I've jumped around: doing what songs have commanded you to do
Posted by danieldiver on 22 April 2009 - 12:53am.
I've beaten it.
I've expressed myself.
I've jumped around.
I've let go.
I've thought twice.
I've gotten into the groove, though not without restraint.
I've moved my body.
...And you, what have you done?

I shot a man
Just to watch him die.
(If m'learned frends are reading, I'm only saying it for effect).
I've also put it there, though it weighed a ton.
It's OK
I shot the sheriff (but his deputy escaped unharmed).
I also got down on it (but had trouble getting up again).
I've..
..done it to death.
and, as instructed by Ms Boo...
I've done if to def
I've done it
In the road.
I got down with my bad self.
I got down with my bad self. Apparently.
And then I got up offa that thing.
I been warped by the rain
driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty dontcha know
I've done anything
I wanted to do
Excuse me for being so negative,
but, personally speaking, I haven't thought twice.
It was alright.
(NB Neither have I stopped thinking about tomorrow. Guess when it arrived?)
I freed my mind
And now my "ass" won't stop following me around.
I rescued a plump and balding man
from horrific burns by not allowing the sun to descend on him.
That's a bit hard on Nik Kershaw.
Or has he changed since I last saw him?
I've sat down.
Got
back.
I Have Fought for my Right
to Party
And partied...
...for my right to fight.
I've done anything for love
But I haven't done that.
I've been to Paradise
but I've yet to visit 'me' (I don't think I'd like the food).
I bought a ticket to the world
And then I came back again. Yes, thats right, I live on Saturn.
And
wondered why I found it so hard to write the next line.
I have, 'erm
Fucked the Police???
So tell us
Can Sting *really* do it for hours at a time?
No idea
He was Da Bitch (ahem)
I kept the customer satisfied
Oh yes.
From the Fabs
I hid my love away and carried that weight, cried baby cried, told you why, and then helped, looked up the number, didn't pass you by, just acted naturally so we did it in the road, and came together, so I loved you, pleased you, but didn't do that.
Sorry but
It´s all too much for me to take, but I think for myself and never gave you my money. Instant karma did get me. Did I amaze you with the way I love you all the time?
I fought the law
but was not victorious
I've wiggled it
but just a little bit
I've taken a very sweaty African American chap to the bridge
though why me keeps calling me Bobby I don't know.
If I were you
I'd give it up. And while you're at it you might consider turning it a-loose.
I've done everything for you
but (apparently) you done nothing for me.
I've
wah-diddy-diddy-dum-diddy-done.
Whilst, for good effect, snapping my fingers and shuffling my feet
After extensive foot evaluation
I've got on my good one
got down on
it
I rocked the casbah
then I stood and delivered (whoa-oo-whoa)
Based on the recommendation
of representatives for several trades and ethnic groups, I have stayed at the YMCA (it was worth it) and subsequently joined the navy.
Then, presumably, you went west
(where the air is clear)
Following the advice of the Specials
I did nothing
But then Eddie and his Hot Rods had a word with me so I did anything I wanted to do
i did that
an hour or so ago^^. Quite liked it. MIght go back (Jack) 'n' do it again.
I was going to Fleetwood Mac
but then I decided I'd rather Jack
Got sick, got well
Hung around the inkwell etc,etc.
Oooo good one! :-)
I love to love
but I'm starting to think this relationship isn't going anywhere because, well, unfortunately, my baby just wants to dance.
I took
off my pants and jacket, but not in that order.
Did you leave
your hat on?
Oh
yes.
I'd just like to point out
that I was nowhere near Mr Jagger's cloud, and hence, could not get off of it.
I've done nothing
... but last night, I caught my pussy doing the dog.
None of us can look each other in the eye yet.
Hammertime
I couldn`t touch that
I've
kept my nose clean
my head above water
kept my feet on the ground
kept my hands off his daughter
kept my back to the wind
kept my thoughts to myself
kept an eye on the clock
and an eye on my health
kept up with the times
kept up with the Jones
kept up with the rest of my class
kept an open mind
kept off the grass
apologies to Todd Snider.
