to get disproportionately angry when songs do not make sense

[WTAF]

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?

Guess I shouldn't have spoken too soon.

"Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?"

Yeahhh?think you've answered your own question there to be honest

Seriously though? Toast with ghost?
She might as well have rhymed it with 'post' or 'coast'

I don't want to see a ghost, I'd rather open the post, live by the coast, have a party to host, cook a Sunday roast, etc

I'm quite good at this. I think I've missed my vocation.

Bethshine, you were born to be a lyricist, clearly

lol @ Bethshine

REM are saying 'Calling to wake her up' in the chorus to 'Sidewinder'. I thankyew

Similarly theres Alexis Jordans Good Girl

....Wanna take me on a date
You've got what it takes
You better have some cake

'she's a killer queen, gunpowder, gelatine'
So after an assassination she likes to pop a few haribo?

Feel it by tamperer ft maya

What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her

Wtf had to google it

Chasing pavements? Wtf? Is that just falling over pissed?

"Remember that tank top you bought me
You wrote you're gorgeous on it"

What an exceptionally well-equipped handbag that girl must carry to contain a fabric pen. Did she also have an iron to fix the ink with, perhaps using it on the car bonnet she forces him to cavort on for her pleasure? Unlikely.

To be fair to Melua. I've been to Beijing and there are a shit load of bicycles.

Disclaimer: stopped counting before getting to nine million.

Ooh, ooh, I've got another...
What the ACTUAL FUCK is a 'walking Primrose'? (girls aloud)

'When we collide we come together'

Most redundant lyric ever.

'Are we human or are we dancing' I don't know, you tell me, need these two factors be mutually-exclusive? This lyric really does my 'effing nut.
The shallow pool of insight

Lettletown, Im not sure there were any girls involved in that song...

Don't think Queen meant Haribo gelatine...

I am very unhappy that Desree's "Life" has come up in this thread because I DETEST it and its stupid inane lyrics and now I have it in my head.

CatPuss 'Walking Primrose', as in walking on Primrose Hill in London. Still, pretentious crap.

I'm sure there was in the video, but hey, I still think the concept of a horny home-crafter is stretching credulity, whatever their gender.

'Yes sir I can boogie, but I need a certain song. Yes sir, I can boogie, boogie woogie all night long'

Oh yes, all good for you, but not much fun for every other fucker listening to the same song all night is it? I can't see any disc jockey worth his or her salt agreeing to that 'request'

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
through the pouring rain,
Going where the weather suits my clothes (Nilsson)

What clothes would they be then?

"Here I am, a walking primrose..."
How does that translate to being in Primrose Hill??

There were girls in the video of 'Last Christmas', doesn't mean that GM is any less gay though!

No 'a' in it CatPuss

The Promise

Just about hanging out in celebville.
