"Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a newborn baby's head"

and, I'll add.....

"the air is heavy, heavy as a truck"

"Mr. Lenin - awaken the boy
Mr. Stalin - bi-sexual epoch
Kruschev - self love in his mirrors
Brezhnev - married into group sex
Gorbachev - celibate self importance
Yeltsin - failure is his own impotence

Björk's Isobel.

my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself

when she does it she means to
moth delivers her message
unexplaind on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse

 

[GibsonGirl]

Queen - Mustapha ranks pretty high up there. It's just a really strange song on the whole.

"Ibrahim, Ibrahim, Ibrahim,
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah will pray for you.
Hey!

Mustapha, Mustapha, Mustapha Ibrahim.
Mustapha, Mustapha, Mustapha Ibrahim.

Mustapha Ibrahim, Mustapha Ibrahim
Allah, Allah, Allah will pray for you.
Mustapha Ibrahim, al havra kris vanin
Allah, Allah, Allah will pray for you.
Mustapha, hey! Mustapha
Mustapha Ibrahim, Mustapha Ibrahim, hey!

(These aren't the real lyrics - I copied and pasted them...they just look damn funny)

 

[clifedge]

The first verse in "When Will I Ever Learn to Live in God" by Van Morrison goes:

The sun was setting over avalon,
the last time we stood in the west,
Suffering long time angels enraptured like Blake,
Burn out the dross, innocence captured again

He lost me with that third line...

 

[Canadiens1131]

Not necessarily weird, but Willie the Pimp by Frank Zappa always makes me laugh, I think the guy from Captain Beefheart sings them

I'm a little pimp with my hair gassed back
Pair a khaki pants with my shoe shined black

Got a little lady . . . walk the street
Tellin' all the boys that she cain't be beat

Twenny dollah bill (I can set you straight)
Meet me onna corner boy 'n don't be late

Man in a suit with a bow-tie neck
Wanna buy a grunt with a third party check

Standin' onna porch of the Lido Hotel
Floozies in the lobby love the way I sell:
HOT MEAT
HOT RATS
HOT CATS
HOT RITZ
HOT ROOTS
HOT SOOTS

HOT MEAT
HOT RATS
HOT CATS
HOT ZITZ
HOT ROOTS
HOT SOOTS

 

[Saracene]

"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen:

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
Galileo galileo
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro magnifico-o-o-o



"Bike" by Pink Floyd

I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house
I don't know why I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want things
I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish

Syd Barrett sure loved his acid,

"Rats" by Rasputina:

Very many years ago, the Bolivians were starving so,
They had rats as big as ponies there
They asked the Pope to declare them fish

 

[impy13]

No more leaky holes in your brain and no false starts

I was rocking some Eraser earlier today. I'm surprised you wouldn't choose "peel all of your layers off, I want to eat your artichoke heart" from that particular song though.

I'll make a contribution to this thread when it's not ridiculously late. Tomorry.

 

[DrTeeth]

Informer, you no say daddy me snow me Ill go blame,
A licky boom boom down.
Detective mon said daddy me snow me stab someone down the lane,
A licky boom boom down.

There's an insect in your ear, if you scratch it wont disappear...

 

[LemonMelon]

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasnt easy
But nothing is, no

When I feel heavy metal (WOO-HOO!)
And Im pins and Im needles (WOO-HOO!)
Well I lie and Im easy
All of the time but Im never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you (WOO-HOO!)

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

That is pure genius right there. A perfect send-up of Nirvana.

As for weird lyrics, Zappa is pretty damn far out.

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, Nirvana lyrics fail to make sense to me as well. I love Blur, but I must admit, those are FAR OUT.

 

[Bonochick]

I you, Ryan Adams...

I'm in love because I just fell in love and made love
I'm in love because I just fell in love and made love
And sometimes when I'm making love it makes me feel like making love
And when I make love, I go out with my friends and get drunk
There's something 'bout making love that makes me fall in love and make more love
And then I'm feel in love, because I just made love and I think I'm in love
Then when I make love, I'm in love making love go out and then get fucked up
Then I fall out of love, then I fall back in love make love and then I get fucked up
It's super fucked up
It's super fucked up
It's super fucked up
It's super fucked up
I'm in love because I just made love, fell in love and I made some more love
And when I fall in love I make love then I'm in love then I make more love and then I'm in love
And sometimes when I make love, I feel like I am probably in love
Then I'm in love, I'm in love, then I go out and then, well, I get fucked up
Then I fall out of love, it's perfectly fucked up
It's perfectly fucked up, 'cause I'm not in love
If I were in love, then I'd fall in love, make love, go out with Billy and get fucked up
And then I would fuck it up, and then I'd fall back in love

How about this one?

