Rylan and Scott

[Andy B]

Tonight I'm wound tighter than a watch spring

Tonight you owe my patience quite a debt

Tonight we're not gonna solve anything

I might say something that we both regret.

And now the presure's on the heat is rising

The time has come to stop apologising

and when the skies go clear,

the threat of rain is always here

with you.

[Grace]

I bought The Ting Tings' album last week, and I love the lyrics to Shut Up and Love Me Go (amongst others), and can really associate with them at the moment.

Shut up and let me go

This hurts I tell you so

For the last time you will kiss my lips

Now shut up and let me go

Your jeans were once so clean

I bet you've changed your wardrobe since we met

No oh so easily you're over me

Gone is love - it's you that ought to be

Holding me, I'm not containable

This time love is not sustainable

I ain't freaking, I ain't faking this,

Shut up and let me go.

Shut up and let me go

This hurts what I can't show

For the last time you have me in bits

Shut up and let me go

For fear of living in regret

I changed since from when we first met

No oh so easily you're over me

Gone is love - it's me that ought to be

Moving on you're not adorable

I want something un-ignorable

I ain't freaking, I ain't faking this.

Shut up a let me go.

(Oh love, hold this)

[YoppaDo]

It's the best song on their album for me, at least I know the lyrics now

[Guest]

I do like The Beatles. Lyrically, one of their most overlooked songs Hey Bulldog, happens to be one of my favourites (and it has a great piano riff).

Sheepdog, standing in the rain

Bullfrog, doing it again

Some kind of happiness is

measured out in miles

What makes you think you're

something special when you smile

Childlike no-one understands

Jackknife in your sweaty hands

Some kind of innocence is

measured out in years

You don't know what it's like

to listen to your fears

You can talk to me

You can talk to me

You can talk to me

If you're lonely, you can talk to me

Big man (yeah) walking in the park

Wigwam frightened of the dark

Some kind of solitude is

measured out in you

You think you know me, but you haven't got a clue

You can talk to me

You can talk to me

You can talk to me

If you're lonely, you can talk to me

[KingTutsWWH]

I do agree the Beatles take a lot of beating lyrics-wise.

[Behelzebub]

Felt as if I should be contributing to this thread - so what better contribution to make than some Rufus Wainwright lyrics? This one's called Vibrate, it's a relatively simple love song but it's something I can really relate to, it sums up a lot of how I feel when I fancy someone:

My phone's on vibrate for you

Electroclash is karaoke too

I tried to dance to Britney Spears

I guess I'm getting on in years

My phone's on vibrate for you

God knows what all these new drugs do

I guess to have no more fears

But still I always end up in tears

My phone's on vibrate for you

But still I never ever feel from you

Pinocchio's now a boy

Who wants to turn back into a toy

So call me

Call me in the morning

Call me in the night

So call me

Call me anytime you like

My phone's on vibrate for you

For you

[Mike]

Weezer - Beverly Hills

Where I come from isn't all that great

My automobile is a piece of crap

My fashion sense is a little whack

And my friends are just as screwy as me

I didn't go to boarding schools

Preppie girls never looked at me

Why should they?

I ain't nobody

Got nothing in my pocket

Beverly Hills

That's where I want to be

Livin' in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills

Rolling like a celebrity

Livin' in Beverly Hills

Look at all those movie stars

They're all so beautiful and clean

When the housemaids scrub the floors

They get the spaces in between

I wanna live a life like that

I wanna be just like a king

Take my picture by the pool

'cause I'm the next big thing

Beverly Hills

That's where I want to be

Livin' in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills

Rolling like a celebrity

Livin' in Beverly Hills

The truth is I don't stand a chance

It's something that you're born into

And I just don't belong

No I don't

I'm just a no-class beat down fool

And I will always be that way

I might as well enjoy my life

And watch the stars play

Beverly Hills

That's where I want to be

Livin' in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills

Rolling like a celebrity

Livin' in Beverly Hills

The Script - We Cry

I bought the single and all of a sudden noticed just how good the lyrics are.

Together we cry…

Together we cry…

Jenny was a poor girl

Living in a rich world

Named her baby Hope when she was just fourteen

She was hoping for a better world

For this little girl

But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree

Well she gets that call

Hope's too far gone

Her baby's on the way

But nothing left inside

Together we cry!

What about the junk head

Could have gone the whole way

Lighting up the stage trying to get a deal

Now he's lighting up the wrong way

"Something for the pain!"

