"Flash - I love you
But we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!"

[bobh]

Keeping it in the family.
John Lennon - Imagine


Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Julian Lennon - Salt Water

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes

We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious we can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how the forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (and now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by... right before our eyes

We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by how clever we are
Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (and now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by... right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
What will I think of me the day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes

For me its Pink Floyd ~ Breathe.

And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

One day I'll die. The choice will not be mine. Will it be too late. You can't fight fate.

[Feedback]

Soak me to my skin
Will you drown me in your sweet submission
Ends and I begin
Choke me, smoke the air
In this citrus-sucking sunshine, I don't care
You're not all there

Every backbone and heart you break
We'll still come back for more
Submission ends it all

Here he come, got no question, got no love
I'm throwing stones at you, man
I want you black and blue and
I'm gonna make you bleed
Gonna bring you down to your knees
Bye bye badman, ooh bye bye

Choke me, smoke the air
In this citrus-sucking sunshine I don't
Care you're not all there

You've been bought and paid, you're a whore, a slave
Your dock's not a holy shrine
Come taste the end, you're mine

Here he come, got no question got no love
I'm throwing stones at you, man
I want you black and blue and
I'm gonna make you bleed
Gonna bring you down to your knees
Bye bye badman ooh bye bye

I've got bad intentions, I intend to knock you down
These stones I throw, Oh these French kisses
Are the only way I've found...

I've got bad intentions, I intend to knock you down
These stones I throw, Oh these French kisses
Are the only way I've found...

It's about the Paris student riots

And then there is the only band that matters

[Packerman]

And then there is the only band that matters

now going for a lie down

"I don`t pretend to know what you want
but i offer love" - what a line

Tell me all the things you would change
I don't pretend to know what you want
When you come around and spin my top
Time and again, time and again

No fire where I lit my spark
I am not afraid of the dark
Where your words devour my heart
And put me to shame, put me to shame

When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I'm by your side
And dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone

Still so young to travel so far
Old enough to know who you are
Wise enough to carry the scars
Without any blame, there's no one to blame

It's easy to forget what you learned
Waiting for the thrill to return
Feeling your desire burn
And drawn to the flame

When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I'm by your side
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone

And I'm lying on the table
Washed out in a flood
Like a Christian feeling vengeance from above
I don't pretend to know what you want
But I offer love

Seven worlds will collide
Whenever I'm by your side
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone

As time slips by

As time slips by
Crowded House - Distant Sun.

Volunteers, Jefferson Airplane:


Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution (got to revolution)
Hey, I'm dancing down the streets
Got a revolution (got to revolution)
Oh, ain't it amazing all the people I meet?
Got a revolution (got to revolution)
One generation got old
One generation got soul
This generation got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry
Hey, now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution (got to revolution)
Hey, come on now we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution (got to revolution)
Who will take it from you, we will and who are we?
Well, we are volunteers of America (volunteers of America)
Volunteers of America (volunteers of America)
I've got a revolution
Got a revolution

Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution (got to revolution)
Hey, I'm dancing down the streets

RRRRRAAAAAAAARRRRRR FŪCKING HOSTILE!!!!!

Fūcking Hostile ~ Pantera

[splott parker]

Life is very short and there's no time for fussing & fighting my friend
We can work it out..Beatles

[Blue in the Face]

"Skip a life completely.
Stuff it in a cup.
She said, Money is like us in time,
It lies, but can't stand up.
Down for you is up.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes."

The Velvet Underground

Also love the stupid Mike D one liner in the B-Boys "The Move"

"Dogs love me cause I'm crazy sniffable"

[bobh]

Never did work out what this is about-

We skipped the light fandango
And turned cartwheels cross the floor.
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more.
The room was humming harder
And the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

She said "There is no reason,
And the truth is plain to see,"
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be,
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast,
And although my eyes were open
They might just just have well been closed.
And so it was that later,
As the miller told his tale,
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

She said she wanted shore leave
Tho in truth we were at sea
So I took her by a looking glass
And forced her to agree,
Saying you must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride
Well she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died
And so it was, etc...

[xsnaggle]

"She'll grab your sweaty bollocks,
And slowly raise her knee,
Don't marry her, Fukk me"

Beautiful south.
:Don't marry her" the proper version

And so so true.

[Taunton Blue Genie]

That band mutated into a kidnapping group, I believe.

[Kris]

Mister marks can you find for me
Someone strong and sweet fitting on my knee
She can keep her job if she gets it wrong
Ah, but mister marks I won't need her long
All I need is help for a little while
We can take dictation and learn to smile
And a temporary secretary is what I need for to do the job

This verse and chorus from Trumpton Riots by Half man Half biscuit is fekin genius.

Windy Militant rages past
With Corn grinders to war
With windmill sails and bombs with nails
They smash the town hall door.
But Snorty and the boys arrive
With one big erstwhile crew
Whereupon they bring about
A military coup.

Chorus:
Someone get a message through
To Captain Snort
That they better start assembling
The boys from the fort.
Keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,
'Cause there's gonna be riot
Down in Trumpton Tonight

Oh I was walking round my local store
Searching for the ten pence off Lenor
When suddenly I bumped into this guy
On seeing who it was I gave a cry
“****in’ ‘Ell, It’s Fred Titmus!”

[binman]

Oh I was walking round my local store
Searching for the ten pence off Lenor
When suddenly I bumped into this guy
On seeing who it was I gave a cry
“****in’ ‘Ell, It’s Fred Titmus!”

Down at Stoke Mandeville I bumped into Mr IQ
I said “Hey albino, this is not 1972
Stub out your King Edward and get that small boy off your knee
And melt down your fingerware and get yourself off my TV”
Jim could you fix it for me
To come down and suck out your kidneys?
I’ve got this young brother, you see
Who wants to stay alive to watch Bilko
When I’m pining for a cigarette
I think of all the free ones that I’d get
If I killed myself and came back as a beagle
I left my heart in Papworth General

Ahead of their time were Half Man Half Biscuit!

and please no more bollocky Pink Floyd Oh let me find my inner self pretentious sh1t - Its like listening to some hipster going on about himself at Chapter Arts

[Penarth Blues]

For me its Pink Floyd ~ Breathe.

And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

There are some brilliant lyrics about but Pink Floyd have written some of the ones which resonate most with me.

Bloody brilliant band.

[NYCBlue]

Who cares? It's all about music and melody.

[valleys caveman]

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

[jamieccfc]

"Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel tower "

"No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know"

[jamieccfc]

"But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?"

[jamieccfc]

Gone Away
The Offspring
Lyrics
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
