Depending on my mood either:
"The dancing was desperate!
The music was worse!
They bury your dreams
and dig up the worthless."
On a lighter note:
"You came like a comet.
You know how it feels
to reach too far, too high.
You saw the whole of the Moon."

There and to the left a bit |
I particularly like the lyrical genius of Paul Weller in his hey day, especially his storytelling lyrics - Down In The Tube Station At Midnight is a perfect example with its menacing images of yobs who "smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs and too many right wing meetings"
Or the kitchen sink drama of Private Hell:

Private Hell
The Jam
Closer than close you see yourself -
A mirrored image of what you wanted to be.
As each day goes by a little more
You can't remember what it was you wanted anyway.
The fingers feel the lines they prod the space
Your ageing face the face that once was so beautiful,
is still there but unrecognizable
Private Hell.
The man who you once loved is bald and fat
And seldom in working late as usual.
Your interest has waned you feel the strain
The bed springs snap on the occasions he lies upon you
close your eyes and think of nothing but
Private Hell.
Think of Emma wonder what she's doing
Her husband Terry and your grandchildren.
Think of Edward who's still at college
You send him letters which he doesn't acknowledge.
'Cause he don't care,
They don't care.
'Cause they're all going through their own - Private Hell.
The morning slips away in a valium haze,
And catalogues and numerous cups of coffee.
In the afternoon the weekly food,
Is put in bags as you float off down the high street
The shop windows reflect - play a nameless host,
To a closet ghost - a picture of your fantasy
A victim of your misery - and Private Hell
Alone at 6 o'clock - you drop a cup
You see it smash - inside you crack
You can't go on - but you sweep it up
Safe at last inside your Private Hell.
Sanity at last inside your Private Hell.

In your heart, in your head, in your arms, in your bed under your skin
Til there’s no way to know where
you end, and where I begin
I wanna melt in, I wanna soak through
I only wanna move when you move
I wanna breathe out when you breathe in, then I wanna fade into you
Clare Bowen and Sam Palladio

My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm d*unk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make up  |

Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said,hey babe,take a walk on the wild side,
Said,hey honey,take a walk on the wild side. |

“I got one girl, I got two wheels
She a big girl, but ain't a big deal
I like a big girl, I like 'em sassy
Going down the backstreet listening to Blackstreet
Running around the whole town
Neighbors yelling at me like, "You need to slow down"
"Going thirty-eight, Dan, chill the fuck out
Mow your damn lawn and sit the hell down"

We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same.
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim.
Let the truth of love be lighted,
Let the love of truth shine clear.
Sensibility, armed with sense and liberty,
With the Heart and Mind united in a single perfect Sphere.

I don't mean to be so uptight, but my heart's been hurt a couple times
By a couple guys that didn't treat me right
I ain't gon' lie, ain't gonna lie
'Cause I'm tired of the fake love, show me what you're made of
Boy, make me believe
But hold up, girl, don't you know you're beautiful?
And it's easy to see

Your mind is just a program
And I'm the virus
I'm changing the station
I'll improve your thresholds
I'll turn you into a super drone (super drone)
And you will kill on my command
And I won't be responsible
Muse - Psycho

Baby, ooh baby
I love to call you baby
Baby, oh oh baby
I love for you to call me baby
When you squeeze me real tight
You make wrong things right
And I can't stop loving you
And I won't stop calling you

When your sparkle evades your soul
I'll be at your side to console
When your standing on the window ledge
I'll talk you back from the edge
I will turn your tide
Be your Shepard and your guide
When your lost in the deep and darkest place around
May my words walk you home safe and sound
When you say that I'm no good and you feel like walking
I need to make sure you know that's just the Prescription talking
When your feet decide to walk you on the wayward side
Up upon the stairs and down the downward slide
I will, I will turn your tide
Do all that I can to heal you inside
I'll be the angel on your shoulder
My name is Geraldine, I'm your social worker.. |

Son, I'm 30
I only went with your mother cos she's dirty
And I don't have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see yeah
I see it so, I take it freely
And all the bad piss ugly things I feed me
I never help or give to the needy
Come on and see me

"Roger Waters - Amused to Death
"Give any one species too much rope and they'll fuck it up"
His take on what us humans have done with our materialistic lives."
If you’re a Floyd fan and haven’t done so already, I highly recommend the live at Gdansk show, especially Gilmour’s epic solos in Comfortably Numb  |

Freedom ‘90 by George Michael is a personal favourite of mine. It’s lyrically very clever and looking back, George was almost coming out:

I'll pick some daisies
From the flower bed
Of the galaxy theater
While you clear your head
I thought some daisies
Might cheer you up

‘If dreams are like movies then memories are films about ghosts.’
Mrs Potters Lullaby - Counting Crows
The whole song is lyrically beautiful
‘When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in my bed’
It’s my favourite x |

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow
Sebastian - under the sea |