Man you wanna see this kid he was so f@#kin' unreal

When he gets that call

He's too far gone

To get it together to sing one song

They won't hear tonight

The words of a lullaby

Together we cry…

Oh…Mary's ambitious

She wanna to be a politician

She been dreaming about it since she was a girl

She thought that she'd be the one to change the world

Always trying to pave the way for women in a…man's world

But life happened, house, kids, 2 cars, husband hits the jar, cheques that don't go very far now

Now she in it can't change it, she keeps her mind on her wages

The only rattling cages!

Together we cry...

There comes a time when every bird has to fly

At some point every rose has to die

It's hard to let your children go

Leave home

Where they go?

Who knows!

Getting drunk

Getting stoned

All alone

Teach a man to fish

You'll feed him never lie

You show your kids the truth

Hope they never lie

Instead of reading in a letter that they've gone to something better

"Bet your sorry now! I won't be coming home tonight"

I'm sick of looking for those heroes in the sky

To teach us how to fly

Together we cry!

Together we cry...

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence.

Words like violence

Break the silence

Come crashing in

Into my little world

Painful to me

Pierce right through me

Cant you understand

Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm

Vows are spoken

To be broken

Feelings are intense

Words are trivial

Pleasures remain

So does the pain

Words are meaningless

And forgettable

All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence

[E*F*4L]

i think these are the best;

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97. Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you one tip for the future, sunscreen

would be it. The

long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by

scientists whereas the

rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my

own meandering

experience... I will dispense this advice now

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh,

nevermind, you will not

understand the power and beauty of your youth until

they've faded. But trust

me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself

and recall in a way

you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before

you and how fabulous

you really looked. You are NOT as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that

worrying is as

effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by

chewing bubblegum. The

real toubles in life are apt to be things that never

crossed your worried

mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle

Tuesday

Do one thing everyday that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't

put up with people who

are reckless with your's.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're

ahead, sometimes you're

behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with

yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the

insults. If you suceed in doing

this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank

statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do

with your life.

The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22

what they wanted to do

with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year

olds I know still

don't.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're

gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll

have children, maybe you

won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40. Maybe you'll dance

the funky chicken on

your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do,

don't congratulate

yourself too much or berate yourself either - your

choices are half chance,

so are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can... don't be

afraid of it, or what

other people think of it... it's the greatest instrument

you'll ever own.

Dance... even if you have nowhere to do it but in

your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines they will only make

you feel UGLY.

CHORUS

Brother and sister together we'll make it through.

Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there.

I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you.

And I'll be there just helping you out whenever I can.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they

might be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings; they're your best link to your

past and the

people most likely to stick with you in the future

Understand that friends come and go, but for the

precious few you should

hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography

and lifestyle because the

older you get, the more you need the people you knew

when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes

you hard. Live in

Northern California once, but leave before it makes

you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths. Prices will rise,

Politicians will

philander, you too will get old. And when you do, you'll

fantasize that when

you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians

were noble, and children

respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe

you have a trust fund,

maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never

know when either one might

run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're

40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with

those who supply it.

Advice is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of

fishing the past

from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly

parts, and

recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

CHORUS

Everybody's free. Everybody's free.

Or....

Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal?

It’s a natural plant that grows in the dirt.

Do you know what’s not natural?

80 year old dudes with hard-ons. That’s not natural.

But we got pills for that.

We’re dedicating all our medical resources to keeping the old guys erect,

but we’re putting people in jail for smoking something that grows in the dirt.

You know we have more prescription drugs now.

Every commercial that comes on TV is a prescription drug ad.

I can’t watch TV for four minutes without thinking I have five serious diseases.

Like: “Do you ever wake up tired in the mornings?”

Oh my god I have this, write this down. Whatever it is, I have this.

Half the time I don’t even know what the commercial is…

people running in fields or flying kites or swimming in the ocean.

I’m like that is the greatest disease ever. How do you get that?

That disease comes with a hot chick and a puppy.

The schools now… It is all about self-esteem in the schools .

Build the kids’ self-esteem, make them feel good about themselves.

If everybody grows up with high self-esteem, who's gonna to dance in our strip clubs?

What’s going to happen to our porno industry?

These women don’t just grown on trees.

It takes lots of drunk daddys missing a lot of dance recitals before you decide to blow a goat on the internet for fifty bucks.

And if that disappears, where does that leave me on a Friday with my new high speed connection?

(baby sing sing sing, sing your song, sing for me, come on now sing, sing sing sing, sing your song, sing for me (sing sing sing song))

Masterminds another word that comes up all the time.

You keep hearing about thesea thesa terrorists masterminds that get killed in the middle east.

Terrorists masterminds.

Mastermind is sort of a lofty way to describe what these guys do, don’t you think?

