    Went completely over my head as a kid:


    I wanna know, just what to do
    Is it very big, is there room for two?
    I got a house with windows and doors
    I'll show you mine if you show me yours

    Catchy tune though...

    Who would have known that Gary Glitter's 'My Gang' was about the paedophile ring he was the overlord of..

    Besides Gaz himself.

    Brenda Ann Spencer (born April 3, 1962) is a convicted American murderer who carried out a shooting spree from her home in San Diego, California, on January 29, 1979. During the shooting spree, she killed two people and injured nine others at Cleveland Elementary School, which was located across the street from her home. Spencer showed no remorse for her crime, and her full explanation for her actions was "I don't like Mondays; this livens up the day,", which inspired the song "I Don't Like Mondays" by The Boomtown Rats. The song was a UK number one single for four weeks in mid-1979.




    only found this out recently, I thought it was an innocent song...

    Though perhaps not an "innocent" song, I remember our teachers let us dance to this in primary school, presumably unaware of the lyrics... :D



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭cloptrop


    You say it best when you say nothing at all.
    This was Ronon Keatings way of making his missus think he was singing a song for her , but also letting his dancer bit on the side know that he hated listenin to his missus and loved it when she shut her yapper.

    This makes him a musical genius and obviously more talented than the gay westlife fella that cant hold onto his boyfriend cause he dumped him , Ronon would never get dumped.

    Song like these have ruined our innocence to songs like this..

    Hey little girl is your daddy home
    Did he go and leave you all alone
    I got a bad desire
    oooh I'm on fire

    Tell me now baby is he good to you
    Can he do to you the things that I do
    I can take you higher
    oooh I'm on fire

    Sometimes it's like someone took a knife
    baby edgy and dull
    and cut a six inch valley
    through the middle of my soul

    At night I wake up with the sheets
    soaking wet and
    a freight train running
    through the middle of my head -
    only you can cool my desire

    oooh I'm on fire......

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:



    The song is about a man who wakes up with night sweats lusting for a woman - he feels like he's on fire when he suddenly awakes. Springsteen writes using the voice of many different characters, and they often have some kind of unpleasant ordeal to endure.

    It took me a fair while to realise the song was about
    a young guy getting off with a transvestite

    Ah yes, another little gem from the 90s! That did the rounds in primary school too, even though one could get in serious trouble for looking up the "s word" in the dictionary... the only song I remember us not being allowed listen to was South Park's "Mr Hankey" song, leading our principal to say this immortal line: "I don't want to hear anymore about that disgusting song about poo!". Not something you hear everyday. :D

    (Controversial because some people interpreted the meaning of the song as about paedophilia and feelings towards a teenage girl. Suggestions which Van morrison was disgusted by.)
    Well, I'm caught one more time
    Up on Cyprus Avenue
    Caught one more time
    Up on Cyprus Avenue

    And I'm conquered in a car seat
    Not a thing that I can do

    I may go crazy
    Before that mansion on the hill

    I may go crazy
    Before that mansion on the hill
    But my heart keeps beating faster
    And my feet can't keep still

    And all the little girls rhyme something
    On the way back home from school
    And all the little girls rhyme something
    On the way back home from school

    And the leaves fall one by one
    And call the autumn time a fool

    Yeah, my t-tongue gets tied
    Every, every, every time I try to speak
    My tongue gets tied
    Every time I try to speak

    And my inside shakes just like a leaf on a tree
    I think I'll go on by the river with my cherry, cherry wine
    I believe I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine
    If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine

    Wait a minute, yonder come my lady
    Rainbow ribbons in her hair
    Yonder come my lady
    Rainbow ribbons in her hair

    Six white horses and a carriage
    She's returning from the fair
    Baby, baby, baby

    And I'm caught one more time
    Up on Cyprus Avenue
    And if I'm, yeah, caught one more time
    Up on Cyprus Avenue

    And I'm conquered in a car seat
    And I'm looking straight at you

    Way up on, way up on, way up on
    The avenue of trees

    Keep walking down
    In the wind and the rain, darling
    You keep walking down when the sun shone through the trees

    Nobody, no, no, no, no, nobody stops me from loving you baby
    So young and bold, fourteen-year old
    Baby, baby, baby

    Great song, on the subject of paedophilia, how about a song explicitly about having a threesome ith 2 15yo groupies

    I'm not sure that's meant to be rude. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that it's just a collection of words that don't actually mean anything; like the ramblings of a simpleton with a type of Tourette's that causes them to shout out random statements and questions.

    Here's something from stalkery Sting:

    Every breath you take
    Every move you make
    Every bond you break
    Every step you take
    I'll be watching you

    Every single day
    Every word you say
    Every game you play
    Every night you stay
    I'll be watching you

    O can't you see
    You belong to me
    How my poor heart aches with every step you take

    Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you

    Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
    I dream at night I can only see your face
    I look around but it's you I can't replace
    I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
    I keep crying baby, baby please

    Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you
