This bit in Invalid Litter Dept:
In the company of wolves was a stretcher
Made of cobblestone curfews
And the federales performed their custodial customs quite well
The line ‘quite well’ always made me laugh, like let’s not go overboard about the federales.
Probably think of some more in a minute.
the bridge to “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran:
“and darling I will be loving you 'til we’re 70”
just seems like a very specific cut-off point
First time I heard The Shape Of You, I thought it was a crap rip-off of Flight of the Conchords
We’re going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay
And leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
We wanna sit down but you’ve sold your chair
So we, we just stand there
IT’S BUSINESS
IT’S BUSINESS TIIIIIIIME
Something that happens now and then in our house is that me or Mrs F will be looking for a t-shirt or something and when the other person asks which t-shirt the answer is usually ‘TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE NINETY NIIIIIIIINE’
Yeah this is really good
Every time I’m in the supermarket bakery section: “baguette, hahaha, baguette” in a crap French accent
I am trying to be heroic in an age of modernity
I am trying to be heroic, because all around me history sings
So I enjoyed and I devoured flesh and wine and luxury
But in my heart I am lukewarm nothing ever really touches me
At Les Trois Garcons
We meet at precisely
9 o’clock.
I order the foie gras and I eat it with complete disdain
Bubbles rise in champagne flutes,
But when we kiss I feel nothing
Feasting on sleeping pills and Marlboro Reds
(So busy, won’t save you)
Oho, How our, how our parents they suffered for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the 80’s never happened
People are afraid, are afraid
To merge on the freeway
Disappear here
Stroll the pier
Into the magazine launch party
I am handed a pill, and I swallow with complete disdain
Kick-drum bangs off the high-hat; remembered to look bored
We suck each others’ faces and make sure we are noticed
(Cocaine won’t save you)
Because East London is a vampire
It sucks the joy right out of me
How we look for corruption in these golden years
Oho, How our, how our parents they suffered for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the 80’s never happened
People are afraid, are afraid
To merge on the freeway
Disappear here.
Disappear here.
Disappear here.
Disappear here.
Disappear here.
Someone once told me that Trashcan Sinatras are really good, so I bought a single and listened to the first line:
I never lost my virginity
I know exactly where i put it
That was enough for me.
Who else got the luxury to drop when he want
'Cause nobody else can fuck with me?
What a show-off
N***a wrist for wrist let’s have a glow off
Fuck it, brick for brick let’s have a blow off
Pusha T challenging another drug dealer to a farting competition
“Movin’ like a tortoise…full of rigor mortis”
Always found ‘I got knowledge and other suckers lack it’ quite funny too for some reason.
Almost all Ozzy lyrics are pretty funny. Love how he can start Crazy Train all manic laughing and gothy guitar licks then its like why cant we be friends etc
Paranoid is a tune but its like get some rest m9
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
is a great bit
Big fan of this from Entombed’s Lights Out
Midnight, the subway train is here
There’s a body on the tracks, but you’re trying not to care
It’s sensationally wicked, it roars on through in the night
"Look mom, that body’s got no head
It’s covered in blood, do you think the man is dead?"
That kid has no future in medicine
Would like to hear @anon26542726 opine on this because I believe he likes Pusha T and I know he likes the term ‘blow off’
So I stand
in the sun
And I breathe
…with my lungs
As opposed to the other organs you might breathe with aye conor?
Reckon it’s semi intentionally funny but really like ‘shot in the face make you send for the nurse’ in Skeng. Like I think you may want a paramedic at that stage
