Memorable Song Lyrics .

Jacques Brel?

 

Liked a few from Garth brooks such as, "we bury the hatchet, but leave the handle sticking out"

Or "Mamas in the graveyard papa's in the Pen".

Just one liners but the rest if the lyrics are pretty catchy.

 

Four hundred children and the cat's on the pill....

 

"Cemetary cool and quiet, hate to leave your sacred lay, dread the milky coming of the day.."

Jim Morrison, love his poetry and his supermarkets

 

As kids, we changed it thus.

We had joy
We had fun
Flicking bogies to the sun
But the sun was too hot
So they melted into snot.

 

Possibly the most memorable lyrics ever written...

It was a hot Sunday mornin'
Middle of July
The choir was a singin'
'Bout the sweet by and by

Everybody was a swayin'
And sweatin' in the heat
We all bowed our heads down
As the preacher took his seat

My sister and my brother stood next to my mother
In the quiet at the close of the verse
That's when daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

My sister rolled her eyes back
My brother bit his lip
My cousin just behind us
Whispered, "Hey, who let it rip?"

I stuck my face in my shirtsleeve
Stared down at my shoes
Lord, you could hear a pin drop
As we stood there in the pew
Heads were turnin', eyes were burnin'

Momma stuck her nose in her purse
After daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

He cut the big one
It was a stinker
Then he broke the silence
With a snicker
And us kids started laughin'
'Til I thought we was all gonna burst
After daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

He said, "The devil made me do it"
Momma said it was the liverwurst
And that's why daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

 

An Old Song I Remember my Grandmother singing, when I was a child, She sang it in an Old broad Scottish Accent.

'Wans A Hid a wee Broon Hen It Hid A Wee Broon tail,
,A Sent it Fura Penny's A Snuff, It Never Came back again,
,Noo It's Deed An In It's Grave Fur Mony A Mony A Day,
,The Blussins Oan Ma Wee Broon Hen,It Never tree Back Again.


What The Hell It Meant, I Haven't A Clue .

 

Seems like Granny sent the Chicken out to score the snuff, but it did the lot itself and snuffed it

 

I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

The River by Bruce Springsteen
