal is all part of the craic! WTF?!?!?! :eek::eek::eek:

Rubberlegs · 16-06-2011 05:37PM

Don't Mess with my Toot Toot, think it was Jean Knight in the 80s:eek:.
"Don't mess with my toot toot, I know you have another woman "
Somehow I instinctively knew to cringe as a child when this came on the radio. It just sounded durrrty:o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3ADektyDhM

Oh my little pretty one, pretty one
When you gonna give me some time Sharona
When you make my motor run, my motor run
Gun it coming, off the line Sharona

Never gonna stop, give it up
Such a dirty mind, always get it up
For the touch of the younger kind

police - dont stand so close to me

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking She's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't stand to close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, whe's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It's no use
He sees her
He starts to shake he starts to cough
Just like the old man in
That famous book by Nabakov

Don't stand so close to me

Our minds were interfered with!
