("All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit" by Half Man Half Biscuit)

There was one in the gang
who had scalectrix
and because of that
he thought he was better than you
every day after school
youd go around there to play him
hoping to compete for some kind championship
And it always took about 15 billion hours to set the track up
And even when you did, the thing never seemed to work

It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, that cost 3 pound 10.

So he sent his doting mother
up the stairs with the stepladder
to get the Subbuteo
out of the loft
it had all the accessories
required for that big-match atmosphere
the crowd and the dugout
the floodlights too
and you'd always get palmed off
with a headless center-forward
and a goal-keeper with no arms
and a face like his

and he'd managed to get hold of
a Dukla-Prague Away Kit
'cause his uncle owned a sport shop
and he'd kept it to one side
and after only five minutes
you'd be down to ten men
as hed sent off your right back
for taking the base from under his left-winger
come to half-time, you were losing, four-nil
each and every goal, a hotly disputed penalty
so you smash up the floodlights
and the game was abandoned
and the dog would bark
and you'd be banned from his house
and your travelling army
of synthetic supporters
would be taken away from you
and thrown in the bin.

and now he's working
in a job with a future
he hands me my Giro
every two weeks.
and me, I'm on the lookout
for a proper transformer

My new favourite lyrics are from a Freebooters song about that Irish cop that was found innocent of murder a while back. It's called "Robocop Is Innocent", I think and the lyric is:


"Innocent me bollix
Innocent me bollix
You might as well tell me
Minor Threat were alcoholics!"

Most stuff by arab strap has great lyrics:

Packs of Three

It was the biggest ever cock youd ever seen, but youve no idea where that cock has been.
You said you were careful - you never were with me.
I heard you did it four times and jonnies come in packs of three.

She was the best shag Id ever had.
That doesnt mean Im saying, bedwise, you were bad.
I think you were working, we got a hotel.
We didnt have anything but I thought I might as well.

I never told the rest.
I was drunk and I told you I was thinking about a test.
You know I just said it for effect.
Then you laughed and said Id fuck anything in a skirt once Im erect.

And shes a famous harlot in this town.
I know enough to, but still I couldnt turn her down.
He said Im an arsehole, what was I thinking?
Its far too easy to blame it on the drinking.

Silver Jews : How to rent a room

No I don't really want to die
I only want to die in your eyes
I'm still here below the chandelier
where they always used to read us our rights

I want to wander through the night
as a figure in the distance even to my own eye
Have you ever rented a room
have you ever even rented a room?

An anchor lets you see the river move
but now that your evil dreams came true
there on your face
a row of teeth he'll come to replace

I know you laughed when I left
but you really only hurt yourself
When you see your curtains move in the wind
you can bet I'm betting against you again

Cause I'm a man who has a wife who has a mother
who married one but she loved another
You're a tower without the bells
you're a negative wishing well

I should have checked the stable door
for the name of the sire and dam
you were always at the dogtrack
with your brother and all his friends

Chalk lines around my body
like the shoarline of a lake
You're laughter made me nervous
it made your body shake to hard

Now there's a lot of things that I'm gonna miss
like thunder down country and the way water drips
when you're running for the door in the rain
read the metro section...see my name

No I didn't really want to die
I only wanted to die in your eyes
Grant me one last wish
Life should mean a lot less than this

The Dismemberment Plan -'Back and Forth'

There’s a kind of music that reminds me of you
It’s all clear expensive drinks and shiny shirts
And the click of heels as they descend from the taxi
Like the first foot on the moon, oh, and it glows with ache
And if it hits me right it’s almost too much to take
And it’s got right angle razor thin lines
That turn and swerve like perfect sines
As we dress to the nines in an
Attempt to leave it all behind
In a search of the moment between the seconds where
Everything is just fine
That silver thread imbedded deep within our spines
And I used to be kind of weird about this
A fear of dependence on a guilty gilt-edged
Hedged transcendence that makes us lairs
And tense the fear of looking down and seeing
That nothing really suspends us
But it was never just another Saturday night
Not with you in attendance

So throw your hands in the air
And wave them like you just don’t care
It’s on a whim; it’s on a dare
To shrug away what we can’t bear
And we’re going back and forth
And back and forth and back and forth and back
We’re going back and forth
And back and forth and back and forth and back

