might be going soft in my old age but loving this

"I like to singy, singy, singy, like a bird on the wingy, wingy, wingy"

What does this even fucking mean?

'Bird on a wire'...OK. But...what?

I quite like this song:



But I think they got a four year-old to write the lyrics:

well at least they sort of had a decent idea


What can you do
You're in a stew
Hot hot cook it up
I'm never gonna stop
Fancy a bite
My appetite
Yum yum gee it's fun
Banging on a different drum

"Are we human or are we dancer?"

When did the 2 become mutually exclusive?

Traveling in a fried-out combie.
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie.
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous.


errrrr ok








for 30 years I have thought they were singing ' where women blow , and men chunder! ....you better take cover

Wayne Carr (Chris Morris) interveiwing 2Unlimited about the song There's No Limits (no no no no no no no no no no no ther's no limits)

They are justfied and they are ancient and they like to roam the land (drive an icecream van)

There is nowt wrong with those lyrics, dawny. Take it back.

KLF realised their error and brought in Extreme Noise Terror to ensure you can't understand a word that's being said

G'day Dawnbreak.

Here you go sunshine, no more mistaking the lyrics ...

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lyin' in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
Yeah!

Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover!

Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover!

ME TOO!!

Well I'm glad I'm sort of "lyric blind" I listen to songs for rhythm and melody, the music itself, the sound of a voice is more important to me than what's sung a lot of the time. I do remember some lyrics though.

I can't stand the zig a zig ahh...what does it mean?!

There's a The Jam song with the lyric, "...I lost an era, day-dreaming as I do", which I was convinced for ages was, "I lost an ear a day, dreaming like I do".

Although they did refer to, "braying sheep on my TV screen" in Going Underground. I thought it was donkeys that brayed, and sheep baaahhrd. Or have I misheard that too?

Also, in that Moonlight Shadow song, there's no necessity to say, "4am in the morning", is there! 4am couldn't very well be in the afternoon.

Excellent point, well made, Gilly-bean.

As the thread has evolved "chocolate gooly island breeze" still sounds like "chocolate gooly island breeze" however many times I'm told the right lyrics.
