Here's one;
"I've been drivin' all night,
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin',
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear"
Here's another one;
"Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the coloured girls say,
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
And then there was this cracker;
"Come on baby, eat the rich,
Put the bite on the son of a bitch,
Don't mess around, don't give me no switch,
C'mon baby eat the rich
C'mon baby eat the rich"
Jimi doing his stuff as only Jimi could;
"Oh! Move over, Rover
and let Jimi take over
Yeah, you know what I'm talking 'bout
Yeah, get on with it, baby
That's what I'm talking 'bout
Now dig this!
Ha!
Now listen, baby" |  |

Your country is
a wonderful place
it pales my England
into disgrace
to buy a trip there
is so much more reasonable
I think I'll go there
when it gets seasonable
Too many classics in this thread so I thought I'd chuck in a sh1t one ... |  | | |

Turn the ugly light off god
Want to feel the night
Everyday it shines down on me
Don't you think that I see
Don't you think that I see what it's all about
Hard to look the other way
While the world passes me by
And everyone is trying to bum me out
It's a pretty big world god
And I am awful small
Everyday they rain down on me
Flower in a hailstorm
Flower in a hailstorm
I'm living for the drought
I could throw it back at them
But then I play their game
Everyone is trying to bum me out
When I came into this world they slapped me
And everyday since then I'm slapped again
Tomorrow's king: an unsightly coward
You see, I know I'm gonna win
Turn the ugly light off god
Don't want to see my face
Everyday it will betray me
Don't you think that I know
Don't you think that I know what they're talking about
If they step on me tonight
They're gonna pay someday
Everyone is trying to bum me out |  | | |

Oops double post ... better say summat.
I've alwYs wondered is it:
"I see a ship in the harbour
I see a shallow bay"
or
"I see a ship in the harbour
I see and shall obey"
???
I suppose it 's what ever you want it to be. Which reminds me:
I'm gonna break out of the city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure
It's the kind of life to find
Tired of doing day jobs
With no thanks for what I do
I know I must be someone
Now I'm gonna find out who
Why don't you ask them what they expect from you ?
Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do
Do anything you wanna do!!
I don't need no politicians to tell me things I shouldn't be
Neither no opticians to tell me what I oughta see
No-one tells you nothing even when you know they know
They tell you what you should be
They don't like to see you grow
Why don't you ask them what they expect from you ?
Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do
Do anything you wanna do!!
Why don't you ask them what they expect from you ?
Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do
You get so lonely, maybe it's better that way
It's not you only, 'cause you got something to say
Do anything you wanna do!!! [Post edited 8 Dec 2015 14:38]

On candy stripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realize with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight.. |  | | |

I'm the spacemen type, chewing meteoric porridge
The asteroid arsenal's beefing up my courage
The Lunar Base burglar, sun spots burn you up
I'll be shooting stars at Mars, the planet murderer
My spaceship's flying, a red dwarf alliance
Drying up the milky ways, galactic pirates
Thugged out astronaut, my mind can't be rescued
I sniff stardust, manufactured off Neptune
I'm the cosmic gypsy, tipsy from plutonium whisky | | | |

Goodbye, little Robin-Marie
Don't try following me
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
'Cause you know I'm coming home soon
My ships' leaving on a three-year tour
The next tide will take us from shore
Windlaced, gather in sail and spray
On a search for the mighty sperm whale
Fly your willow branches
Wrap your body round my soul
Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
There are years behind us reaching
To the place where hearts are beating
And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet
And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet
Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon
The black man is playing his tune
An old salt's sleeping his watch away
He'll be drunk again before noon
Three years sailing on bended knee
We found no whales in the sea
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
'Cause we'll be in sight of land soon
Fly your willow branches
Wrap your body round my soul
Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
There are years behind us reaching
To the place where hearts are beating
And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet
And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet |
Squeeze cool.for.cats
The Sweeney's doing 90 cause they've got bo where to go
They get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow

There is so much confusion in the town
When she's passing through
All the cars are going backwards
All the traffic lights are turning to blue
I'm walking twenty yards behind her
'Cause I'm frightened of the damage she'd do.
Always raises a smile that last verse from Wilko Johnson's, Twenty Yards behind. Oh and this one from Donkey Rides Penny a Glass form The Small Faces.
Snowflakes falling like leaves in the summertime
Fishcakes, cabbage and mash
Oh the world is mine. |  |

What a cultured bunch on here. I'm amazed it only took about 10 mins for someone to recognise that.
That album has other "gems" on it -
Your hair was blond
Your eyes was blue
Not forgetting "every second counts, when I am with you' ...."
Isawqpr was right on BM.
New stuff sounds a bit pisspoor, though, if the freebie track with Uncut is anything to go by | | | |

