Inspired by @Melody1 including snatches of lyrics to the What Are You Currently Listening To topic…What are your favourite lyrics? They can be meaningful to you, funny, clever or profound. Post your favourites and tell us why you like them!
I’ll kick it off with this from Anagram by Rush, a song that’s lyrics are made of quasi-anagrams, but the sentences make sense.
“He and she are in the house, but there’s only me at home”
I love that line because it implies a couple that may or may not be in relationship trouble, but it makes sense telling you that “house” does contain “he” and “she” etc!
“You’re the only girl that I like to screw
When I’m not on the road
When I come home, my dinner’s made
And the front lawn is mowed
I’ll kiss your mouth
Even after you swallow my load”
You knew that talking dirty to me on the phone would get me here, cause we both wanted to do this but I could tell that you were scared, cause you thought there was more to us but you knew how this would end, it’s gonna end how you expected, girl, you’re such a masochist and I ask why, and you reply, I like the thrill, nothing’s gonna make me feel this real, so baby don’t go home, I don’t wanna spend tonight alone, baby please, would you end your night with me?
Favourite ever? Toto - Africa. “The wild dogs cry out in the night, as they grow restless, longing for some solitary company. I know that I must do what’s right, as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti”
Purely because it’s so ridiculously OTT and the fact that Kilimanjaro isn’t actually anywhere near the Serengeti. And isn’t ‘solitary company’ an oxymoron? Whoever wrote the lyrics must have been having a mental block and struggling for something to rhyme…
There’s a time and place for everything, there’s a reason why certain people meet… Jaded (These Years) by Mest
The footsteps that were next to me have gone their separate ways, I’ve seen enough now, to know that beautiful things don’t always stay that way… The River by Good Charlotte
On a lighter note…
I got no motivation, where is my motivation? Longview by Green Day
So good you’ve got to abuse it,
So fast that sometimes you lose it.
It’s chews you up when you feed it,
But everyone needs to eat.
Am I too much for you,
Cause your too much for me.
You still wanna be, corrupted.
