Song Lyrics that are mad

    Some lyrics seem just daft. Like the one 'I wish i were a punk rocker with flowers in my hair' I never associated punks with flowers in the hair or elsewhere. Was the writer mixing them up with hippies?

    That’s the point. The next lines are

    In '77 and '69, revolution was in the air


    I was born too late into a world that doesn't care

    She’s consciously engaging in anemoia - nostalgia for times (both the Summer of Love and the Punk revolution) she didn’t experience. She’s comparing, contrasting and amalgamating them all at the same time.

    I still don't get it Punks didn't have flowers?

    McArthur Park a hit for Jimmy Webb when he was 18, is what's termed a nonsense song. The lyrics have no meaning but are just a combination on words and lines that fit the tune; 'someone left a cake out in the rain'



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,258 ✭✭✭saabsaab


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

    The jail perhaps?

    A weird song alright but if a cake is left out in the rain it will ruin it with the green icing flowing down. It is logical.

    Rosaleen Linehan's party piece, never recorded was; 'Soap your arse and slide backwards up a rainbow'.

    That bit in Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit:

    A mulatto, an albino

    A mosquito, my libido

    Makes absolutely no sense. Still brilliant though.

    "When you call my name it's like a little prayer

    I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

    In the midnight hour I can feel your power

    Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there"


    Ohhhh matron!

    And I sucked sweets,

    And I sucked rock

    And I even sucked an old man’s c*ck

    So What, So What

    And I’ve f***ed a sheep

    And I’ve f***ed a goat

    I’ve had my c*ck right down its throat

    So What, So What

    So What, So What, you boring little c*nt, who cares, who care’s what you do!?

    Who care’s, who cares about you?

    you, you, you, YOU


    SO WHAT - Anti-Nowhere League, made famous by metallica

    And thats just 1 verse......it gets worse

    The first 2 lines are nothing like that.

    It's: Well I've f##ked the Queen,I've f##ked Bach.

    I don't want to see a ghost

    It's a sight that I fear most

    I'd rather have a piece of toast

    And watch the evening news

    Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch

    Who watches over you

    Build a little birdhouse in your soul

    Not to put too fine a point on it

    Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

    Build a little birdhouse in your soul

    Have a nice day

    Come again


    Have a nice day

    Come again Come again Come again Come again


    Eat please eat

    You're much to familiar

    Everyday is a holiday hollandaise holocaust ham and eggs


    Firemen are your friends

    Firemen are big men strong men hairy men ham and eggs

    Come and touch your grandpa's lunch

    Because everyday is a holiday hollandaise holocaust ham and eggs


    Hang your dog outside the window

    Hang your dog outside the door

    Hang the dog

    Hang the Dog by Alice Donut

    If a Double Decker Bus crashes into us

    To die by your side, such a heavenly way to die

    And if a ten ton truck, kills the both of us

    To die by your side, oh the pleasure, the privilege is mine

    A song by The Smiths

    There's a busker playin' on the street

    Watching all the people meet

    The boys and girls are back in Dublin town

    There's young ones there from everywhere

    From America to God knows where

    It's just another night in Temple Bar

    So come on down, out on the town

    Cause' this is where a good time can be found

    So bring along the old squeeze box, the fiddle and guitar

    Let's have a good old night in Temple Bar

    There's a stag do here from Liverpool

    Chasing hens and on the boat

    Old Barney's lashing out the 'Rare Auld Times'

    Ah the Glasgow girls are on the floor

    And a round of shots have just been poured

    It's another crazy night in Temple Bar

    So come on down, out on the town

    Cause' this is where a good time can be found

    So bring along the old squeeze box, the fiddle and guitar

    Let's have a good old night in Temple Bar

    There is no better place to be than this old town tonight

    Nobody's going home till' they turn out the lights

    So come on down, out on the town

    Cause' this is where a good time can be found

    So bring along the old squeeze box, the fiddle and guitar

    Let's have a good old night in Temple Bar

    So come on down, out on the town

    Cause' this is where a good time can be found

    So bring along the old squeeze box, the fiddle and guitar

    Let's have a good old night in Temple Bar

    Let's have a good old night in Temple Bar

    There's a busker playing on the street

    Watching all the people meet

    For a song that many sing along to as a happy little summer song..... It's very rapey!

    "Girl I want to make you sweat

    Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more.

    And if you cry out I'm gonna push it

    Push it push it some more"

    (Inner Circle - Sweat)
