Genius words/lyrics

Kate Bush with a little help from JJ.


Yes first I gave him the bit of seedcake out of my mouth
And it was leap year like now yes
Sixteen years ago my God after that long kiss I near lost my breath
Yes he said I was a flower of the mountain
Yes so we are flowers all a woman's body yes
Stepping out of the page
Into the sensual world
Stepping out, off the page,
Into the sensual world
And Gibraltar as a girl where I was a Flower of the mountain
Yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used
Or shall I wear a red yes
And how he kissed me under the Moorish wall
And I thought well as well him as another
Stepping out of the page
Into the sensual world
Stepping out, off the page,
Into the sensual world
And then I asked him with my eyes to ask again
Yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower
And first I put my arms around him yes
And drew him down to me so he could feel my breath
All perfume yes and his heart was going like mad
And yes I said yes I will yes.
Ooo yes
 
How about a bit of Bonzo Dog;

I am the Big Shot
You heard me right the first time. Name of batchelor Johnny Cool. Occupation: Big Shot. Occupation at the moment: just having fun. What a party that was - the drinks were loaded and so were the dolls
I narrowed my eyes and poured a stiff Manhattan. Then I saw... Hotsie. What a dame. A big, bountiful babe in the region of 48-23-38. One hell of a region. She had the hottest lips since Hiroshima: I had to stand back for fear of being burned. Whiskey wow wow. I breathed. She was dressed as before the bed. In that kind of outfit she could get rolled at night... and I don't mean on a crap table
It's kind of revealing, isn't it? Revealing? It's positively risqu - I like it. She said: "You're a man with a thousand Gs, right?"
[J:] "A thousand what?" I quipped. "G-men, girls, guns, guts."
[H:] "You're my type."
[J:] "Wrong, baby" I slapped her hard. "I'm a `L' man: strictly liquor, love and laughs."
She stared over my shoulder: "Play it cool, Johnny." Play it what? I flipped. "Listen, I fought my way up from tough East Side New York. Lead-filled saps and sub-machine guns, like this." [gunshots]
She said: "Johnny, this is a deadly game, have a few laughs and go home." I shuddered. Normally I pack a rod in pyjamas - I carry nothing but scars from Normandy beach. I said "Wrong, baby, you can't fool me." She spat playfully. "I'm ahead of you, Johnny." I studied the swell of her enormous boobs and said: "Baby, you're so far ahead it's beautiful."
[H:] "You, you are, you are eccentric, I like that."
[J:] "Electric cheri, bounce off my rocket[?], tout comprende?" We spoke French fluently. Our lips met again and again. "Yeah, yeah yeah" I slobbered. Hotsie said: "You're slobbering all over the seat, kid."
I went home late. Very late. What could I say to my wife?
”Darling, I’ve been beaten up again”......

I challenge anyone to beat that.
 
It's a miracle/Roger Waters

Miraculous you call it babe
You ain't seen nothing yet
They've got Pepsi in the Andes
McDonalds in Tibet
Yosemite's been turned into
A golf course for the Japs
The Dead Sea is alive with rap
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
There's a leisure centre now
They've got all kinds of sports
They've got Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
A doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free
It's a miracle
Another Miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle
We've got warehouses of butter
We've got oceans of wine
We've got famine when we need it
Got designer crime
We've got Mercedes
We've got Porsche
Ferrari and Rolls Royce
We've got choice
She said meet me
In the Garden of Gethsemene my dear
The Lord said Peter I can see
Your house from here
An honest family man
Finally reaped what he had sown
A farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan
It's a miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle
We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theater
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his fucking fingers
It's a miracle
 
Or some 10cc

une nuit a Paris


Part One: One Night in Paris]
[Mme. Bezier:] Bonjour monsieur
Paris really welcomes you
It's the best room in the house
It's forty francs a night, alright.

[Touriste:] It's crazy, it isn't worth a centime
I'll take it!
[Mme. Bezier:] Merci Monsieur
[Offstage Chorus:] Rouged lips in the gaslight
A great view of the hall
That's the way the croissant crumbles after all
[Narrator:] Paris is only one step away
Les girls are out on bail
Tres bien there's love for sale
[Coquette:] Oh my cheri, wish you were mine
And I'll show you a wonderful time
For the price of a cheap champagne
I'll show it you once again
[Voice of the Streets:] One night in Paris
Is like a year in any other place
One night in Paris
Will wipe the smile off your pretty face
One girl in Paris
Is like loving every woman
One night in Paris
One night in Paris
One night in Paris
May be your last!!!