The very first time I heard Peter Green doing the superb guitar intro to 'Oh Well' I knew I had to hear what he was going to sing next and then he laid these two brilliant verses on the World:
"I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Now, when I talked to God I knew he'd understand
He said, "Stick by my side and I'll be your guiding hand
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to"
Special mention for this verse from L&M
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Very strong lyrics from John Lennon and beautifully sung too.
Mother, you had me but I never had you
I wanted you, you didn't want me
So I, I just gotta tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Father, you left me but I never left you
I needed you, you didn't need me
So I, I just gotta tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk and I tried to run
So I, I just gotta tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Mamma, don't go
Daddy, come home | |

Did someone say 'Peter Green'? Nobody did despair quite like him:
Shall I tell you about my life
They say I'm a man of the world
I've flown across every tide
And I've seen lots of pretty girls
I guess I've got everything I need
I would't ask for more
And there's no one I'd rather be
But I just wish that I'd never been born

But not mine. |
"Jesus died for his own sins, not mine" I thought.

"Wanna join in a chorus, of the Amerasian blues?
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh city
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa papa-san take me home
See me got photo, photo, photograph of you
And mamma mamma mamma-san
Of you and mamma mamma mamma-san
Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid
It ain't coca-cola it's rice"
About American soldiers shagging Vietnamese women, getting them pregnant and ragaling on their promises to take them back to America for a better life... Just wow ! | | | |

DW, did you know the verse from WMiHP
"The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money"
Is a thinly veiled did at The Jam ? | | | |

I'm on the underground
sitting with a slim shot
run up in the Queen's Way
and rob her for the King's Cross
Then escape the temple
where the heist gets stashed
then I make a dash
quick for the Knightsbridge.
Cross the bridge then the military surface
so I make a break for the Piccadilly Circus
to see a girl they employ on the tightrope
in the slight hope she might know where to lie low
She sent me off to the angel on a black horse
where the Mile End's she led me to a trap door
Then she tapped more sonnet in a skill trend
When it opened up she led me off into Wille's Den
Through the razor sharp thickets caught bare cuts
bumped into Sloane so me and Sloane Squared up
But it was unfair cos Sloan had the hammer ready
So I disappeared knowing that the canon buries
I escaped with my life shackled
Then I met the Black Friars who hid me in a Whitechapel
Then they led me to a hide out in a Lime House
in a room for a week with the blinds down
Then I'm back on these streets that never missed us
Linked Shadwell to take me to his Seven Sisters
And to tell 'em I'll be selling them a parcel
and not to bother offering the Elephant & Castle
We done the deal in the park by the Royal Oak
as a monument, we're dealing with some loyal folk
they took my word for a case full of currency
then I head south to purchase some Surrey Quays
As I left, police in their war paints jumped on me quick
The sister's they're All Saints
They wouldn't snitch on me was my first thought
as I got sentenced to death up in Earl's Court | | | |

Always, no, sometimes think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream
That's probably my favourite Lennon line. I'd always thought that he sang 'Always know sometimes think it's me' but sometimes spelling and punctuation adds something even if the meaning is the same. | | | |

Under the deep red light I can see the make-up sliding down,
Well hey little girl you will always make up so take off that unbecoming frown,
As for me, well I'll find someone who's not going cheap in the sales,
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life and not keep going off the rails | |

A***holes, bastards, f***ing c*nts and p**cks
Aerosole the bricks
A lawless brat from a council flat
Oh,oh
A little bit of this and a little bit of that
Oh, oh
Dirty tricks
From the Mile End Road..........
All good clean fun from the late great Mr Dury! In fact the opening line might well best describe our floundering footballing neighbours me thinks.  | |

For today. Born 9th December 1965, died 29th April 2112.
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here. | | | |

Im Funky like a train

IM FUNKY LIKE A TRAIN.
@The Equals 'Funky like a train' 1976
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Three nights ago
I was at a disco
Man I wanted bump
I was rearing to go.
This big fat woman
bumped me on the floor.
She was rearing to go.
That chick was rearing to go.
Then she did a dip,
Almost broke my hip
She was getting down.
That chick was getting down.
She wanted to bump some mo,
But I told her no.
You done knocked me down once.
You done knocked me down once.
Said if you want to dance
Find you a big fat man.
Y'all gone and get on down.
Y'all gone and get on down.
Chorus:
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
Somebody take her.
She's too big for me.
She done knocked me down once, down once.
Somebody take her.
I don't want her.
She done hurt my hip.
She done knocked down.
Done hurt my hip.
She done knocked down
Somebody take her.
I don't want her.
Say LeRoy,
You can have this one too.
This big fat woman
I don't want her
joe tex 'aint gonna bump no more with no big fat woman' 1976