It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here
And I never knew the moon could be so big
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And I don't care if nothing is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my loving in the Winter.

And the sea isn't green
And I love the queen
And what exactly is a dream?
And what exactly is a joke?

 

[Zoots]

Re: Re: Weirdest lyrics you've ever seen!

Oh yeah, that one too!

Or this:

An Effervescing Elephant
with tiny eyes and great big trunk
once whispered to the tiny ear
the ear of one inferior
that by next June he'd die, oh yeah!
because the tiger would roam.

The little one said: "Oh my goodness I must stay at home!
And every time I hear a growl
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
and I'll be really safe, you know
the elephant he told me so."

Everyone was nervy, oh yeah!
and the message was spread
to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
who wallowed in the mud and chewed
his spicy hippo-plankton food
and tended to ignore the word
preferring to survey a herd
of stupid water bison, oh yeah!

And all the jungle took fright,
and ran around for all the day and the night
but all in vain, because, you see,
the tiger came and said: "Who me?!
You know, I wouldn't hurt not one of you.
I'd much prefer something to chew
and you're all too scant." oh yeah!
He ate the Elephant

LMAO!

 

[shari schultz]

'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks (????!?!????????!!! )

The above is from Brad Paisleys "Ticks"

He's in love with his... dog?

 

[Aygo]

REM's "E-bow the letter" is pretty weird when you listen to it in the first times...

 

[love_u2_adam]

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"

 

[BVS]

Psychedelics and Alice in Wonderland

Never did them firsthand, but love the concept...

 

[TheQuiet1]

The first verse in "When Will I Ever Learn to Live in God" by Van Morrison goes:

The sun was setting over avalon,
the last time we stood in the west,
Suffering long time angels enraptured like Blake,
Burn out the dross, innocence captured again

He lost me with that third line...

Could that be a reference to the English poet William Blake? He said he saw and conversed with angels, spent his spare time wandering around his garden naked with his wife pretending to be Adam and Eve...the usual stuff for an 18th century poet really.

When it comes to weird lyrics what about:

Cos I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowing gently but it's all elementary my friend

...

Cos I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
Cos she's got dirty dishes on the brain
And my dog's been itchin'
Itchin' in the kitchen once again

Then again, I'm not so sure that's an example of weird lyrics so much as bad writing...

 

[Zoots]

Hey Quiet1, what about "slowly walking down the hall faster than a cannonball"?

Pretty clever editing


For my choice of weirdness, I'll go local with Buddy Wasisname and The Other Fellers. It's from their very influential album D'Lard Liftin'. When he's not practising law, my uncle manages these guys


Flies

This island of ours is a paradise lost
to billions of nippers, flies and wasps!
Our fathers didn't move west furthermore
There's a million times more in Labrador!

Chorus
Flies, flies, crawlin' and buzzin'
Chewin' and suckin' and spittin' and hummin'
If it weren't for flies, sakes alive
We'd be livin' in paradise.

They're crawlin' up yer nose so you cannot breathe
Gettin' in yer eyes so you cannot see
There's flies in your pants, shirtsleeves, and shoes
And nippin' at your bum when your doin' your poo!

Chorus

Blue arse flies have lots of other names
What they're called around outhouses I can't say
They wouldn't bother you but after the turds
They're into the kitchen crawlin' over desserts.

Chorus

You're lyin' in bed in the middle of the night
You closed all the doors and you turned out the lights
There's a buzzin' in your ear and you swing at a fly
Missed the dirty nipper and hit the wife in the eye.

Chorus

There's flies of all sorts, ticks, bees and fleas
And little tiny buggers when you're trying to sleep
But the worst fly to get you is not one of these
But the nip from a zipper when you finish your pee.

Repeat chorus twice, add "Just outside of Mount Pearl" to end.

Be like the squirrel, girl