They’re not masterminds.

“OK, you take bomb, right? And you put in backpack. then you get on bus and you blow yourself up.”

“Why do I have to blow myself up? Why can’t I just…”

“Who’s the fucking mastermind here? Me or you?”

Americans, let’s face it: We’ve been a spoiled country for a long time.

Do you know what the number one health risk in America is?

Obesity. Obesity! They say we’re in the middle of an obesity epidemic.

An epidemic like it is polio. Like we’ll be telling our grand kids about it one day.

The Great Obesity Epidemic of 2004.

“How’d you get through it grandpa?”

“Oh, it was horrible Johnny, there was cheesecake and pork chops everywhere.”

Nobody knows why were getting fatter. Look at our lifestyles.

I’ll sit at a drive thru.

I’ll sit there, ill sit there behind fifteen other cars instead of getting up to make the eight foot walk to the totally empty counter.

Everything is mega meals super sized want biggie fries with that want jumbo frie wanta go large want a biggie fry You wantto have thirty burgers for a nickel you fat mother fucker. There’s room in the bag. Take it!

Want a 55 gallon drum of Coke with that? It’s only three more cents.

baby sing sing sing sing your song sing for me (come on now sing) baby sing sing sing sing your song sing for me (sing sing sing song)

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life.

Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there’d be a Microsoft?

Of course not.

You got to spend a lotta time stuffed in your own locker with your underwear wedged up your ass before you start thinking

“ I’m going to take over the world of computers! youll see I’ll show them.”

We’re in one of the richest countries in the world,

and yet the minimum wage is lower than it was thirty five years ago.

There are homeless people everywhere.

This homeless guy asked me for money the other day.

I was about to give it to him and then I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol.

And then I thought, that’s what I’m gonna to use it on.

Why am I judging this poor bastard.

People love to judge homeless guys. Like if you give them money they’re just going to waste it hes gonna waste the money.

Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do? Save it up and buy a wall unit?

Take a little run to the store for a throw rug and a CD rack? He’s homeless.

I walked behind this guy the other day.

A homeless guy asking for money.

He looks right at the homeless guy and says why don’t you go get a job you bum.

People always say that to homeless guys like it's always that easy.

This homeless guy was wearing his underwear outside his pants.

I’m guessing his resume isn’t all up to date.

I’m predicting some problems during the interview process.

I’m pretty sure even McDonalds has a “underwear goes inside the pants” policy.

Not that they enforce it very strictly, but technically I’m sure it is on the books.

sing, sing, sing, sing your song, sing for me, (come on now sing) baby sing, sing, sing, sing your song, sing for me ( sing, sing, sing song)

i think these are the best;

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97. Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you one tip for the future, sunscreen

would be it.

Baz's Sunscreen already features on this thread. Gah! Pay attention.

[DC]

personally i don't think you can beat scoff cruddles 'everyone's free to own a bitch'

[spoken]

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Of the class of 67,

Buy your own Bitch.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future,

Bitches would be it.

The long term benefits of bitches have been proved by scientists,

Where as, the rest of my advise has no basis more reliable,

Than my own meandering experience.

I will dispence this advice now.

[Frog croaks and the music starts]

Enjoy the power and beauty of frogging,

Oh, never mind,

You will not understand the power and beauty of frogging,

Because you're only a young un', of 53.

Come By!

Don't worry about spooking taddies,

Or worry, but know that worrying,

Is about as effective as gurgling the raft in a beetle chasers spang wanger.

Away!

Don't be reckless with other people's spawn whistles,

And don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Slapdash!

Don't waste your time on the outrun,

Or come to that, the veg.

Sometimes you're ahead,

Sometimes you're behind,

Keep your old jaspers down,

Throw away unwanted wellies.

[Gospel singing]

Everybody's freeeee, everybody's freee,

Everybody's free.

[scoff Cruddle]

Maybe you'll marry,

Maybe you won't

Maybe you'll have children,

Maybe you won't,

Maybe she'll have your dinner on the table at 5 O'Clock,

And maybe she won't.

Maybe she'll leave you,

And you'll have to get a cleaner.

And maybe she won't.

Never take too wide an outrun on the jirrup hurdle,

Always wear your daps in the coldy hole.

Accept certain truths,

Prizes will rise,

Brilton Smner will always be a contender for the anus-ol,

And Bodge Schnart will shaft you given half a chance.

Advice is a form of nostalgia,

Whilst still a young ponder of 64,

Diddy Diddly Tixy Nealy Bint said,

"A fools rush on the shedding ring,

Is kamikaze frogging".

Everybody's free to disregard the Scoffster,

But trust me on the bitches.
