“I never thought it would happen
With me and a girl from Clapham”
I know it’s childish but Rainbows by The Moldy Peaches has long been my favourite opening line
You gotta have rain to have a rainbow
You gotta have dick to have a dick in your mouth
I feel obligated to throw some Titus Andronicus in:
Okay, I think, by now, we’ve established
that everything is inherently worthless
And there is nothing in the universe
with any kind of objective purpose
I’ve got a bone to pick with capitalism
And a few to break
I’m sorry mama,
But I’ve been drinking again
Personal favourite of mine
I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
And now we proudly present songs perverse and songs of lament
a couple hymns of confession and songs that recognise our sick obsessions.
And in fact another good Kasher one:
The first time that I met her I was throwing up in a ladies room stall
You could really fill up the whole thread with Titus Andronicus, Patrick Stickles is seriously one of the few greatest lyricists ever.
I’m a fountain of blood, in the shape of a girl.
somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
is it in your head now? good.
“I’m in love with your brother… What’s his name?”
Stop making the eyes at me
I’ll stop making the eyes at you
“I was at a funeral the day I realized I wanted to spend my life with you”
