nah... I am starting my own for Anthony Kiedis LOL

A long, long, long, long time ago
Before the wind, before the snow
Lived a man, lived a man I know
Lived a freak of nature named Sir Psycho

Sir Psycho Sexy that is me
Sometimes I find I need to scream

He's a freak of nature
But we love him so
He's a freak of nature
But we let him go

Deep inside the garden of Eden
Standing there with my hard on bleedin'
There's a devil in my dick and some demons in my semen
Good God no that would be treason
Believe me Eve she gave good reason
Botty looking too good not to be squeezin'
Creamy beaver hotter than a fever
I'm a givin' 'cause she's the receiver
I won't and I don't hang up until I please her
Makin' her feel like an over achiever
I take it away for a minute just to tease her
Then I give it back a little bit deeper

Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea he's the man that I met 1 time
Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea he's the man that left me blind
Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea he's the man he's the man he's the man
Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea

He's a freak of nature
But we love him so
He's a freak of nature
But we let him go

I got stopped by a lady cop
In my automobile
She said get out and spead your legs
And then she tried to cop a feel
That cop she was all dressed in blue
Was she pretty? Boy I'm tellin' you
She stuck my butt with her big black stick
I said "what's up?" now suck my dick
Like a ram getting ready to jam the lamb
She whimpered just a little when she felt my hand
On her crotch so very warm
I could feel her getting wet through her uniform
Proppin' her up on the black and white
Unzipped and slipped "ooh that's tight"
I swatted her like no swat team can
Turned a cherry pie right into jam

Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea, I'm the man that you met 1 time
Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea, I'm the man that will leave you blind
Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea, I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea

Hello young woman that I love
Pretty punk rock mama that I'm thinking of
Hold me naked if you will
In your arms in your legs in your pussy I'd kill
To be with you, to kiss with you, I do miss you
I love you

Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
Descending waves of graceful pleasure
For your love there is no measure
Her curves they bend with subtle splendor

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the funk will make me freak
If I should die before I waked
Allow me Lord to rock out naked
Bored by the ordinary time to take a trip
Calling up a little girl with a bull whip
Lickety split go snap "snap"
Girl gettin' off all in my lap
The tallest tree the sweetest sap
Blowin' my ass right off the map
Ooh and it's nice out here
I think I'll stay for a while

By the way, for our resident Dylan-Nobel defenders, what is a good example of great lyrics or poetry by him? Really I can't stand his voice or music so I can't say I know that many songs and I guess there's some obscure song or poem that really shows his art.

I have no problem with a songwriter being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The commitee has awarded poetry, and, after all, poetry was made to be accompanied to music a long time before became practice to put it in writing (I also don't see the reason why they exclude screenwriters, seeing as they award playwrights).

As for Dylan getting it, I can take it or leave it, there were other great names who would be worthy, but when have the Nobel Awards ever left everyone happy?

Personally I have more issues with all the awards he got for music than this one for his words. LOL

… And looks like Bob DYLAN himself would have no interest in Novel Prize 4 Literature because simply he would have written lyrics he wanted to claim … only people inspired by him (whether in a good sense or not) get excited. What an irony. Shocked

Guess Bob would be happy to be appreciated upon the Grammy Award or musical authorities.

No excitement needed as for it, imho …

Anyway as Teo or others said, I cannot understand but Nobel Prize for scientific fields honest to say … not because Haruki MURAKAMI has not got the Prize yet. Tongue

yeah man... if Dylan got peoples panties in a twist... just wait till the Noble community gets with the times and gives the Literature award to Internet posting brilliance...

I hope to live long enough to get MY Noble Award and be fully recognized...

Micky..  the Bob Dylan of internet Literary brilliance...

umm hmmm.. I like the sounds of that.. though..  I suspect Ivan himself will get a few votes... he is something isn't he. HeartLOL

So many real writers around the world who could really use the extra recognition a Nobel brings...

But they give the award to the song peddler...

I wouldn't have voted that way myself.. but to be fair and balanced...  Dylan was no Burt Bacharach and mere peddler of songs.  If they were to take it where they did... Dylan made perfect sense.  NO songwriter has had the lasting importance.

A poet of our age...  just set to music...

I wouldn't have gone there myself if I had a say in it... but it still makes perfect sense.. as I half assed joked.. it is was 40 years overdue perhaps.. but consider it more a lifetime achievement award for perhaps having the importance and influence through his words of any writer in the last half century.

I have never been a big fan of Dylan's. I will, though, be eternally grateful for the influence he indubitably had over one of the finest songwriters of all time, one Paul Simon, who, in tandem with that man with such a beautiful voice, Art, created music that will live not just with me for ever, but will be a part of musical history for many centuries.

That, rather than some silly prize, is what I will appreciate him for.