I woke up this morning
Er, that's it.
In hindsight, it was a mistake
but I brought my daughter to the slaughter.
But did you
keep your boots on when dying? I passed by being quick rather than dead.
I...
wanted to sex you up
talked about sex baby
pushed it, pushed it real good
Because I'm scared of Liam Gallagher
I rolled with it, took my time, said what I said and didn't let anybody get in my way.
He told me I was thus obligated.
Good for you
But did you do any preparation for his reputation? And even more importantly: did you tell it to the man who lives in hell?
I stood aside and was denied, so I can´t help you.
yes yes yes, but on reflection
looking back, do you feel anger about this carry-on?
I passed the duchie
but it was to the right if I remember correctly.
I remembered finding out about you
Every day my mind was all around you
And I also can't get off my high horse and I can't let you go. You were the one who made me feel so real.
And don't you forget it
I took good care of somebody's baby
And then I took a message to Mary.
I f-f-faded away when this curly-haired bloke was talking about his generation.
Then I got back to where I once came from.
I've known my enemy.
I've gotten up offa that thing.
I've freed Nelson Mandella.
Free Nelson Mandela
You mean it was an instruction? I always assumed it was a special offer
Reminds me of a great Family Guy moment
where Peter's at a Free Tibet march.
"Free Tibet? I'll take it!"
*runs to phone box*
"Hello? China? I've got something you might want but it's gonna cost you. That's right... all the tea..."
I
called you Al.
I gave gave gave the blonde in Abba
A man after midnight. Need to rest now.
No, No, No
You still need to "Do" Anni-Frid
Give the Norwegian wood?
I do? I do! I do! I do! I do! I DO! I will take a chance on her, but don´t know if there will be time nor energy for dancing or walking. But if I change my mind she claims she will be the first in line, she´s still free. Altough I can´t hear the SOS.
Whoever came up with this thread should be banned from the forum. I HAVE WORK TO DO, YOU BASTARD!
PS. Sorry about the head line DS.
I am still wearing my hat
but very little else.
Naughtyical
I frigged in the rigging.
Nowt´else to do
I lived in a box
Cardboard box.
Damn thing got recycled, I'm fighing my way out of 175 toilet rolls at the moment
I
put a message in that box, put the box in my car and I'm still driving it around the world.
Are you sure?
Looks like Steerpike set off with the boxed message in the early hours :-)
I did 'kov Earl'
Ah
I get it now. Nice.
and 'kov stratosfear?
-
I gyrated
to the music of Chubby Checker whilst yelling
as instructed by young Mr Lennon
A sordid tale
I relaxed and didn't do it when I went to suck to it then I slid away but only after I'd done the doo (and the hustle) but I stood by you. Then I did it again.
Dame
I have Never let David Bowie down.
ELOh dear me
And I didn't *bring* Jeff Lynne down either
I knew my rights
all 3 of them.
And, following the advice of X Moore, I kicked over the statues. Hence, knowing my rights was invaluable.
Thirdly, I have gone my own way.
I've said it loud
and I've said it proud.
I've also done a funky gibbon. God help me.
Well
I've done the Strand and the Stanley.
Bow wow wowed
I saw jungle! Saw jungle! I went and joined my gang, yeah? City all over!
I went ape crazy, if the truth be told.
Everyone's gone to the moon
..but somehow I missed out. Me and that bloke who lives on Saturn.
Living on Saturn
he's spoilt for choice: sixty-one moons at the last count...
Despite John Martyn's kind offer
I decided not to Never after all.
I got out of Denver
-
There was a fuck in Dodge
And I got it out.
I took the long way home
-
Told you lies,
told you sweet little lies.
I told you
On a Sunday. And I told you why I cried and, indeed, why I also lied to you.
After that I went and told it on the mountain.
