And if you think
That I’ve been losing my way
That’s because I’m slightly blinded
(90s)

Inspired by @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf’s comments about John Wayne is Big Leggy, I’ve put together a selection of songs with dubious, politically incorrect or just downright disturbing lyrics. I have attempted not to post the most awful lyrics from each one...

80s
Now you're a wonderful girl, you got a wonderful smell, you got wonderful arms, you got charms

60s
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come

70s
Who makes it fun to spend your money
Who calls you honey
most every day.

60s
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined

80s
Success has been so easy for you

70s
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find

60s
And though you know it’s wrong to be alone with me
That come-on look is in your eyes

60s
Drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop

Well done Honey, but ElfShelf will be miffed you got the Stones before her...

FlouncingBabooshka · 27/12/2020 21:26

Not the Wurzels, Combine Harvester, though I can see why you might have thought that...
