The lyrics quoted in this thread are as subtle as a fart under the duvet.

Typical american over emotional over obvious emotional tripe.

Pisha! Freddie Blassie was a genius!

Some of his subtle lyrics. Reminders of you, CN. ::

They say, "these geeks come a dime a dozen."
I'm lookin' for the guy who's supplin' the dimes.
It's gonna be real hard times for all of these
Grit eatin',
Scum suckin',
Boot lickin',
Drop kickin',
Gut grindin',
Nail bitin',
Glue sniffin',
Scab pickin',
Butt scratchin',
Egg hatchin',
Sleezy,
Smelly,
Pepper bellied,
Dirty, lousy, rotten, stinkin', freaks.
Nothing but a pencil neck geek.

Pencil neck geek.
Pencil neck geek.
Pencil neck geek.

You're welcome, CN.

I know you prefer all things British, so here's one my favorite subtle love songs from across the pond.

I have a feeling you'll recognize it.

Sit on my face and tell me that you love me
I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you too
I love to hear you oralize when I'm between your thighs
You blow me away
Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you
I'll sit on your face and then I'll love you truly
Life can be fine if we both sixty nine
If we sit on our faces in all sorts of places
And play till we're blown away

Chokes me up every time...

[Maggot]

That's so pretty.

I always believed Ferry Cross the Mersey was a double-entendre.

I like that song, both versions that I've heard. Your interpretation is so obvious though!

Subtlety, depth, mystery. That's what CN's looking for.

A classic American love song that reeks of subtlety by one of my favorites.

I bet CN can figure out the underlying meaning, if he flashes back to his single party days.

Really do appreciate the fact you're sittin' here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But your face don't look too clear
So barmaid, bring a pitcher another round o' brew
Honey, why don't we get drunk an' screw?
Why don't we get drunk an' screw?

I just bought a waterbed, it's filled up for me an' you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk an' screw?

Ninja is right, only the English can excel at deep, meaningful lyrics. Why, one of my all time favourites which I play at special occasions, ranging from weddings to funerals is by none other than Norman Cook, otherwise also known as Fatboy Slim, and his legendary musical piece of art, Star 69.

"What the fuck?
They know what is what,
But they don't know what is what,
They just strut.

What the fuck?

They just know,
What they know,
What they don't know,
What is what.
They just strut.

What the fuck?"

[Cynical Ninja]

I'm surprised you classify fatboy slim as music I sure as hell don't.

Name any none British lyricist and i will immediately trump them with a superior British lyricist.

Since I'm sorta direct by nature, "subtlety" isn't a requirement in determining quality for me, though I certainly appreciate it in many contexts. You're a subtle man, CN; I can see how subtlety makes your world go 'round.

I really like the not-so-subtle lyrics that I posted yesterday, they make me smile or laugh. But, it seems that maybe you're a sensitive or tortured soul who only finds value in lyrics that allow you to ponder the intended meaning, assign them unique messages all your own, or that simply touch you softly in an emotional way?

Me, I like music and lyrics, all different types and genres. Not a music snob; don't care if the piece comes from the UK, the US, South Africa, Australia, Iceland, Canada or anywhere else. (I could post some Bjork or Alanis Morrisette if you call me out on those last two.)

We've posted lots of lyrics in this thread, so be a man of your word and post up those British lyrics that send you, all-talk-no-action-man!! DO IT, DO IT, DO IT TIL YOU'RE SATISFIED!

Imagine by John Lennon.

I'm not quoting the lyrics because EVERYONE already knows them.

End. Of. Thread.

[HairOfTheDog]

I love "Imagine". Posted it in the "Living in the Past" video thread, in fact.

I wouldn't call it subtle; it's actually somewhat commanding.

Mr. Lennon was telling us the exact scenarios he wished us to contemplate, and implying that those scenarios would be preferable to the reality of the time. Thought provoking, maybe. Beautiful, oh yeah, to me at least - because I happen to agree with the message.

I love this one too:



Thread keeps on rollin'...

[Maggot]

One of my favorites:
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunsets fine

Terry meets julie, waterloo station
Every friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunsets fine

Millions of people swarming like flies round waterloo underground
But terry and julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And the don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunsets fine

[HairOfTheDog]

You'll know heartache
Still more crying
When you're thinking of your mother's only son
Take to your bed
You say there's peace in sleep
But you'll dream of love instead

Oh the heartache you'll find
Can bring more pain than a blistering sun
But oh when you fall
Oh when you fall
Fall at my door...

From: Down to Zero, by Joan Armatrading (BRITISH)

I'd Love to Change the World

Heard that song on the radio today for the first time in forever; it's a really good one.

Here's one that's been playing in my mind recently.

She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you,
But she's always a woman to me

By Billy Joel, from The Stranger album

The muse was a very smart, deep, and direct woman; mind as strong as heart. The best kind, imo.

[Clang McFly]

She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild.
She's all out to get you

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try...

Great tune, Clang.

Long live Freddie!

[HairOfTheDog]

Great tune, Clang.

Long live Freddie!

Listened to Killer Queen last night after Clang posted; it really is a great tune.

Queen was my first stadium concert; what a show they put on.

P.s. Favorite Queen tune: Somebody to Love

I've never seen them live.

Wish I would've.

“Hurt”

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I love
Goes away in the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Beneath the stairs of time
Feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Johnny Cash did a version of this song when he was close to death you can see the video on youtube its had about a billion hits or something. If you watch it and don't have a lump in your throat by the time its finished you aren't human.
