Odd song lyrics

    “Should I stay or should I go now?
    Should I stay or should I go now?
    If I go there will be trouble
    An’ if I stay it will be double”


    Now in fairness lads, you’ve answered your own question there really.

    The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,
    always had a smile and a reason to pretend.
    But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream.
    The sidewinder sleeps on his back.

    Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
    Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
    I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
    Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
    Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
    I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
    Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
    I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
    I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.

    We've got to moogie, moogie, move on this one.


    cant believe no-one posted this doozie yet.....chr1st I hated REM, and lyris like these profound gems as well as the mono-tone voice was why i could barely restrain myself from punching the sh1t out of the radio :mad::mad::mad:

    "Are we human or are we dancer"
    There was hapes of people complaining about the lyrics, but I thought it was a good song so I didn't care.

    I can't listen to "I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier"
    without thinking of Bill Bailey and his "I've got ham, but I'm not a hamster" version.

    "Broken Face"

    I got a broken face
    I got a
    I got a broken face
    Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
    I got a broken face [3x]

    There was this boy who had two
    Children with his sisters
    They were his daughters
    They were his favourite lovers

    I got no lips, I got no tongue
    Where there were eyes there's only space
    I got no lips, I got no tongue

    I got a broken face, uh-hu, uh-hu
    I got a broken face

    There was this man who snapped his poke
    In little pieces
    And then they drilled holes
    And then they put 'em back in there

    I got no lips, I got no tongue
    Where there were eyes there's only space
    I got no lips, I got no tongue

    I got a broken face
    Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
    I got a broken face

    The little thing who loves my laundry
    Speaks no English
    But if you saw her
    You'd say "Hey isn't she lovely"

    I got no lips, I got no tongue
    Where there were eyes there's only space
    I got no lips, I got no tongue

    Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
    The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
    turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
    Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
    Still, it's so much clearer.
    I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.
    The moon is low tonight.

    Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
    I'm not sure all these people understand.
    It's not like years ago,
    The fear of getting caught,
    of recklessness and water.
    They cannot see me naked.
    These things, they go away,
    replaced by everyday.


    and this is yet another "gem" :mad:

    You can add just about any Pixies lyric to the list.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,201 ✭✭✭languagenerd


    Can't believe no-one's mentioned Rebecca Black yet :p

    The song I always find weird is a Biffy Clyro one ("Born on a Horse") where he sings "I've never had a lover/who's my sister or my brother before" - well, I'd hope not!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,911 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    was oingo bongo mentioned?

    "I LIKE LITTLE GIRLS, THEY MAKE ME FEEEEEEL GOOOOOOD" - pure gold there!

    Outside of that, the song was pure poetry :pac:

    'One way ticket to hell and back' was a pretty stupid lyric.

    There was an episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks (one of the Mark Lemarr ones) where they played some heavy metal grunting sh*te. Didn't know the singers actually had lyrics they were supposed to be singing for those.

    All I can remember that it was some self-obsessed, pretentiously morbid sh*te.

    To this day, the stupidest lyric I ever heard


    First time he heard that song my uncle was horrified and asked why they were singing "What she gonna look like with a JIMMY on her?" still makes me laugh every time I hear it

    Back on topic "I do do will miss u much. Miss u much". There are many many more, but that's the first that popped into my head

    Bent across the wall, held she cannot budge
    With the broken bottle in my hand I cut her arse like fudge
    Blood pours on my shirt, the wench begins to whine
    As violent pain and agony tickles up her spine

    He laughs and licks his lips as her bowels drop on the floor
    Watching as she floods the ground with putrid grime and gore
    The pain inside it gets too much, his victim passes out
    He stamps and hits and batters hard nad kicks her while she's down

    Rectal rape with splintered glass
    pushed with force up the victims arse
    Razor slices need to be stitched
    as the arse cheeks split to bits

