What song lyrics do you just not "get"?

I was listening to that Katy Melua rubbish Closest Thing to Crazy today on the radio, and it just hit me... wtf is she on about...

"Feeling 22.... acting 17!"

So. She's feeling five years older than she's acting? Is that right?

It's not that blardy crazy love though, is it?

I'm not a Katie Melua fan but I did hear her on the radio sending the sailboat song up and it was very funny. Listeners sent in suggestions and she did the whole song with them so at least she's got a sense of humour!

peculiar, even

i heard the radio thing too, she is actually quite sweet- but her lyrics are bonkers!!

sweetcat · 30/08/2008 20:08

but they're not hers are they? I thought Mike womble Batt wrote them?

Raahh · 30/08/2008 20:09

thats true- now HE is Batty (see what i did there)?

pass it over here!

Raahh · 30/08/2008 20:11

you see i always wondered about the lyrics to Remember you're a womble.

How would you forget??

sweetcat · 30/08/2008 20:16

quite easily if they didn't have mirrors anywhere amongst their newspaper walls

Any connection to the wombles makes Mr Batt instantly forgivable in my eyes, but I wouldn't buy his or Katie's records. DH would divorce me!

Raahh · 30/08/2008 20:18

my sister had the wombles album. I was a Bay city rollers fan

I'm not entirely sure which is more embarrassing...

sweetcat · 30/08/2008 20:20

rollers deffo! I never "got" them at all. Wombles rule

Raahh · 30/08/2008 20:20

mc arthur park: 'someone left the cake out in the rain.It took so long bake it and i'm not sure that I can take it and I'll never have that recipe again.......'

Richard Harris' version is the worst, complete self indulgent twaddle

Obviously loaded with symbolism, dog. That cake must represent something
