As mmy iPOD skips from Mahler to Morrissey and Brubeck to Bad Company, it occasionally throws memories at me that make me smile.

Today I was reminded of a time when the young Drac was being Edjamacated about the finer points of 70s twin-guitar rock. Lesson one (of course) involved Thin Lizzy.

When we got to 'Jailbreak' off the album with the same name, Drac started pissing himself laughing.

Phil Lynott wrote:
"Tonight there's gonna be a Jailbreak
Somewhere in this Town"


Dracoid wrote:
Erm. . . try the Jail?
Smiley: lol

So please share other assinine, lazy or meaningless (unless deliberate a la 'I am teh Walrus') Lyrics?

No you ****.

I mean lyrics that are clearly evidence of laziness in finding words that rhyme and/or scan, and appear to make sense until you think about what they mean.

FUcking idiots!

Unskinny Bop for fUck's sake Smiley: oyvey

This line has irritated me forever, since it's the opposite. Yes, I'm *that* ****-retentive.

I'm baffled by that nonsensical Shit on Ameh'cun cars every time I drive over there.

Apart from sounding, well, just 'wrong', who in the name of Kelly LeBrock needs such a warning?

I don't think it's so very hard to impress Shania Twain. After all, she married this dude.

What is? WHAT is the method of modern love?

And, since you couldn't come up with anything more interesting to say about it than just spelling it out, at least spell out the whole damned thing.

And since we're into cult English bands...

Queen, "I want to break free"

"I've fallen in love,
I've fallen in love for the first time,
And this time I know it's for real..."


It's either not the "first time", or not "this time". Make your mind up, Freddy.

Moi > la musique anglaise

I dunno, I think it's implied that he's had crushes before and confused it with love, but that's just me.


On a side note, I never did get the point of Queen's "Bicycle"

I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle

BICYCLE, BICYCLE, BICYCLE

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

Say you dont know me or recognize my face
Say you dont care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, dont you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares theyre always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible write us off the page

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, dont you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

Its just another sunday, in a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh then we just lost the beat

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in two rock guitars
Dont tell us you need us, cos were the ship of fools
Looking for america, coming through your schools

(Im looking out over that golden gate bridge
Out on another gorgeous sunny saturday, not seein that bumper to bumper traffic)

Dont you remember (member)(member)

(whats your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, dont you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

(we built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)

(repeats out)

Quite possibly the stupidest fucking song ever made.

Well if that's the case, then maybe he should express it a bit better. I know he's in love and all, but at the end of the day, isn't what he's paid for?

He wants to ride his bike. And his bicycle, too.

The verse however, are slightly more kryptic.
