Best opening song lyrics.

[sifty]

Yeah they came out a bit grim. Was trying to go round the world. Here's some lighter ones...

Dear god, hope you get the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
[XTC]

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
[The Las]

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
[Men Without Hats]

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard-earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
[Beatles]

 

[Keith 66]

"Well Billy was a boy who had a few ideas of his own, 45 hamsters in his home" Dayglo Abortions, Hide the Hamster surely the most awesomely bad song in the history of punk.

 

[moto748]

Small change got rained on with his own 38...

 

[sifty]

Spot on with Whole Lotta Rosie even if the goth stuff doesn't rock my rocks.

Yeah sorry just read the whole thread and it had already been posted. Gotta say I've picked up a few interesting bands to listen to...

 

[hop-a-long]

This one is one of my favorites.
It really showcases the singers voice.

Hope is your survival
A captive path I lead

 

[Stevieboy]

You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground,
And the clatter of the wheels as they spun 'round and 'round.
And he galloped into market street, his badge upon his chest,
His name was Ernie, and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

[sifty]

Wasn't till the last line till I recognised it....

 

[mickc]

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back

 

[alfajerry]

"brown" is slang for heroin.

Hence 'Golden Brown' by The Stranglers.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

While I hate to be predictable…

Summer Breeze makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

Cheers! :small

 

[Llamaman]

Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd-Webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the Queen and the crown
I don't know what tune that the orchestra played
But it went by me sickly and sentimental

 

[Llamaman]

The first hellrider came, on wings of plenty in the dark
Poured out his poison and he blew away his mark
The fascist from the east is coming, mothers hide your sons

The second hellrider came, from flaming seas and molten sands
Pipers playing Hell's commands
Poured out his poison, with his promises of promised lands
Blackened tongues of lying leaders

Here come the riders as the wheel of dharma's running out of time
Here come the riders as the wheel of dharma's running out of time

The third hellrider came, teaching brothers to kill brother men
And the fourth hellrider waits, on an acid trip for an acid world
Wars of old religious fools and superstitious men
Throw some scary Tarot cards and...

 

[Bjorn Toulouse]

OK i'm in

Walked along a beach in a force 10 gale
saw some hippys saving a whale

 

[Stevieboy]

On the fourth of July, 1806
We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the Grand City Hall in New York

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I am the question that cannot be answered
I am the lover that cannot be lost
Yet small are the gifts of my servant the soldier
For time is my offspring, pray what is my name?

How apposite.

Great album by the ISB my favourite of theirs

 

[GhostShip]

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub
Useless
I'll be as deaf as a post
If you hold me like a newborn

 

[robster62]

Hendrix not Dylan.

[marshbrewer]

Agadoo doo doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo, push pineapple, grind coffee


I'll get me coat .

 

[Donegal john]

Maggies so upset
Maggies so upset
Cause what she wants she just can’t get
She’s taken him home and the lights are low
Military march is on the radio
But there’s one little thing that stops the show
Willy whitelaws willy
Willy whitelaws Willy
It’s small and shrivelled and looks so silly it’s Willy whitelaws Willy.

 

[OldPeculiar]

When they call me broken, I knew...when they call me evil, I knew..
