to get disproportionately angry when songs do not make sense

In the car today, radio on, and they start playing All Around The World by Lisa Stansfield. Instantly I felt the rage creeping up.

'Been around the world and I, I
I can't find my baby,
I don't know why, why he's gone away '

YES YOU FUCKING DO, LISA! Allow me to refer you to your own words, not 30 seconds ago, when you said (and I quote):

'We had a quarrel, and I let myself go
I said so many things, things he didn't know
And I was oh, oh so bad'

And then, and then, LISA, you go on to say

'I did too much lying, wasted too much time'

So you do know, you know exactly why he's gone away, so you should just STFU and concentrate on finding him to apologise. Not singing that bullshit trying to make us feel sorry for you, when clearly it is all YOUR FAULT.

I feel better for that. Anyone else?

Ah. This thread is my spiritual home.

I would just like to add that I am no-one's bloody wonderwall, and I don't give a toss about empty fucking fridges in New York.

"and in this ever-changing world in which we're living" according to DH
I have been avoiding jobs all evening, but now I've passed that on I feel I've done something useful, and can carry on being lazy Smile

Pippaandpolly · 14/12/2011 22:04

Read out the OP to DH and was crying with laughter by the end, couldn't get the words out so he had to grab the phone to finish reading. Now we both have tears in our eyes. Priceless Grin

Love her you might Poppycat but she is responsible for one of the most irritating set of lyrics ever.

I swear the next song after Lisa was Mike and the Mechanics (yes, yes I DO need to change radio stations)

'All I need is a miracle,
All I neeeeeeeeed is you'

WHICH IS IT, MIKE?!

Ohhhhh this is funny. "Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife" is NOT ironic. Perhaps you just need to do the washing up love...

GreenIceAndChristmasHam · 14/12/2011 22:02

Just realised my post didnt make any sense either Grin

Just pretty fucked then. Dead.

tigerdriverII · 14/12/2011 22:01

That's too good for Bonio, GreenIce

Kayano · 14/12/2011 22:00

Lmfao at 'with or without you' and 'you're pretty fucked then' Grin

Bwahaha

poppycat04 · 14/12/2011 22:00

But I love Love Alanis...

RottenRow · 14/12/2011 21:59

yes yes to Oasis

Am currently hating the advert for noel gallagher's latest effort.

'If I had a gun/I'd shoot a hole into the sun'. DD's songs about poo are more intelligent.

GreenIceAndChristmasHam · 14/12/2011 21:59

I can't live...with or without you

I'd say you're pretty fucked then aren't you. A zombie-like 'undead' existence for you then Bono, Or maybe vampiric? half living/half dead.

poppycat04 · 14/12/2011 21:59

"got so many clothes I keep them in my aunt's house "

And LISA the victim mentality narc hated her MIL too I bet. I bet that bitch was nice to her and everything

LaBellaSantaCaterinadiSiena · 14/12/2011 21:57

I don't care if it's ironic but 'I'm a educated fool' from gangsta paradise makes my teeth itch

GreenIceAndChristmasHam · 14/12/2011 21:56

Tigerdriver that one has always driven me potty
