Lyrics that Amuse You - Make You Smile

[Peter99]

It's pouring with rain, need something to brighten up the day - this one has been amusing me over the last few days - from Arthur Alexander. 

Better known for his Monument recording I Need You Baby. On a podcast from Sean Hampsey, with Tats Taylor, Tats said the I Need You Baby outing was his favourite soul record. Tastes change, I wonder if Tat's has. Anyway, I'm rambling.  This makes me smile.  Peter

There's a bit in it that sounds like "Sweat was dripping of my face and sh#ts all over the place"

If that makes you smile, how about if infact they're saying "part one, and part two, and part three if we have the time"

[Benji]

How about Exciters "Blowing up my mind"? No need to quote, there are plenty of lines in these lyrics that could make one smile.

Anyway, my favourite line "It's almost like eating beans by the pound. Then wrapping up in adhesive tape from the waist down"

First verse of Parliaments - Don't Be Sore At Me

My anger clouded my judgement and I saw a red flash, but my mouth wrote a cheque that my heart couldn't cash 

 

[Shinehead]

Love the lyric to this one especially the line that goes - "Don't worry about the kids , I,ll treat em kind , after all half of them are mine ".

All the lyrics to this brilliant record are superb, but too many to print here. Just a sample, though:

" She goes to bed every night
With her fists balled up tight
And then out of the bed
Hollering, "Come on Maskman, I'm ready to fight!"
That's what she said
That's what she trying to start

And then she run to the kitchen and get the water hot
She missed me with the water but she caught me with the pot
She picked a can of biscuits and I gave the dog a bite
He been barking at the moon and acting stupid all night"

[Soultrainer]

Contours First I Look At The Purse

I don’t care if she wobbles like a duck or talks with a lisp,

I’d still think I was in luck if her dollar bills are crisp.

Every line amuses me. PC brigade would not be happy!