And it’s a deep blue see-through membrane that protects us
It connects us, a pulsing cellophane
Party-train skein that helps us and
Envelopes and keeps us locked inside
Forever and ever along for the ride
And we’re moving through a phosphorescent gel
A semi-solid self-lit ocean and it’s a funny notion, isn’t it?
Yeah, but I’m kinda digging it
And it’s rigged and isn’t nearly so big
And it speaks only of its own
Perpetual near miss
Like the uncertain memory
Of a stranger’s mistaken kiss
And faces slide by in glowing shadows
Like snowbound ghosts that go up and down
In epileptic shivers and negative radioactive slivers
In a landscape of endless dull glitter
And a taste in my mouth so sweet, yet so bitter
And we exhaust ourselves trying to get there

Somebody scream—all right
We’ll try to fill the echoless night
So fasten up and hold tight
We can’t give up without a fight
And we’re going back and forth
And back and forth and back and forth and back
We’re going back and forth
And back and forth and back and forth and back

So in the end, whatever, we die, we dissolve
Equations unbalanced, riddles unsolved
And we were never connected or involved
Except for the intersections and crazy mathematics
With no time and no space and no schedule and no place
And we pass right through it without a trace
And sometimes that music drifts through my car
On a spring night when anything is possible
And I close my eyes and I not my head
And I wonder how you been and I count to a hundred and ten
Because you’ll always be my girl, even if I never see you again

In my imagination
There is no complication
I dream about U all the time
In my mind, a celebration
The sweetest of sensation
Thinking U could B mine
In my imagination
There is no hesitation
We walk 2gether hand in hand
I`m dreaming
U fell in love with me
Like I`m in love with U
But dreaming`s all I do
If only they`d come true

CHORUS
I should B so lucky
Lucky, lucky, lucky
I should B so lucky in love
I should B so lucky
Lucky, lucky, lucky
I should B so lucky in love

It`s a crazy situation
U always keep me waiting
Because it`s only make believe
And I would come a-running
2 give U all my loving
If 1 day U would notice me
My heart is close 2 breaking
And I can`t go on faking
The fantasy that you`ll be mine
I`m dreaming
That U`re in love with me
Like I`m in love with U
But dreaming`s all I do
If only they`d come true

I should B so lucky
I should B so lucky
I,I I should B so lucky
I should B so lucky
I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I

In my imagination
There is no hesitation
We walk 2gether hand in hand
I`m dreaming
That U`re in love with me
Like I`m in love with U
But dreaming`s all I do
If only they`d come true

Throw a rock at any Sparks lyrics and you've got a winner. This is pretty special (from Sparks's 'Young Girls') and you can guess where it's going if you're familiar about how PC Ron Mael is:

They live at home
They don't have cars
I have a home
I have a car

"the f word" by vast air kramer (cannibal ox):

It's like, I care about you, I think about you all the time
it's like, we friends and shit?
which means we treat each other right
you'll be there for me when you gonna be there for me

yo it wasn't even like that
I wanted my cardiovascular to fight back
cupid had me runnin' circles blindfolded
in the daytime with a flashlight looking for her
yo, sit back, relax and smell the roses
a fly girl by any other name would still be that
but the trick is to see that
I'm caught in between future's fantasies and memories I played back
told my man I started sword fighting
'cause fencing was similar to tongue kissing
if you wait too long you gonna end up confessin'
all I think about is you undressin'
I extended my thoughts in a relationship
but they sunk like the titanic relation-ships
she was in a love triangle
but it wasn't like my feelings weren't there to make it a square
penny's for her thoughts
she's my very own American Beauty, red petals when we talk
...the f word

check this situation, I wore my lust like cologne
she called it Obsession
the background's black and white and we adolescents
like what the fuck we know about love?
the more I learn it's like the Clash of the Titans
all I wanna do is avoid fightin'
a little arguing's okay but not everyday
and if we can't communicate what we got decays
until the smell gets more pungent
to the point where we can't be seen in public
body parts fallin' apart, a symbol of what things do
or better yet, a symbol of what friends do, they die
and together forever just sounds fly
that's how it sounded to me when I heard it
and slow motion was her lips as she worded
the f word
"don't take it personal, I like you a lot but I don't wanna lose what we got"
but what we got now is friction
she tellin' me intimacy and friendship she ain't mixin'
the f word

yo, you burnin' the candle at both ends
I'm supposed to be the friend, I'm gettin' fried in the end
the big bang theory, what is this a trend?
you ask a girl out and the universe extends
tell me to talk to the hand again and I'll read your palm
I'm smellin' your shit now, don't know how to call
all I wanted was grounds for understanding
I ain't greedy, but to hold your heart I gotta put my hand in, why debate?
you think you can fit me in that anorexic space between love and hate?
I got all of the first one and none of the other
and that's something I learned from my sister and my mother
thought we was close in the genesis before all this
technology was cordless, a senseless courtship
this is more than just a song and when he's treating you wrong
I'm more than just a shoulder to cry on
the F word

