Con Coleman's picture

Shameless I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue rip-off that we've probably done before, but here goes anyway.

You think you've lost your love
Well I saw her yesterday
...and she still hates your guts

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
...that's the last time I visit the Arctic without sufficient cold weather clothing

I had entered into a marriage
In the summer of my twenty-first year
...and here we are, still going strong, no complaints

1

A few more

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
And today things are still pretty good.

Billy Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says that I am the one
Well, okay, there was that city break in Bruges

What you want, baby I

What you want, baby I got.
What you need, you know I got it.
I get considerable satisfaction from working in Tesco.

Got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'till my fingers bled
Then put it on top of the wardrobe and forgot about it.

And all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Because happiness is just an illusion
And you feel your world is tumbling down
You've been watching too much X-Factor

.

Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
5 minutes off junction 8
at the Novotel.

Hello darkness, my old friend
Sodding drummer couldn't change a lighbulb again

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said "Baby, can't you see?
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen,
If you're not Max Clifford, fuck off, know worra mean?"

Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Could it be
That they, like me,
Long to shit on you?

A candy-colored clown they call Leon Kowalski
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
"Wake up, it's time to die"

Ahh_Bisto | 9 February 2011 - 2:39pm

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand

Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain.
He was angrily muttering to himself. Something about a lost Oyster Card and no Boris bikes around as usual. Endless people kept saying to him "Hello Boss. How are you. Are you looking for a good time?"

Freudian. Completely and utterly freudian.

I feel somewhat ashamed to say. Mind you, I spend more time watching grot than listening to U2 so it's not all that astonishing.

To wake you from your sleep
And make love to you
And not have you say "What the bloody hell.. What time is it? What've you got in your hand? No I bloody don't want to. Bugger off. I'm going back to sleep"

Lenny Law | 9 February 2011 - 2:52pm

I am woman, hear me roar

In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

That's lovely darling. Pour me a gin and tonic, would you?

Where do you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed?
George Clooney on a beach, like the rest of them.

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
I blame the hat made of peanuts

And one I heard on Buzzcocks:
Oh Carol, I am but a fool
So I'll have eight vowels and one consonant

Jon | 9 February 2011 - 5:37pm

Always a good game

Woke up this morning feeling fine
Now that doesn't happen often, must be the Chubby Checker effect.

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Some bastard's nicked the soft top again.

We've already said goodbye
Since you gotta go
Oh you had better go now
Or I'll get the police to enforce the restraining order.

Oh the smell of the bakery from across the street
Got in my nose
But the council won't do anything about it. Don't they know who I am? I'll sue them all.

When routine bites hard

And ambitions are low
You should probabaly get out more, find a new hobby.

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
Make me an offer.

Early one morning the sun was shining
I was laying in bed
Thumpingly hungover so I got up and made a strong coffee.

Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, I'll be watching you
Until I get hit with the restraining order.

- I don't know what it is that makes me feel alive
the fundamentals of human consciousness are so hard to pin down.
All that I can really do is restate the Cartesian maxim:
"I think therefore I am."

On the lake Geneva shoreline
Nothing much happened
Oh..Ritchie got bitten by midges

and a fighter by his trade

She rides a Brompton

I've been to a marvellous party

with these little fellas with sherbet on their bald heads

Mr Sandman, bring me a dream!

Have me chased by a monster made out of cornflakes, while my teeth fall out.
