    For me, it would have to be 'I am the Walrus' by the Beatles, none of that song makes any sense!
    Here we go:
    I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
    See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
    I'm crying.

    Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
    Corporation t-shirts, stupid bloody Tuesday.
    Man, you've been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
    I am the eggman (woo), they are the eggmen (woo), I am the walrus,
    RIGHT: goo goo goo joob
    WRONG: Koo koo kachoo.

    Mister City P'liceman sitting
    Pretty little policemen in a row.
    See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
    I'm crying.
    I'm cry, I'm crying, I'm cry.

    Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
    Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
    Boy, you been a naughty girl and you let your knickers down.
    I am the eggman (woo), they are the eggmen (woo), I am the walrus,
    goo goo gajoob.

    Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
    If the sun don't come, you get a tan from
    Standing in the English rain.
    I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
    goo goo gajoob ga goo goo gajoob.

    Expert texpert choking smokers,
    Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha)
    See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide.
    I'm crying.

    Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
    Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna.
    Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
    I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
    goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob goo googoooooooooooojoob

    tis strange but i love it!

    Anything by the Fall. Example:

    When it's a blot on the English landscape"

    Always gives me a chuckle.

    Grateful Dead. Not taking the lazy route out here, but take your pick.

    Edit: I felt lazy, so I picked this.
    China Cat Sunflower
    Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia

    Look for awhile at the China Cat Sunflower
    proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun
    Copper-dome Bodhi drip a silver kimono
    like a crazy-quilt stargown
    through a dream night wind

    Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana
    like a one-eyed Cheshire
    like a diamond-eye Jack
    A leaf of all colors plays
    a golden string fiddle
    to a double-e waterfall over my back

    Comic book colors on a violin river
    crying Leonardo words
    from out a silk trombone
    I rang a silent bell
    beneath a shower of pearls
    in the eagle wing palace
    of the Queen Chinee

    Oh, the snot has caked against my pants.
    It has turned into crystal.

    I guess I'll take my pistol.

    Some Van Dyke Parks stuff is cryptic\bizarre
    try this Beach boys Classic
    Surf's Up
    A diamond necklace played the pawn
    Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
    To a handsome man and baton
    A blind class aristocracy
    Back through the op'ra glass you see
    The pit and the pendulum drawn
    Columnated ruins domino

    Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
    Are you sleeping?

    Hung velvet overtaken me
    Dim chandelier awaken me
    To a song dissolved in the dawn
    The music hall a costly bow
    The music all is lost for now
    To a muted trumperter swan
    Columnated ruins domino

    Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
    Are you sleeping, Brother John?

    Dove nested towers the hour was
    Strike the street quicksilver moon
    Carriage across the fog
    Two-Step to lamplight cellar tune
    The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne

    The glass was raised, the fired rose
    The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
    While at port, adieu or die

    A choke of grief HEART hardened I
    Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

    Surf's Up
    Aboard a tidal wave
    Come about hard and join
    The young and often spring you gave
    I heard the word
    Wonderful thing
    A children's song

    Child, child, child, child, child
    A child is the father of the man
    Child, child, child, child, child
    A child is the father of the man
    A children's song
    Have you listened as they played
    Their song is love
    And the children know the way
    That's why the child is the father to the man
    Child, child, child, child, child
    Child, child, child, child, child
    Na na na na na na na na
    Child, child, child, child, child
    That's why the child is the father to the man
    Child, child, child, child, child

    The new rubbi..i mean song by the master of the universe Bono and his friends...
    Get on your boots..

    Future needs a big kiss
    Winds blow with a twist
    Never seen a move like this
    Can you see it too
    Night is falling everywhere
    Rockets hit the funfair
    Satan loves a bomb scare
    But it won't scare you

    Hey...Sexy Boots
    Get on your Boots
    Yeah...

    Free me from the dark dream
    Candy bars, ice cream
    All the kids are screaming but the ghosts arent real
    Heres what you gotta be
    Love & community
    Laughter is eternity if the joy is real

    You dont know how beautiful
    You dont know how beautiful
    You are...
    You dont know
    You get it do you
    You dont know
    How beautiful you are...