Soundgarden - Head Down

We see you laugh
We see you dance
We take that away
Every day

We see you cry
We turn your head
Then we slap your face

We see you try
We see you fail
Some things never change

We hear you cry
We hear you wail
WE steal that smile from your face

Bow down to live
Your life

Head down, hide that smile
Head high got to smile

Head high like a song you like

"blood from the air" by john balance (coil):

A sleeping explorer, his wandering mind
Crossed over the border
A mind like a cemetery where the corpses are turning
Where the bodies twist deep
In the frozen grip of a dreamless sleep
Then the lowest comes up
Like a wreck from the depths
He hears night calling and has dreams of waking
Here in this brightness
That burns like slow lightning
He sees words burnt in ice
And reads that the world is a wound
In the body of Christ
Effects of the animal, animal sound effects
He says, "Death, he is my friend
He's promised me a quick end"
The world is in pain
And should be put down
And God is a sadist
And that he knows it
The depths of the night skies
Reflects in his eye
He says, "Everything changes
(Nine knives of ice)
And everyone dies"
And the night slits her veins
And the darkness drains
And the void rumbles in
Like an underground train
Forever comes closer
The world is in pain
We all must be shown, we must realise
That everyone changes and everything dies

"gemini" by ramleh:

STICKING RED PINS IN A MAP OF THE WORLD
PULLING ON MYSELF AS THE BANNERS UNFURL
OUT OF MY MIND IN OXFORD STREET
LOOKING AT A PICTURE OF A TEN YEAR OLD GIRL
CAN YOU TELL ME THAT IT’S INNOCENT?
WHEN SHE’S BEGGING IN THE DIRT
BOSNIAN RAPE CAMPS SPAWN A FEMINIST CAUCUS
GRAINY VIDEO SHOT IN ZAGREB, SREBENICA, BELGRADE
OVERDUB OBSCENITIES, REWIND FORTY YEARS
A RALLY IN THE SOFT NEW YEAR’S LIGHT
AND I COME AND I COME AND I COME AND I COME

STUCK IN A SMALL ROOM ON DEATH ROW
HOLD MY HAND AND TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO THEM
I NEED TO KNOW, I REALLY NEED TO KNOW
VENABLES, THOMPSON, PHANTOM PRINCES
KOREA – BREAK THE SILENCE
LESLEY, RACHEL PRAYING
SUSAN BREASTFEEDING
I NEED TO SEE IT
TINY, HOW DID HE TASTE?
YOU’RE A GOOD MOTHER
THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU FIND WHICH MAKE THE WORLD SPECIAL
HOW COLD WAS SHE ON THAT MOUNTAIN SIDE?
HERE I COME HERE I COME HERE I COME HERE I COME

IAN BEAT YOU, I KNOW IT’S TRUE
LIKE THAT GIRL WHO OVERDOSED
COCK HUNGRY, PREGNANT, DEAD
LINING UP FOR THE MONEY SHOT
SERBIAN WINTER – NICKELODEON SUMMER
A TODDLER KEELS OVER IN SOME SECRET ASIA
A BEAMING VICTIM IN SOME CHARITY FUNRAISER
THE SMELL OF PISS IN THE BOOTHS
TRACING OUT THE STORIES IN MY OLD SCRAPBOOK
AND I COME AND I COME AND I COME AND I COME

I’M STILL SQUEAMISH
AND I’M TRYING TO GIVE YOU ALL THE CLUES YOU WANT
PHILLIPINES, TOKYO, TWENTY FOUR HOUR OPENING
NOTHING QUITE TOUCHED ME LIKE ANNE MARIE SUFFERING
I VALUE THE SUBTLETY, ACCESS, SODALITY
SHE’S HANGING FROM THE BRIDGE AS THEY THROW ROCKS AT HER
BARBAROUS UTOPIA, RAISED BY WOLVES
SWASTIKAS CARVED ON THE FACES OF SCHOOL FRIENDS
LISA STEINBERG, THE RAINBOW CONNECTION
I LOVE Y’ALL LOVE Y’ALL LOVE Y’ALL LOVE Y’ALL

