Lyrics running through your head

[grisha]

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

"I got lost on the backstreets
Tryin' to get here tonight
The police were asking questions
They took me to the wrong place twice"

It's not even my favorite Who song ("Put The Money Down"), but that verse is always in my head for some reason.

[jon abbey]

welcome, Matt!

[tarfumes]

Thanks!

damn, son
skibadee is just like samson
and my mobile phone's a samsung

[SOZ]

Seh if yuh have a paper, yuh must have a pen
and if yuh have a start, yuh must have a end
seh five plus five, it equal to ten
and if yuh have goat, yuh put dem in a pen
and if yuh have a rooster, yuh must have a hen, now

[free math]

i'm breathin'
the fumes of the grid that rid my lobe of oxygen
i'm climbin'
the walls to where good and evil... make amends
i'm trippin'
writhin' and squealin', pukin', lookin' for someone like you
and i'm holdin'
something more precious than fine ore, baby
i'm holding you

[eraritjaritjaka]

it's like Shakespeare, with a little twist
its William back from the dead
but I rap 'bout gats and I'm black instead
it's Shakespeare reincarnated
except I spit flows and strip hoes naked
lyricist, im the best on the road
nitro flow oh-so-cold, I'ma blow yo
so real the shit I kick now
plus I don't write, I recite my hits now

[Salty Swift]

From Inglan to Poland every step across di ocean
the ruling class is dem in a mess, oh yes
di capitalist system are regress but di soviet nah progress
so wich one of dem yuh think is best
when di two of dem work as a contest
when crisis is di order of di day
when so much people is cryin' out to change nowadays

[Stevo]

Enola Gaye
You should have stayed at home yesterday
Oh Oh that kiss you gave
It's never ever going to fade away

keeps cropping up.

[niwi]

Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu

Xanadu, your neon lights will shine
For you, Xanadu

"You're not the only one
With mixed emotions.
You're not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean..."

My company had a round of layoffs this morning, but I survived, again...

[Salty Swift]

Me and the brothers no parlez-vous.
French was way down on my list.
(But) the Africans said "Merci beaucoup!"
'cause the rhythm's what they missed.

The people got the message
from the music that we play.
It really shouldn't a been no surprise
that we all got down that day

[eraritjaritjaka]

You want to sit down
but you sold your chair
so you just
stand there

[gordon]

On the first page of the book of blue it read
"If you read this page, then that'll be your death"
By then it was too late
And you wound up on an island of shells and bones
That bodies had left
And the one thing you taught me
About human beings was this:
They ain't made of nothing but water and shit

[Salty Swift]

That young boy without a name, anywhere I'd know his face.
In this city the kid's my favorite.
I've seen him, seen him. I see him every day.
Seen him run outside looking for a place to hide from his father,
the kid half naked and said to myself "O, what's the matter here?"
I'm tired of the excuses everbody uses, he's their kid I stay out of it,
but who gave you the right to do this?

We live on Morgan Street;
just ten feet between and his mother, I never see her,
but her screams and cussing, I hear them every day.
Threats like: "If you don't mind I will beat on your behind,"
"Slap you, slap you silly."
made me say, "O, what's the matter here?"
I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses, he's your kid, do as you see fit,
but get this through that I don't approve of what you did to you own flesh and blood.

I have heard the excuses everybody uses, he's your kid, do as you see fit,
but get this through that I don't approve of what you did to you own flesh and blood.

"If you don't sit in your chair straight
I'll take this belt from around my waist and don't you think that I won't use it!"

Answer me and take your time,
what could be the awful crime he could do at so young an age?
If I'm the only witness to your madness offer me some words to balance out what I see and what I hear.
All these cold and rude things that you do I suppose you do because he belongs to you
and instead of love and the feel of warmth you've given him these cuts and sores that don't heal with time or with age.

And I want to say "What's the Matter here?"
But I don't dare say "What's the Matter here?"
But I don't dare say.

[oldirtybastien]

Reach out and touch (touch me)
That very special touch
Yeah touch (touch me, touch me, touch me)
That very, very special touch baby
If I satisfy you (If I satisfy you)
How can you satisfy me

[Salty Swift]

You made me look at the world with different eyes
Tall electric pylons, planes in the sky
Little box of magic in my hand
Little box of magic sees the world

Tunnels, fields and signs everywhere
Faces, lights, reflections in the air
Little box of magic in my hand
Little box of magic sees the world

Little box of magic in my hand
Little box of magic sees the world
Colours, magic colours, paint the world
Colours, magic colours, paint the world

[eraritjaritjaka]

It's strange, sure it's strange.
You've got to pick up every stitch,
You've got to pick up every stitch,
The rabbits running in the ditch,
Oh no, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch, yeah,
Must be the season of the witch.
