When you took my hand
on a cold Christmas Eve
you promised me
Broadway was waiting for me.
When you took my hand
on a cold Christmas Eve
you promised me
Broadway was waiting for me.
You scum bag
you maggot
you cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
i pray god
its our last.
You took my dreams from me when I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Canāt make it all alone
Iāve built my dreams around you.
Had hit records on my demo
Did yāall boys not get the memo?
I do not stay at the Intercontinental
And anything I got is not a rental
I own that muāfucka
Figured out this shit is simple
My stock been going up like a crescendo
A bunch of handshakes from the fakes
But nigga, I do not wanna be friends though
I told yāall muāfuckas
Man, this shit is not a love song
This a āfuck-a-stripper-on-the-mink-rugā song
This a āfuck-them-boys, forever-hold-a-grudgeā song
āPop-some-fucking-champagne-in-the-tubā song
Nigga, ājust-becauseā song
Drake - Trophies (in honour of no swear filter)
This for The Raleigh Boyā¦
She said it was just a figment of speech
And I said you mean, āFigureā
And she said, āNo figmentā because she could never imagine it happening
But it did
When we first met, I played the shy-boy
When she spoke to me for the first time, my nose began to bleed
She guessed the rest
The next day we went on a bus ride to the ferry
And when nobody came to collect our fares
Why I knew then this was something special
I couldnāt stop thinking about her
And every time I switched on the radio, there was somebody else
Singing a song about the two of us
It was just like being on a fast ride at the fun fair
The sort you want to get off because itās scary and then
As soon as youāre off, you want to get straight back on again
But oh, love is strange and you have to learn to take the crunchy
With the smooth I suppose, she began going out with Mr. Potato Head
It was when I saw her in the car park
With his coat around her shoulders, I realized
I went home and thought about the two of them together
Until the bath water went cold around me
I thought about her eyes and the curve of her breasts
And about the point where their bodies met
I confronted her about it
I said, "Iām the most eligible bachelor in town"
And she said, "Yeah, thatās why I can never understand
Any of those silly letters, you send me"
And then one day it happened
She cut her hair
And I stopped loving her
You are right - Iāve always loved that!
Well, itās been a very long time since a song has nearly brought me to tears, but this does it for me. It took me a number of listens until I got the subject - which is odd as itās now quite obvious from the lyrics in the second half of the song.
A new star is born in the stillness of morning
The edge of the universe time is expanding
Itās endless as love infinitely small
Lights in the darkness, no reason at all
Billions of years away half moons are sharing
Glasses of wine with asteroids passing
A galaxy wakes on the wrong side of space
Gravity laughs in realityās face
Somewhere there, like dust in the air
A sphere is drifting too slowly to bare
And clinging on tightly to rocks and stones
Are parasiteās calling this dust its home
Another second of another day
In this corner of space
In this dark, cold universe
This world that Iām living in makes no sense to me
Iām still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
A baby is born in the stillness of morning
Ten minutes past five they declared him alive
As tears roll down his motherās cheeks
And a midwife breathes a sigh of relief
While just down the road the last of the drunks
Make their way home to pass out on the bus
While the first of the businessmen in shirts and ties
Get ready to sell some more of their lies
In the newspaper offices lights still on
Theyāve been up all night waiting for things to go wrong
And nobody saw as the wheels came down
A young man silently fall to the ground
In the houses theyāre turning on lights
Putting blindfolds over their eyes
Getting ready for another day at work
This illusion that Iām living in makes no sense to me
Iām still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
A body is found in the stillness of morning
A priest in the street calls out a warning
Somewhere above London an air hostess stands
A 747 is coming in to land
A farmer has started her work for the day
Somehow she knows that something has changed
Out in the fields she dreams of her son
Back to the day when his journey begun
An eagle is searching for food in the spring
A sperm whale sleeps while a hummingbird sings
A lover is waiting for news by the phone
Out in the fields a cold wind blows
Cross the world thereās flashes of light
Theyāve been bombing the city all night
In the end, whatās it all worth?
This simulation that Iām living in makes no sense to me
Iām still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
Iām still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
A tear is traveling across some skin
Molecules of water in sodium spin
Atoms are shaking so infinitely small
Just lights in the darkness, no reason at all
Cool.
I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware?
I wish, I wish, I wish youād care
Sheās less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose
And her never born child still haunts her
As she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police
Out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
Sheās obvious despite herself
She looks like Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront
She says all she needs is therapy, yeah
All you need is, love is all you need.
āāā¦the money gets divided, the women get excitedā¦āā
Well she wore big knickers and she worked on tā sewage farm
I got me 'and down her jeans and nearly lost half me arm,
But after ten pints she looked quite fit, couldnāt wait to get me 'ands on her flabby tits
Sweaty Betty, Sweaty Betty.
So I said slap that and ride the ripples, just got the get me gob round her greasy nipples,
She had a massive arse and sweaty breasts, 38 chins she was a mound of flesh
Sweaty Betty she eats all the pies
Sweaty Betty shes got massive thighs
Sweaty Betty have you smelled her breath?
Sweaty Betty sheād crush a man to death
I knew she wanted me to shag her, so i stabbed her cunt with me mutton dagger
I couldnāt believe the size of her bum, she used to play for Wigan at the back of the scrum
Iāve seen nowt like that since the day I was born, but you know me, Iāll shag owt thatās warm
Sweaty Betty, she eats a lot of chips
Sweaty Betty sheās got massive tits
Sweaty Betty sheās got a huge vagina
Sweaty Betty youād fit a bus inside her
Sheās so obscene, 3 tons of margarine, sheās like a lump of lard but Sweaty Betty makes my willy hard.