WINONA RYDER AND SOUL ASYLUM
READINGS FROM THE HOLY BIBLE
AMERICA’S SWEETHEART, COME ON, BABY
DADDY’S GONNA GET A JOB ON TV
BRING GRAVITAS TO THE SATELLITE FEED
TONYA’S NUPTIALS, GENIE DREAMING
GOLDEN MOMENTS ON CHEAP VIDEO CASSETTE
IF ONLY IT HURT AS MUCH AS YOU CLAIM
YOU DO ALRIGHT FOR SOMEONE WHO’S JUST EXISTING
I PAY MY WAY AND STILL FEEL SEEDY
THE PRICE IS PAID TO HELP THE GREEDY
LAP IT UP LAP IT UP LAP IT UP LAP IT UP

THE CIRCUS HITS TOWN
SPIKES SET DEEP IN THE EARTH
THE HOOKS GO IN
AS I RE-RUN THE FOOTAGE
OF YOU WALKING THE DOG ON WIMBLEDON COMMON
ALICE AND ANDREW, BRADY AND HINDLEY
A LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION TO AMNESTY
TENDER JAMIE – BREATHING AZT
A CAN OF COKE LEAVES A RING ON THE CASKET
I’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND BEHAVIOUR LIKE THAT
BUT THE REST IS EASY
ROLL UP ROLL UP ROLL UP ROLL UP

 

[HMD]

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!

Let Me Watch-Viktor Vaughn feat. Apani B Fly (as Nikki)

[Viktor Vaughn]
Mmm.. My cousin's friend's friend wanna meet me
Saw V on TV, said she needed a sweety
Heard he was the type to do her name in grafitti
Greet her with a kiss *kiss*
Straight gentlemen need stee, a G
What others meant to be is meant to be
She can slip a smile and make a nigga flip wild
Herand bold name chain, diamond chips crips style
With the magic bracelet, sweat with your case swiss
Athletic chick who run track
Hey miss, pleasure's all mine
Please call me Vik

[Nikki]
Okay, I did a full inspection
Head to toe we rocked black denim
Flashed the grin, sweetest sin
Said to him: "Hey, my name is Nikki
You twenty minutes late and almost miss me"
Turn off my CD, I was bumpin' Vinage Vicki
Said: "I love the ways you smile, but your eyes look tricky"
Yo I gotta be home by eight thirty or my moms'll kill me
She spasses out when I'm late, plus she says that I'm too young to date
So overprotective, I'd wish she take a set of different shit
Yea, but that's whatever
What's your perspective, tell me more about you Vik

[Viktor Vaughn]
It's love at first sight that's the proof
You wasn't out right to thirts, but in truth
Fresh as a mayflower, face like power
He had the green light, she asked him: "What's the plan tonight?"
Flavor of the night, Sam Sara from Fahrenheit

[Nikki]
He talked, I listened, he listened I spoke
We walked arm-in-arm and split a cherrycoke
Spitting religion and politics, Sega and chess
Roots and culture, hip-hop, skunk and sess
I caught him sneekin' peeks at my breasts
While frontin' name drop and connects

[Viktor Vaughn]
First started out like she was just Vaughn's friend
Used to act grown for pretend, whispering
Speaking on the phone, for hours on end
On a bone from just listening and then:
"Call me back on my phone", spoke the tone, again
Call back and do the same thing tomorrow
Something don't give her, been forced to ignore her
Gettin' on my last nerve, she did it
All this talk and shit and we ain't even hit it yet
It's uncharacteristic of the Vik

[Nikki]
Pickies on my neck, the whole last night, I couldn't sleep
Practice the words I used to greet you, the next time we meet
Think of you and feel heat, that make my cheeks blush
Close my eyes and feel your touch, get chills when you slit me tounge
Picture me with you, could my fantasies of T-love come true?
Got me wondering, how far I'll go to prove my moms and everybody wrong
I miss you every time I hear a love song and whenever you're gone
Until I see you, then I feel short of breath
I think maybe I'm ready.. to take the next step.. yes

