"But I believe in this and it's been tested by research. He, who **** nuns, will later join the church."

Death or Glory by The Clash taken the album of the 80's (according to Rolling Stone Magazine even though it came out in 1979 :wink: ) London Calling.

Have another go. It's too late for me to think of any others.

Since no one else will, heres another one.

Give me a reason
Send me a postcard
Tell me a story
Why are you so far
I'm cramming for nothing
I'm pushing on buttons
Tell me why, tell me why
You're fooling no one


A Triple J song from last year. Was in the mid 40s in the hottest 100.

Pony Up! - the turth about cats and dogs. ;)

Hmmmm....I won't pick something from what i;m listening to now, too easy (Stairway to Heaven)

How about:

and all at once I wake up
from something that keeps knocking at my brain
before i go insane i hold my pillow to my head
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.

Well there is a change of genre for you.
I think it is "I Think I Love you" by David Cassidy/Partridge Family.

I'll assume I am right so I will put one up before I go to work----


Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.

Ok, here's another:

So, I broke into the palace
With a sponge and a rusty spanner
She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

I could be wrong but I think that line was inspired by Michael Fagan, who was a "gentle*" (* Read loon) little soul who broke into the Palace and sat on the Queens bed and spoke to her for while. Sometime later (to cash in on his fame) he recorded a version of (the Pistols) "God Save The Queen" and indeed he couldn't sing! I actually remember seeing the single in Umbrella Music when it was still upstairs in Frome St and Doug played it for me.

The song is "The Queen is Dead" by The Smiths by the way.

Here's an oldie.....

"Had a date at seven with a girl named Fleur - Then I just remembered had a date with her."

Well, I'm going to assume I'm right!!!!

Here's mine, one of my all time favourite songs :

I been run down, I been lied to,
I dont know why I let that mean woman make me a fool.
She took all my money, wrecked my new car.
Now shes with one of my goodtime buddies,
Theyre drinkin in some crosstown bar.
