Lyrics that make you say ‘eh?’

[CastorTroyWantsHisFaceBack]

Lounging on my Sunday afternoon and listening to an amazon playlist.

Toni Braxton - he wasn’t man enough for me comes on.

The lyrics make no sense

What are you thinking?
Did you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn't man enough for me

If she’s not thinking about him, why is she singing to his poor wife that he begged to stay when she dumped him?

Have you any songs that make you say ‘eh? You’re just talking shite now love’?

@WordsFailMeAgain very lazy songwriting then lol

Bryan Adams has a few horrors, but “The only thing that looks good on me is you” is particularly bad.

But at least he has enough self-awareness to “put those patent leather pants in the circular file”. Because no-one needs to see that...

I once Googled the lyrics to REMs What’s the Frequency Kenneth?

It’s a very very weird song.

@Malope what's "er" about that lyric?

The streets, you're fit but you know it.... have you listened to the whole song?

‘Sometimes the snow comes down in June sometimes the sun goes round the moon ‘
Err someone needs a science lesson

@Makegoodchoices the "shower" lyric - it's a reference to ejaculation, making him shower is making him come. Refers to the popular 💦 emoji for jizz.

Van Halen - Jump

'I ain't the worse that you've seen'

Way to sell yourself, mate.

All cried out by Alison Moyer annoys me.
She says that she promised there would be no one else and she would be true but she has changed her mind and moved on .
Well good on her I say . All good so far !
But then she says that he shouldn't look surprised because he knew where he stood from the start !
Eh is it just me !
How did he know where he stood if she was promising to be true whatever but has now got another bloke sitting in his seat. Thereby breaking aforementioned promise !
No wonder he was surprised ! It makes no sense !

Smells Like Teen Spirit

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial

Kylie Minogue, Dancing:
"When you come knocking, I'll be at your door"
Well, then you'e both going to miss each other, love.

Whitney Houston, I wanna dance with somebody:
"Don'tcha wanna dance say you wanna dance,
With somebody who loves me"
Why would I want to dance with someone who loves you?

I'm yet to work our how to put my pinky ring up to the moon 😂

...out not our!

I think it means drain your glass. If you too the glass up your pinky (and any ring on it) points skywards - to the moon.

Take your seaside arms and write the next line.

Eh?

Seaside arms has always annoyed me..so pretentious! What does that mean? Wavy? Salty? Crabby? also the girl that went from laundromat to diplomat. Other way round actually.
Isn't chimney on her, chimney stack? Rhyming slang for black eye ? I might be wrong..

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing ...

Who ever thought that would be a great song lyric?!

Whoever said Tori Amos , was spot on. One of the reasons I love her, though 'peel the watchword' has always bugged me
'Lemon pie is coming through' is from a true story, a guy she sat next to on a plane communicating with his pie from what I recall.
And Ratouille strychnine sometimes she's a friend of mine, is one of my all time favourite lyrics

Thesnail, it's the way she sings 'That's a fact' that annoys me!

I recently watched some old Luther episodes - with subtitles sometimes as they were mumbling ... the crappy theme song has lyrics .. 'she will love you like a fly will never love you ...' whoever wrote that wants a good slap.

All the lyrics to Stairway to Heaven. I love that song (fond childhood memories) but the words are pure dopehead hallucination.

Yeah, alltoomuch, facts are that we're 27,000 light years from the edge of the galaxy and 46.5 billion from the edge of the universe. Neither of which is particularly close to twelve billion. Although twelve scans better.

“Don’t call me baby, you’ve got a nerve and baby that’ll never do”

Always pisses me off!

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting thought the wind
Wanting to start again

Katy Perry
Makes me throw things at the radio

Carly Simon: You're so vain

You're so vain,
I bet you think this song is about you.

Err, yeah.

Yes! Licky boom boom down. Eh?

I just looked up this, as I thought it contained the above:

Say boom boom boom let me hear u say wayo

I think there was a boom in song writing around this time.

All of the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody. I believe it was all meant to be nonsense although for years I wondered!