[Viktor Vaughn]
I got your cabfare, dinner and a movie
Bring a change of clothes, just in case it's all groovy
Watch when I see you, I miss you a lot yo
How about a nightcab, maybe a bottle of mo
So V can bite your titties like a big ?fotographer? ho

[Nikki]
Oh no you didn't! You called me a what? Don't make me wig out
How you gonna last some shit like that's about your mouth (nah, I was just)
If I was there, I'd smack you in your smirk (ooh), for acting like a jerk
Thought you was cool, but now I doubt the shit is gonna work
I'm not hurt, I'm pissed off, piss off, fuck this shit

[Viktor Vaughn]
I know I played too much
Hey on the way, could you please pick up two dots
Ok peace, see you when you touch
I wondered if she ever had a coodycat eight eight
Vaughn can't wait too long, stroked it on the late late

[Nikki]
Wait, first let's get this shit straight straight
Don't call me out my name, I'm not the one to get played played
Out... niggaz, go figure 'em out, they're all the same same
With a lame lame story, like my ex-man Mike
Got my best friend pregnant and he's still tryin' to call me
Well fuck Mike and fuck Vik too
I wound up on prozac from all the shit he put me through
Only been off my prescription three weeks
And you got me flippin, rippin' my hair out
Never thought you'd treat me like a pigeon
I'm out, it's over, I'm gone
So long.

[Nikki & Vik]
I'd rather masturbate, than fuck with Vik Vaughn (let me watch)
I'd rather masturbate, than fuck with Vik Vaughn
(Still... so.. so what time you gonna be here?)
(Aight? You know I'm gonna be waitin', just holla and ring a dozen)

("All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit" by Half Man Half Biscuit)

The sad thing is I was reading this thread thinking to myself "it's only a matter of time till somebody posts All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit."

I'm judgin' you.

THE NATIONAL!!! All their lyrics but in particular this wee ditty...

Karen
Karen, I'm not taking sides
I don't think I'll ever do that again
I'll end up winning and I won't know why
I'm really trying to shine here, I'm really trying
You're changing clothes and closing windows on me all the time

Well, whatever you do, listen, you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America
Whatever you do
Listen, you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone

Karen, we should call your father, maybe it's just a phase
He'll know the trick to get a wayward soul to change his ways
It's a common fetish for a doting man
to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand

Well, whatever you do
Listen, you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America
Whatever you do
Listen, you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone

Without warm water in my head
All I see is black and white and red
I feel mechanical and thin
Hear me play my violin again
I'm living in the target's shoes
All I see is black and white and blue.
Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest
Protect the title

Karen, put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink
I've lost direction, and I'm past my peak
I'm telling you this isn't me
No, this isn't me
Karen, believe me, you just haven't seen my good side yet

Well, whatever you do
Listen. you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America
Whatever you do
Listen, you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone

Without warm water in my head
All I see is black and white and red
I feel mechanical and thin
Hear me play my violin again
I'm living in the target's shoes
All I see is black and white and blue
Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest
Protect the title

I must be me, I'm in my head
Black birds are circling my bed
I must be me, I must be me
Black feathers are falling on my feet
Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest
Protect the title

 

[Gardenhead]

Or this....by Neutral Milk Hotel....

The only girl I've ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now she's a little boy in Spain
Playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the sun
All sing to say my dream has come

But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
The Earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart

But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

And here's where your mother sleeps
And here is the room where your brothers were born
Indentions in the sheets
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
And it's so sad to see the world agree
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

 

[theweeyin]

I find these lyrics sum things up for me at this particular moment in time:

You had the best
But you gave her up
'Cause dependency might interrupt
Idealistic will so hard to please
Put your indecisive mind at ease
You broke the set
Now there's only singles
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

Are you happy now?
How is it now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy?

The uncertainty you had of me
Brought cloudy shady company
The tenderness habitual
A seldom-fading ritual
You killed the pair
Now only one is breathing

There's no looking back
This time I mean it

No more leaning on your shoulder
I won't be there, no more bother
If you feel you just might want me
That's too bad, I'm not that easy

The contemplator all those years
Now you must adhere
To your new career of liberation
You've been cast all by yourself
You're free at last You broke the set
Now there's only singles

There's no looking back
This time I mean it

You're by yourself
All by yourself
You have no one else
You're by yourself