Ah but
I told you that I'm never gonna leave you, told you that I'm always going to love you, and what's more I told you right now.
You've already admitted you lied
But I told the truth and told Laura you loved her.
I released you
following your pleading
Stopped sobbing
-
I took the last train to Clarksville
this is shortly, after having got out of Denver
On a jet plane
no doubt?
Walked right back
and woke up little Susie
Ooh she was livid
I walked on by
and pretended I didn't see the tears and left you to grieve in private
I am gonna love you
come rain or come shine
I took a letter (I'm Maria - his secretary)
-
Alert Colin H
We've found another girl!
I...
...am not convinced that we have!
Are you
suggesting he's an impostor? He's brought his own pills and soap. Very girly...
Yes
and I'll be a woman soon
I've entered a sandman
In a sandman competition, I'm relieved to say.
Hmmm it's lunchtime so don't expect much...
I answered the phone, it was London calling.
I started.
I spoke like a child and shouted from the top.
I called the fire brigade (once I got London off the line) because Babylon was burning.
And finally, to answer your question: I'm me. There's no need to swear.
I walked out to winter
But I came in pretty quickly because it was cold.
And no I don't want you. And don't call me baby.
Oh, and hello Lionel. No, I'm looking for somebody else.
Don’t know about everybody else in the house
but I’m going to “wang chung” tonight
I went and said goodbye,
then since I couldn't be with the one I loved, I loved the one I'm with.
Couldn't Cairo less
I walked like an Egyptian
I am the walrus...
...well, actually no, I lied there. But I AM... Living In The Past.
I held my body against you
well, you did say it was beautiful. You saucy minx.
Well you swore I was an angel
but treated me like the devil last night
tracks, waxed...
As instructed by Mr. A. Ant, I proceeded to put some wax on the tracks, and did indeed slide on out. Of here.
I take good advice whenever it's offered, ever since that time I tried to do it without my Fez on.
I inserted
30 cents more for the next three minutes.
Waste of bloody money - the silly old witch still wouldn't let me talk to her daughter.
Oh and then
I woke up and made love to Ian Dury.
I was rather depressed at Finchley Central at 00:00
yes I was down in the tube station at midnight.
(drum roll - cymbal crash)
I tried to stop the cavalry
and I've the hoofmarks to prove it.
Easy
Well, I've taken it easy, gone down easy, and taken it easy on myself. like taking candy..
I feel grubby
I'm still hanging onto what we've got. It's starting to get sweaty to be frank.
And as for Kevin Rowland's orders: I'm really not sure this is the time and place for it. Eileen will never forgive you.
I have
swung it, shaken it, moved it, made it, trusted it, used it, proved it and grooved it.
But did I find out who I thought I was? No.
That's the last time I go to the Spice Girls for enlightenment.
I didn't bring you down
and my name is NOT Bruce.
I have hit you
with my rhythm stick
I did the watusi...
...like my little Lucy
I bent down
when Elton was around.
Anybody got a cushion?
I can see for miles
and I walked the line and maybe I'm amazed that I'm still standing.
I have...
taken on Morten Harket.
I've made lots of money with Neil Tennant, then left him to his own devices, after telling him I loved him (I'm afraid I was very drunk), and than on reflection, I'm afraid I couldn't forgive her.
Since I had everything now, I let Mozzer get what he wanted, then I stopped him, because I'd heard it before. After he went solo I proceeded to find out for myself, hold onto my friends, ignore him (regardless if his proximity), do my best and not worry, let him kiss me, and finally I killed him, because all I needed was he.
I've also Done It Now and Said It Now more times than I can remember. Those Hot Chip boys are very demanding.
I've done the Mash
I've done the Monster Mash. Went down well in the cemetery, I can tell you.
And I've done the hucklebuck. Not so popular with dead folk that. Not too popular with live ones either, actually.
I stood..
