Cal Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 Does this bring back memories? I found it annoying at the time, but it has a certain nostalgic value now: "Perfect Gentleman" (This one's goin' out to the strip joints Yo, meet me at Suzy's Rendez-vous For every Go-Go Bar I'ma send this one out to the gentlemen's clubs Magic City, New York dogs, Rolex I be seeing y'all up in there late at night I understand when your girl is stressing you out (Crazy girls) Know what I'm saying? Don't let the ladies fool y'all now, fellas They be doin' the same thing y'all be doin' Turn up my symphony, man. Turn up my symphony! Drop a BEAT!) [Chorus] Just 'cuz she dances go-go It don't make her a ho, no Maxine, put your red shoes on We going to the disco We gonna eeeelope to Meeeexico Called up my mama, said I'm in love with a stripper, yo [Verse 1] Ten grand, let me see you shake it like you got no bones in your body and you was made to be a celebrity Twenty grand, know it's a sin, but before me you show me a little more skin it would fulfill my fantasy Thirty grand, to the highest bidder but Chris Rock said, 'There's no sex in the champaigne room' Forty grand, looked into her eyes, I saw tears falling down, type of tears that money couldn't buy [Chorus 2X] [Verse 2] [Wyclef] Excuse me, what is your name? [Hope] Uh, my name is Hope, yo I was blessed with the body of the Goddesses Have you any idea how hard this is? I could flex in 25 positions But I only work here to pay my tuition Yo, tantalizing teaser Table-top pleaser Give me what I need a Mastercard a Visa Lap dance fantasy Picture us on and on white canopy Wyclef extended his hand to me Like Billy D. said he's feelin me Take me away from here, so far Where they ride horses, no cars No more stripping in bars Me and you 'Clef, against the odds [Chorus 2X] (Yo a lot of y'all sitting with y'all girls fronting like the budweiser commercial Talking bout, 'IIIIIII, I don't be going to the strip joints' You lying man! You'd be surprised who you see up in there man. I got one question for you liars, man) Shot callers, Wasn't you a preacher? You calling her a hooker? He without sin cast the first stone. I met her on the subway, she gave me that VIP card And told me if I ever have problems, Don't hesitate to come by, yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus 2X] Call up my mama said I'm in love with a stripper yo! (Yo baby, can I get another lap dance? I tell you I got nothing but funny money, man. New York Dogs.) Oh dear!! Wyclef John!
Liz Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 I have the opposite view, Si. I quite liked it once, but find it cringeworthy now.
aejdude Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 Babylon Zoo - Spaceman Pungent smells They consumate my home Beyond the black horizon Trying to take control See my girl She shivers in her bones The sun and zenith rising Trying to take us all Theres a fire between us So where is your god?

Cal Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris Verse 1 And I'd give up forever to touch you Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now Verse 2 And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cause sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight Chorus And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am Verse 3 And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything seems like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know your alive Chorus And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am Chorus I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
katya Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 I love The Smiths too! Ask - The Smiths Shyness is nice, and Shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life you'd like to Shyness is nice, and Shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life you'd like to So if there's something you'd like to try, If there's something you'd like to try Ask me I won't say no, how could I? Coyness is nice, and Coyness can stop you From saying all the things in life you'd like to So if there's something you'd like to try, If there's something you'd like to try Ask me I won't say no, how could I? Spending long summer days indoors, Writing frightening verse, to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg, Ask me, ask me, ask me Ask me, ask me, ask me Because, if it's not love, then it's the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb That will bring us together.... Nature is a language, can't you read? Nature is a language, can't you read? So ask me, ask me, ask me Ask me, ask me, ask me Because if it's not love, then it's the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb That will bring us together If it's not love, then it's the bomb, then it's the bomb that will bring us together So ask me, ask me, ask me, Ask me, ask me, ask me
katya Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 I think the best Smiths lyrics are as follows: Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, But heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job and then I found a job, And heaven knows I'm miserable now. In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die? Two lovers entwined passed me by And heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job and then I found a job, And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Oh why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die? What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed "Oh you've been in the house too long" she said, And I naturally fled In my life, Why do I smile at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye? I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now "Oh you've been in the house too long" she said, And I naturally fled In my life, Oh why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die?

You don't know for sure You don't feel right, you can't find a cure And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for You don't have money or a fancy car And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar Chorus: God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah) God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you Put it in the soul of everyone "Now listen" If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five You can take a stand, or you can compromise You can work real hard or just fantasize But you don't start livin' till you realize - "I gotta tell ya!" God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you Gave rock and roll to everyone God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you Put it in the soul (Instrumental break) God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung) Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung) Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone Saved rock and roll chorus repeats out...

sevenpuddings Posted April 14, 2006 Report Posted April 14, 2006 Cold Chisel - Khe Sahn I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sahn And I sold my soul with my cigarettes, to a black market man I've had to Vietnam cold turkey, from the ocean to the silver city And it's only other vets could understand 'Bout the long forgotten dockside guarantees How there were no V-day heroes in nineteen seventy-three How we sailed into Sydney Harbour, I saw an old friend but I couldn't kiss her And she was lined, and I was home to the lucky land She was like so many more from that time on Their lives were all so empty, until they'd found there chosen one And their legs were often open but their minds were always closed And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains And the legal pads were yellow, hours long paypackets lean And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been The carparks made me jumpy and I never stopped the dreams Or the growing need for speed and novacaine So I worked across the country from end to end I tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend I held a job on an oil-rig, a-flyin' choppers when I could But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend And I've travelled round the world from year to year-ear-ear And each one found me aimless, one more year the worse for wear And I've been back to South East Asia, you know the answer sure ain't there But I'm driftin' north to check things out agai-ai-ain Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost go-one And only seven flyin' hours, till I'll be landin' in Hong Kong And there ain't nothin' like the kisses from a jaded Chinese princess I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night lo-ong Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone Hunters and Collectors - Holy Grail Woke up this morning from the strangest dream I was in the biggest army the world has ever seen We were marching as one On the road to the holy grail Started out seeking fortune and glory Its a short song but a hell of a story When you spend lifetime trying to get your hands On the holy grail Well have you heard about the great crusade We ran into millions, but nobody got paid Yeah we raised four corners of the globe For the holy grail All the locals scattered, they were hiding in the snow We were so far home, so how were we to know There be nothing left to pluder When we stumble on the holy grail We were full of beans But we were dying like flies And those big black birds, they were circling in the sky And you know what they say, yeah, nobody deserves to die You know I, i been searching for an easy way To escape the cold light of day I been high and I been low But I nowhere else to go Theres nowhere else to go And i followed orders God knows where i been But i woke up alone All my wounds were clean Im still here Im still a fool for the holy grail oh yeah im a fool for the holy grail
