Topic: SILLY Lyrics Game! Posted: May 25 2005 at 01:06 |
^ That was vintage vinyl Monty Python -- you lose again!
OK, try this, if you're brave enough:
= "The ones that go in, are lean and thin -- the ones that come out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in, and your teeth fall out -- your brains go tumbling down your snout...."
Later, o sheepish ones!

That's from Gabriel's 1st album, isn't it? (USED to have it on vinyl. Wasn't that Excuse Me?
How about:
"There's evidence of settlements, and one-lane village streets.
Houses shops and little towns -- the framework was complete
By the ti-ime (of the Norman Conquest!)...."

Kangaroo were hopping mad at this sort of talk. She thought herself far superior in intelligence to the others. She was their leader, their guru. She had the answer
Jethro Tull-Passion Play
Try this:
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, A beer. (in my tree) On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Two turtle-necks And a beer in a tree.

That's old Sparks -- This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us. (Next comes the chorus, I believe: "This town ain't big enough for both of us -- and it ain't me who's gonna leave!")
Great stuff, Bunion, and tres silly! Ron Mael wrote some clever, twisted lyrics!
(Thanks guys, for resurrecting this neglected old attempt at whimsy....)
Try this on: He didn't do the Mona Lisa -- that was an Italian geezer....

No but it is crap!
Obviously you couldnt know that i think Mike Oldfield is a sandwich short of a picnic!
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true. You'll see it's all a show. Keep 'em laughing as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you. And... Monty Python (Eric Idle)
Next something apt I think:
Say, we can act if want to If we don't nobody will

Loudon Wainwright III
SO Damn Happy (Little Ship)
It's crucial that it doesn't matter Vows of love are idle chatter To feel this good has to be bad I'm so damn happy that it's sad Dear listener would you like to slap me And the sad thing is I'm so damn happy Yes the sad thing is I'm so damn happy.

That's got to be - "in case of sonic attack in your district, follow these rules" Hawkwind, Sonic Attack.
Hows about this little gem, then.....

He dreams he is a human,

"Go West, get laid, and never join the fire brigade", Brian Prothrow.
You like to make them obscure Peter!
Here's an easier one (from these archives),