In the place where I live, then faced north and thought about direction, wondering why I hadn't before. Then I stood in the place where I work, faced west & thought about direction. Forgetting I'd previously thought about direction, I wondered why I hadn't before.
You
win.
I lost my religion
Atheists rock dude!
I wrote for luck...
... and the same to you all
Simple Stipe says
I didn't go back to Rockville. I wasted another year. I let you in. I drove. I accelerated and I found the river. I talked about the passion then I fell on you. I got up. I stood. I walked unafraid. I left. I disappeared.
Are you the one
that counted my eyelashes?
Hey,
You look happy. What a smile! You come far?
Here, have some of my water.
I KNOW you love to love me.
Yes, I am alone.
I looked...
to the left as the Captain said. Buggered if I saw a falling star tho'.
I have strolled the merry way...
... and jumped the hedges first, then drank clear, clean water for to quench my thirst prior to watching the ferry boats getting high on a bluer ocean against tomorrows sky, without growing old again, after walking and talking in gardens all misty wet, misty wet, with rain.
It was nice. I may do it again.
I've been everywhere
but I won't go back to Clarksville
or rockville
It was late when I took the last train so I got them mixed up
or rockville
It was late when I took the last train so I got them mixed up
I thought twice ..
and it was alright with me
Very Good
as in very very
Fate
Was up against my will so I waited until I gave myself to him
I learned to work...
... the saxophone, played just what I felt like, drank Scotch whisky all night long, and died behind the wheel. Alas.
but
did you do it again?
I Have Shagged
"I stood in the corner all alone watchin' em do the drag
When the queen of the Hop came up to me
and asked me if i knew how to shag"
"She said come on man let's burn up the floor
The Shag is easy to do
She showed me how and in no time at all
I was Shagging too"
I
saw you, i felt you, I touched you. Now please stop looking at me.
I Fucked Off
Because Baby,Baby,Baby I did not want to fuck Wayne County. Or Jayne county either.
I can't believe
that not a single member of the word massive has rolled with it, lived forever, brought it on down, slid away, cast no shadow, gone and let it out, stopped crying their heart out, or not looked back in anger. I guess we just didn't know what they mean.
Still, I guess we're all Here Now.
EDIT: er, actually it seems quite a lot of you have. Oops.
I have...
...done the strand, when I felt love.
The Wife was not at all happy.
I took the ribbon from my hair....
...shook it loose and let it fall....and I helped him or her make it through the night.
I ran... I ran so far away
there must have been, oh, 50 ways to leave my lover; but running, running so far away proved jolly effective, so I stopped at that. I ran all night and day, though. Bloody exhausting.
I've only just made it to this thread
as I've been too busy thinkin' 'bout my baby that I ain't got time for nothin' else
I have
been on a journey with Jim Kerr
Done done done done done (Heartbreaker)
De dah dah dah
Calm down, Sting, I'm de-do-do-doing it right now.
I've
had it (Aimee Mann)
I took a walk on the wild side
...and I didn't pass you by.
I never
forgot about Jim Kerr.
Nor did I forget to remember you.
And Frank Ifield remembers me!
What good memories we have.
Good job they are made of that, I would say.
I've been around the world
But I, I, I, I can't find my baby.
that happened to me, too
So I fucked the pain away.
I took the money...
....then I ran.
Honey Don't
I didn't stop believing
I didn't dream it was over
I didn't give up
I didn't worry baby
and I certainly never gave up on a good thing.
I, and I quote:
fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did
I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
I fooled around, fell in love
I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did.
I put the message in the box...
... put the box into the car and drove the car around the world.
I have never met Napoleon
but I plan to find the time
Brilliant...
!
I drove a stolen car
down on Eldridge Avenue. It was a pitch black night and I told myself it was going to be alright.
This was sometime after I had met that girl and settled down in a litle house out on the edge of town.
I have
shaken my tail-feather.
really!
!