[Part Two: The Same Night in Paris]
[Hustlers (1 to 5):] Is he gonna buy?
[1.Offstage:] You wanna little culture?
[Hustlers:] Is he gonna pay?
[2.Offstage:] Maybe Monsieur is into photographs, Non?
[Hustlers:] Or is he gonna fall in love
The all American way?
[3.Offstage:] I got a watch wiz a beautiful Swiss movement
[Hustlers:] Is he gonna buy?
[4.Offstage:] Forget the watch, I'll show you a good time!
[Hustlers:] Is he gonna pay?
[5.Offstage:] Le connoisseur, want something different?
[Hustlers:] Or is he gonna fall in love
The all American way?
[Everyone:] Oh you know you ain't no Casanova
You can't even do the Bossa Nova
Or the Tango or the Samba!
[Chinese Tarts:] Though you are so very charming
No you ain't no Casanova
[Hustlers:] Is he gonna buy?
Is he gonna pay?
Or is he gonna fall in love
The all American way?
Sometimes I think he will
But then again....
[Voices of the Streets:] One night in Paris
Is like a year in any other place!
One night in Paris
Will wipe the smile off your pretty face!
Try a girl in Paris
But try one of mine
Each night in Paris
Each night in Paris
Each night in Paris
Each night in Paris
May be your last!!!

[Part Three: Later the same night in Paris]
[Coquette's Girls:] Forty-Two, Quarante-Deux
Rue de Saint Jacques
All our girls are how you say
Good in the sack
[Coquette:] I was a stripper
On the Champs Elysees
He was a gendarme
In the gendarmerie
[Girls:] Going Oh La La La
Oh La La La La
[Coquette:] He was a pimp
In a black beret
But he was an artiste
In his own way
[Girls:] Going Oh La La La
Oh La La La La
[Coquette:] When they raided my club that night
They ruined my act with the leather umbrella
the Chief de Police got a fright
He was up in my boudoir with some other fella
[Club Clientelle:] It's only routine
But I got this feeling
It ain't good for business
[Narrator:] Then the floor cleared
A woman screamed to herself
[Henri's Lover:] Henri...Though you're not the toast of Paris
I love you, although you bed and beat me
Henri, leave it alone,
For the gendarme's just doing his job
[Narrator:] Paris is only one step away
[Chorus:] Murder is only one step away
[Everyone:] Notre Dame is ringing her bells
Another gendarme has gone to Hell
Notre Dame is ringing her bells
Another gendarme has gone to Hell
gone to Hell
gone to Hell
gone to Hell
[Whole Cast:] One night in Paris
Is like a year in any other place
One night in Paris
Will wipe the smile off your pretty face
One girl in Paris
Is like loving every woman
This night in Paris
This night in Paris
This night in Paris
This night in Paris
May be your last!!!
 
This is lyrical genius personified. Seen the band DILE twice fronted by an old pal Denis Mathews. Also did a brilliant track called 'Werewolf in Hattersley Town'

In Garstang/DILE

Garstang, sleepy Northern town
Place where nothing happens, so they say
But those in the know will tell you
There's a more sinister side
To Garstang

Tupac Shakur the rap singer
Was born and killed in Garstang
He was shot dead outside Popeye's kebab takeaway
One Friday night
In Garstang

He's buried in Garstang cemetery
Next to George Formby
Ukulele player and TT rider
Who it didn't turn out nice again for
In Garstang

In Garstang
In Garstang
In Garstang
In Gaaaarstaaaang

Brawl on the streets, of Garstang
He walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Saddam Hussein
who was walking his two King Charles spaniels
In Garstang

The Black Plague was started in Garstang
It was started by a Martin Connor who played Arnold
just off his sitcom Diff'rent Strokes
Who lived in a bed-sit with his mother on the high street
In Garstang

In Garstang
In Garstang
In Garstang
In Gaaaarstaaaang

Al-Qaeda supporter ... goes on family holidays, in Garstang
He stays in five-star hotels with swimming pools
All paid for by the DHSS

In the same old town Martin Bashir interviews pop singer Michael Jackson
About his fascination with children
All these things and more sinister besides happen every day for the people
who live there

In Garstang
In Garstang
In Garstang
In Gaaaarstaaaang

Tupac Shakur the rap singer
Was born and killed in Garstang
He was shot dead outside Popeye's kebab takeaway
One Friday night

He's buried in Garstang cemetery
Next to George Formby
Ukulele player and TT rider
Who it didn't turn out nice again for
In Garstang

In Garstang
In Garstang
In Garstang
In Gaaaarstaaaang

In Garstang
In Garstang
In Garstang
In Gaaaarstaaaang