    Feeling numb, beaten, abused
    Lying still. after being abused

    F*ck...Your...Arse...With broken glass
    F*ck your arse with broken glass

    These sick pleasures people find
    >From raping people from behind

    Bent across the wall, held she cannot budge
    Bottle in my hand, I cut her arse like fudge
    Blood pours on my shirt, the wench begins to whine
    Pain and agony tickles up her broken spine

    F*ck...Your...Arse...With broken glass
    F*ck your arse with broken glass


    a nice number called "F*ck your arse with broken glass " by gorerotted

    "Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak.
    Somewhere in this town"



    I reckon it'll most likely be at the jail.

    Is this sh*te lyrics or just odd? They don't necessarily mean the same thing (see: Broken Face mentioned earlier, which is odd, but not actually bad lyrics).

    Jeffrey Lewis' song has a weird lyric bit in the middle, I always smile when I hear it:

    Kisses are weird but they can be fun
    Instead of shaking hands it's like shaking tongues
    I wish I got to do it more when I was young
    Kisses are weird but they can be fun
    I hate going months and months without kissing anyone

    At this point it's been since uh...how many months
    One, two, three, four ... five, six ... seven ...
    I think if kissing someone could make them Pregnant
    The last person I kissed would have had their kid by now

    For seriously disturbing and messed-up lyrics, here's Young Girl:

    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.

    A song for a child molester if I ever heard one.

    It's "I said I think I remember the film, I" and then leads into the next line. If it's confusion over the first line, Breakfast At Tiffany's is a film that you should watch because it's brilliant.

    Hey girl, I got somethin' real important to give you
    So just sit down and listen
    Girl you know we've been together such a long, long time (such a long time)
    And now I'm ready to lay it on the line
    (Wooow) You know it's Christmas and my heart is open wide (open wide)
    Gonna give you something so you know what's on my mind (what is on my mind)
    A gift real special, so take off the top
    Take a look inside -- it's my dick in a box (it's in a box)

    (Whispered) Let me be your hero

    Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
    Would you run and never look back
    Would you cry if you saw me crying
    Would you save my soul tonight?

    Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
    Would you laugh oh please tell me these
    Now would you die for the one you love?
    Hold me in your arms tonight?

    (Chorus)
    I can be you hero baby
    I can kiss away the pain
    I will stand by you forever
    You can take my breath away

    Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
    Would you lie would you run away
    Am I in to deep?
    Have I lost my mind?
    I don't care you're here tonight

    Chorus

    I just want to hold you (2x)
    Am I in too deep?
    Have I lost my mind?
    Well I don't care you're here tonight

    Chorus (2x)

    You can take my breath my breath away
    I can be your hero

    He asks can he be her hero and then asks her would she do nine things. :confused:

    And women like this sh*te. :rolleyes:

    (In the voice of a singing pirate!)

    "Who's that small man?
    What does he do?
    He killed that monkey with a shoe!

    Why a monkey?
    Why his boot?
    Because he had a belly full of loot!"


    Some legend lyrics from Alestorm!

    You for real? The vast majority of their songs have anything but dodgy lyrics.

    In saying that,

    "I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak messing with a smoke alarm
    It was too loud for me to hear her speak, and she had a broken arm"

    seems a bit of a "hmmm, what ryhmes with 'alarm?' moment!

    You, your sex is on fire....Kings of Leon

    The entire born slippy song by underworld:

    you are my dog boy
    your real boy
    speak to me and boy dog
    dirty numb crackin' boy

    Brimful of asha by cornershop:

    everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
    everybody needs a bosom

    Anyone remember that awful geng geng geng geng song??

    Californication by the chillis

    Pay your surgeon very well
    to break the signs of ageing
    celebrity skin is this your chin
    or is it war you're waging

    I wish I was little bit taller,
    I wish I was a baller
    I wish I had a girl who looked good
    I would call her
    I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
    and a '64 Impala


    .........rrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiight...............