A rich and deeply compelling work, I feel.
Oh, forgot to acknowledge - The Macc Lads - Sweaty Betty.
And when we shoot for the stars
What a giant step
Have we got what it takes
To carry the weight of this concept?
Or pass it by
Like a shot in the dark
Miss the mark with a sense of adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Donāt blame this sleeping satellite
This has the lot - Love, Hate, Betrayal, Crying, Bus Stops and Chip Shops!!! ā¦
Iāve been going out with a girl,
Her name is Julie
But last night she said to me,
When we were watching telly
(This is what she said)
She said listen John, I love you
But thereās this bloke, I fancy
I donāt want to two time you,
So itās the end for you and me
Whoās this bloke I asked her
Goooooordon, she replied
Not THAT puff, I said dismayed
Yes but heās no puff she cried
(Heās more of a man than youāll ever be)
Here we go, two three four
I was so upset that I cried,
All the way to the chip shop
When I came out there was Gordon,
Standing at the bus stop
(And guess who was with him? Yeah, Julie, and they were both laughing at me)
Oh, she is cruel and heartless
To pack me for Gordon
Just 'cause heās better looking than me
Just 'cause heās cool and trendy
But I know heās a moron, Gordon is a moron
Gordon is a moron, Gordon is a moron
Here we go, two three four
Oh sheās a slag and heās a creep
Sheās a tart, heās very cheap
She is a slut, he thinks heās tough
She is a bitch, he is a puff
Yeah yeah, itās not fair
Yeah yeah, itās not fair
(Iām so upset)
Iām so upset, Iām so upset, yeah yeah
(I ought to smash his face in.)
(Yeah, but heās bigger than me. Ināt he?)
(I know, Iāll get my mate Barry to hit him. Heād flatten him)
(Yeah but Barryās a mate of Gordonās ināe?)
(Oh well, I donāt care)
I donāt care
I donāt care
Cause sheās a slag and heās a creep
Sheās a tart, heās very cheap
She is a slut, he thinks heās toughā¦
A two hit wonder!

I must have a stuttering press send finger?
Sorted.
What can I do to make light of this dull dull day
What switch can I pull to illuminate the way
Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain
What seed must I sow to replenish this barren land
Teach me to harvest, I want you to grow in my hand
Lets be optimistic, lets say that we wont toil in vain
If we pull together well never fall apart again
Son, Iām 30. I only went with your mother cos sheās dirty.
And I donāt have a decent bone in me, what you get is just what you see, yeah!
Shame to edit bits out of this piece of creative genius from Peter Gabriel in his Genesis Days, but it is really long otherwise!!
I give you The Battle of Epping Forest.-
Thereās Willy Wright and his boys, one helluva noise
Thatās Billyās boys with fully-fashioned mugs
Thatās little Johnās thugs, the barking slugs, super smugs
For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out
Cominā over the hill are the boys of Bill
And Johnnyās lads stand very still
With the thumpires shout, they all start to clout
Thereās no guns in this gentlemanās bout
Amidst the battle roar, accountants keep the score, 10-4
Theyāve never been alone, after getting a radiophone
The bluebells are ringing for sweet meal Sam, real ham
Handinā out bread and jam just like any picnic, picnic, picnic, picnic
Itās 5 to 4 on William Wright, he made his pile on derby night
When Billy was a kid walking the streets, the other kids hid, so they did
And now after workinā hard in security trade, heās got it made
The shops that need aid are those that havenāt paid
āI do my double-show quickā Said Mick the prick, fresh out the Nick
āI sold cheap holiday, the minute they leave
Then a visit I pay anā does it payā
His friend, liquid Len by name, of wine, women and wands worth fame
Said, āIām breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framedā
Iām breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed, got me framed
They called me the reverend when I entered the church unstained
My employers have changed but the name has remained
All began when I went on a tour, hoping to find some furniture
I followed a sign, it said, 'Beautiful Chest"
It led to a lady who showed me her best
She was taken by surprise when I quickly closed my eyes
So she rang the bell, and quick as hell
Bob the nob, came out on his job to see what the trouble was
"Louise, is the reverend hard to please? "
āYouāre telling me!ā
"Perhaps, sir, if its not too late
We could interest you in our old-fashioned Stafford shire plate? "
āOh no, not me, Iām a man of reputeā
But the devil caught hold of my soul and a voice called out āShoot!ā
To save my steeple, I visited people
For this Iād gone when I met little John
His name came, I understood
When the judge said, āYouāre a robbing hoodā
But now, with a pin-up guru every week
It was love, peace and truth incorporated for all who seek
He employed me as a karma-ma-mechanic, with overall charms
His hands were then fit to receive, receive alms
We guard your souls for peanuts
And we guard your shops and houses
For just a little more, just a little more
In with a left hook is the bethnal green butcher
But hes countered on the right by Mickās chain-gang fight
And liquid Len, with his smashed bottle men
Is lobbing Bob the nob across the gob
With his kisser in a mess, Bob seems under stress
But Jones the jug hits Len right in the mug
And Harold Demure, whoās still not quite sure
Fires acorns from out of his sling, here come the cavalry