    If someones into blowing up
    Were into growing up
    Women are the future
    All the big revelations
    Ive gotta submarine
    Youve got gasoline
    I dont wanna talk about wars between nations
    Not right now

    Sexy Boots
    Get on your Boots
    Yeah...
    Foxy boots

    Father O'bliviion lyrics

    Get on your feet an' do the funky Alfonzo!
    Father Vivian O'Blivion
    Resplendent in his frock
    Was whipping up the batter
    For the pancakes of his flock
    He was looking rather bleary
    (He forgot to watch the clock)
    'Cause the night before
    Behind the door
    A leprechaun had stroked, yes . . .
    The night before
    Behind the door
    A leprechaun had stroked (he stroked it) . . .
    The night before
    Behind the door
    A leprechaun had stroked . . . his . . .
    Sma-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah
    Ahhh (stroked his smock)
    Which set him off in such a frenzy
    He sang LOCK AROUND THE CROCK
    An' he topped it off with a . . .
    An' he topped it off with a . . .
    An' he topped it off with a . . .
    WOO WOO WOO
    WOO WOO WOO
    WOO WOO WOO
    As he stumbled on his ____
    He was delighted as it stiffened
    And ripped right through his sock
    Oh, Saint Alfonzo would be proud of me
    PROUD OF ME
    He shouted down the block
    Dominus Vo-bisque 'em
    Et come spear a tu-tu,
    Oh!
    Won't you eat my sleazy pancakes
    Just for Saintly Alfonzo
    They're so light 'n fluffy-white
    We'll raise a fortune by tonite
    They're so light 'n fluffy-white
    We'll raise a fortune by tonite
    They're so light 'n fluffy-brown
    They're the finest in the town
    They're so light 'n fluffy-brown
    They're the finest in the town
    Good morning, your Highness
    Ooo-ooo-ooo
    I brought you your snow shoes
    Ooo-ooo-ooo
    Good morning, your Highness
    Ooo-ooo-ooo
    I brought you your snow shoes

    The elegant simplicty of Aphex Twin's "Milk Man":

    I wish the milk man would deliver my milk, in the morning
    I wish the milk man would deliver my milk, when I'm yawning (X5)

    I would like s ome milk from the milk man's wife's tits (x6)

    Or "Pearl's Girl" by Underworld:

    Rioja. rioja. reverend al green.
    Deep blue morocco. the water on stone.
    The water on concrete. the water on sand.
    The water on fire. smoke.
    The wind. the salt. the bride boat coming.
    Dave in the water. old man.
    Einstein on top of his house. white deep blue
    Andalusia red yellow red yellow black car.
    Red light. far. black place. walls. blue chair.
    Morocco. hamburg. paris.
    The pieces of the puzzle are waiting.
    The water of the dark boats gliding.
    The bride boats gone out to sea and
    Dave is floating. dave is floating.
    And old man einstein crazy in his attic.
    Crazy.

    White room. sun room. shadow room.
    Night transmitting cars across the room.
    These things sent to dance across the room.
    I watching from your bed. returning to you.

    ... Yeah makes perfect sense. In fact any site I look at has different vesions of the lyrics because nobody can determine fully what they're are since they can't use stuff like logic to work off of (given they're chosen for their sound rather than meaning).

    I'd just like to point out that I do NOT listen to this retarded band, heard the song on the radio. Actually lol'd.

    Bell X1 - The Great Defector

    I am the defector
    And you’re the farmer’s daughter
    You been teasing us farm boys
    Till we start talkin’ about those rabbits, George
    Oh won’t you tell us ‘bout those rabbits, George

    I am the defector
    I give it what it need
    Let’s make a new world order
    Let’s make it rhyme

    You’re the chocolate at the end of my Cornetto
    I love the way your underwire bra
    Always sets off that X-ray machine

    Comin’ into land and
    Now I love the colour of it all
    Blue lights on the runway
    I love the colour of it all

    I am the defector
    ‘Cause someone stirred my soul
    With that great big stick of hers
    Kinda looks like an oar

    The accountants have taken the movie
    Yeah, they’re on set
    The people from the mobile phone company
    Say who gets to play and who gets to not

    You’re a picture of the check out girl
    Hand me a plastic bag
    I got the sweats trying to open it
    As it all piles up, I wish I didn’t bite my nails

    Comin’ into land and
    Now I love the colour of it all
    Blue lights on the runway
    I love the colour of it all
    Getting ready to spill my guts and
    I love the colour of it all
    To the waitress on roller skates
    I love the colour of it all
    Oh the colour of it all

    I am the great defector
    So I must affect an air
    Of a man who’s maybe seen too much
    But still just manages to care

    Still you’re the chocolate at the end of my Cornetto
    I love the way your underwire bra
    Always sets off that X-ray machine

    Comin’ into land and
    Now I love the colour of it all
    Blue lights on the runway
    I love the colour of it all
    Getting ready to spill my guts and
    I love the colour of it all
    To the, to the waitress on roller skates
    I love the colour of it all
    Oh the colour of it all

    Waitress on roller skates [x8]
    (Love the colour of it all) [x2]
