Gee, Fighting in the dancehall
Oh man
look at those cavemen go
it's the freakiest sho-w-w-w.
...
Take a look at the long man beating up the wrong guy
beat up the wrong
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know.
It the best-selling show-w-w-w.
...
IS THERE LIFE ON MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAaAaARS?
I'm unfamiliar with 90% of these! What are you guys listening to?
Wonder if anyone recognizes these, I consider them fairly easy to identify but maybe not...
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
You really gotta stop listening to all that Prog Rock Jose! ;-)
As for the uncredited lyrics I've posted... Burt Bacharach, Billy Bragg, Half Man Half Biscuit, Elvis Costello, The Lucksmiths, Close Lobsters, Soup Dragons and Paul Simon.... phew!

Liquid and leather
In equal measure
Champagne, glass
mix em together
Sweet she's sweared
Vampire love
Crimson flows down like the wings of a dove
Don't know where to pay me
Guitars take flight
Wear my tightest pants, because it's Midnite!
Heart of a Lion
and the Wings of a bat
Because it's midnite!
Heart of a Lion
and the Wings of a bat
Because it's midnite!

Take a scenic trip around the coastal extremities of Britain in this lilting paean from Trembling Blue Stars...
Land's End at dusk
A day of churches
Her getting her hair cut.
A windswept walk to Dunnet Head
Boarding a north-bound train at Inverness.
A rainy Cley-next-the-Sea
Her swinging on a tyre
Me taking her picture
A station frozen in time
March stars in a Norfolk sky.
Her sleeping head on my shoulder
With the bus heading on
And the day-out done.
A lighthouse sending its light
Out across Thurso bay at night.
To Blakeney Point and back again
Walking in the ruins
Of Binham Priory.
Abba on the jukebox at Par Sands
A two way trip on the Bodinnick ferry.

Now every cheap hood
Strikes a bargain with the world
Ends up making payments
On a sofa or a girl
Love 'n hate tattooed
Across the knuckles of his hands,
Hands that slap his kids around
'cos they don't understand how...
...Death or glory
Becomes just another story.
And every gimmick hungry yob
Digging gold from rock 'n roll
Grabs the mike to tell us
He'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this
And it's been tested by research
He who ****s nuns
Will later join the church....
...Death or glory
Becomes just another story.
From every dingy basement
On every dingy street
Every dragging handclap
Over every dragging beat
It's just the beat of time
The beat that must go on
If you've been trying for years
We've already heard your song...
Captain Planet, he's our hero,
Gonna take pollution down to zero,
He's our powers magnified,
And he's fighting on the planet side
Captain Planet, he's our hero,
Gonna take pollution down to zero,
Gonna help him put us under,
Bad guys who like to loot and plunder
"You'll pay for this Captain Planet!"
(chanting)
We're the planeteers,
You can be one too!
'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do,
Looting and polluting is not the way,
Hear what Captain Planet has to say:

We took some beers
Down to the landlocked jetty
And looked across the lake
At the detritus of election night
In a town without a traffic light...
