I've improved this for you Holloway. I always sing, 'are we humans or are we hamsters?'

[rendelharris]

My love don't give me presents

I know that she's no peasant

[ruffers]

Can't complain, mustn't grumble,

Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble.

ABC - That Was Then, This is Now

I think that sounds quite TS Eliot :))

Actually - "Are we human or are we dancer?" - I believe.

Which is worse I think.

Nah ! 80s Genesis innit.

The classic song-written-while-on-something-illegal, MacArthur Park.

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down

Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it

'Cause it took so long to bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again

"Ironic" - Alanis Morisette.

ETA: Oh...lines. I guess this:

"It's a black fly in your Chardonnay"

What do you make of "Everyone's Gone to the Movies", uncleglen?

[Elphinstone's Army]

" I thank the Lord that I've been blessed, with more than my share of 'appiness " - sung smirking

[Selclene Southeast]

As I cuddled the porcupine

He said I had none to blame, but me.

Held my heart, deep in hair.

Time to shave, shave it off, it off.

No time for romantic escape,

When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No

Crap lyrics but possibly one of the best songs ever written! Genesis "Back in New York City" 1974

Same as everyone else really. Maybe they were doing a public service by alerting parents to the existence of such people as Mr LaPage down the hall...that's of course if their parents were into the band in the first place...

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag, he used to be a british flag, plastic bag, what a drag. The frog was a prince, the Prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird.
