Oh well I am a radiohead fan so I have millions of morbid and depressing lyrics to choose from which I won't depress you with now. Sometimes they do seem quite apt when you read about some of the galloping psychopaths who seem to walking our streets at will.

Not a lyric of theirs as such, but a slogan I saw on a Radiohead T-Shirt a few years ago;

"Some people look neither forwards nor backwards. They seek neither truth nor lies. They stare at the television."

Just about sums up perfectly the Heat-reading, reality TV-fixated muppets of this world.

Oh, and I nearly forgot a particular favourite of mine from Maximo Park's "Our Velocity", which seems very apt for the MTBers and 'cross riders amongst us;

"I'm not a man, I'm a machine; chisel me down until I am clean"

"Lipsticked, and Calloused, in Fishnets, with Mallace"

So many Tom Waits Lyrics its hard to choose, but "as he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes, marmalade thighs and scrambled yellow hair" is as good as Dylan Thomas at his best

"Ill never forget the first time I met her. That September morning was clear and fresh. The way she smiled, and laughted at my jokes and the way she rubbed herself against the edge of my desk..............................

".......................But I never made the first team I just made the first team laugh, and she never came to the phone, she was always in the bath. In the end it took me a dictionary to find out the meaning of unrequited, while she was giving herself for free, in a party to which I was never Invited"-- God bless im.

Had a love affair with Sheena
In the back of my Cortina
A seasoned up hyena
Could not have benn more obscener

She took me to the cleaners
And other misdemeaners
But I got right up between her
Rum and Ribena

Ian Dury and the Blockheads

' A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
in our old familar place
You and I - Face to Face

A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends on your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian restaurant......'

Buy the lady a drink
And nobody knows my name
Bodies float up
From the bottom of the river
Like bubbles in fine champagne

BSP also name-checked the Carlton Corsair in "No Lucifer" - possibly the first hand-built British bike to get a mention in song since Half Man Half Biscuit's "Lilac Harry Quinn"?

Too many to actually count, a big part of a "good" song for me is the lyrics, so I'll just give you a few of my faves.

"Baby, I'm yours
And I'll be yours until two and two is three,
Yours until the mountain crumbles to the sea
In other words, until eternity"

"There's only music, so that there's new ringtones "
Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

"God only knows what I'd be without you"
Beach Boys - God Only Knows

"don't you be wastin' all your money
on syrup and honey because i'm sweet enough"
Duffy - Syrup & Honey

"Hello, I've waited here for you.....everlong"
Foo Fighters - Everlong

"I know how it sounds but believe me
If I don't know how to be Teach me"
Kano - This Is The Girl

"It was only a kiss how did it end up like this?"
The Killers - Mr Brightside

"'Cos I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cos I want nothing more than to sit
Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing"
Lifehouse - Breathing

"19. you're only 19 for God's sake,
Oh, you don't need a boyfriend."
The Long Blondes - Once and Never Again

"And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me"

With or without you"

"the ladies bra, the ladies bra, the ladies knickers and the ladies bra".. - Jonny Trunk & Wisbey.

Lmfao.

eyes like marbles

got to be the Cavester

Back on the street I saw a great big smiling sun
It was a Good day and an Evil day and all was bright and new
And it seemed to me that most destruction was beeing done
By those who could not choose between the two

Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones
The streets groan with little Caesars, Napoleons and c*nts
With their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones
Counting on their fingers with crumbs down their fronts

takethehighroad

I forgot one!!!

"Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone"

Savge Garden - Crash and Burn

Its time to get things started on the muppet show tonight!""

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving,
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may,
Just as hate knows love's the cure,
You can rest your mind assured,
That I'll be loving you always.

There's nothing else but you and her,
And how you spend your time......
