    :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? :confused:

    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. :confused:

    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"
    ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,053 ✭✭✭BornToKill


    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.

    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.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    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..
    "

    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.

    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

    I wish Toni Basil had tried interfering with me ... ;)


    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:

    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

    my sharona


    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