I forgot to remember to forget her
I can't seem to get her off my mind
I thought I'd never miss her, but I found out somehow
I think about her almost all the time
I quit my job down at the car wash
left my mamma a goodbye note
I went there and back
just to see how far it was
And you, you tried to tell me
But I had to learn for myself
I have definitely seen a bad moon rising
so there is, I would vouchsafe, trouble on the way
Mark my words, one eye will be taken for an eye before we're through.
However,
I must add that I have never been followed by any sort of moonshadow whatsoever.
My sister was carried away by a moonlight shadow once
Mike Oldfield's the name - for the purpose of this "joke".
But
... had you ever seen the rain, fallin' down again?
more than once
have I went to bed sans several digits and a palm to get a grip of
legless is one thing, handless another
Well I woke up this morning...
... you can work out the next bit for yourself but the news ain't good.
I got it on with Marvin Gaye
(well, you would have too, he was pretty persuasive, he kept insisting what we were doing was right, that there was nothing wrong with him loving me, and I was half asleep anyway)
hey, this is addictive! damn!
I...
...found Freddy somebody to love. Then put on my red shoes. And danced the blues.
I wanted you
Mainly because she was so heavy. Obesist I know, but I'm very shallow
I told everybody
that this was my song.
So I thought it was a bit unfair of Elton to sue me - he definitely said he wouldn't mind.
who ...
...Is Jim Kerr?
Juan's brother
.
and..
Joe's it seems :)
It's an old joke
In the original it was the name of his & Patsy Kensit's kid. He is/was the singer from Simple Minds btw.
yeah...
...it was a failure on my part to play on "Don't you (forget about me)" song.
They were known in Scotland as
An Erse and Patsy Kens it.
I have
- done the funky robot
- done the funky chicken
- played that funky music (white boy), rather odd experience for an Indian bloke
- been to paradise, but I've never been to me (always seems to be shut)
- been here, and I've been there, and I've been f------ everywhere. So what?
- been cheated, been mistreated. When will I be loved(sniff)?
Also, I'm on the top of the world, looking down on Creation. And feeling slightly giddy.
surely
some of us have descended from the loft sans ladder, revolved then went out and picked Q-tip material?
Nope
I'm going to need a clue - feeling a bit dense this evening.
jumped down...
turned around...
no more clues were available as we were going to press
Okay
I've picked it up now. Took me all day, though.
I stopped in the Name of Love
Put myself in Your Place
Shopped Around
Reached out, but were you there?
Got Ready
Went Up the Ladder to the Roof
and I did not mess with Bill
has anyone
taken Tenacious D's advice on the horizontal arts?
Completely
but with discretion
With a soprano voice, mam
I woke up this morning, got myself a gun, my mother always said I´d be the chosen one.
Then I was brutally shot by that guy from E Street.
I got out of bed at half past ten
and phoned up a friend who's a party animal. He didn't answer. Think he'd been out late the night before.
Come on Everybody
Now I'm completely exhausted.
Attention potential Reaper fearers
Don't!
More cowbell!
.... sorry, it's a reflex.
As instructed by the man...
I declined to give James Brown anything, as quite clearly he was capable of opening up the door and getting it himself.
And, as per Petula Clark...
I have never knowingly slept in any form of underground public transit, nor stood in the rain while it poured. Sound advice there, Pet.
I'm happy to....
Go to the mirror, even smash the mirror, but i draw the line at fiddling about!
I threw a brick through Bono's window...
... it was tremendously satisfying
I know I knew you
but you never knew me
The nasty boogie bugs me
I blamed it on the boogie, when actually scrubbing the bath a little too enthusiastically was what did my back in.
I touched Lembit Opik's ex girlfriend's bum
I was initially quite shy about the prospect,but after her reassurance....
What I did in my summer holidays
...said hello, waved goodbye
rode a white horse
moved to Memphis
proved all night
(that I could)
dream baby dream.
Then I
woke up
opened my heart
said a little prayer
painted a vulgar picture, and
ate myself fitter.
And then I
boogied with Stu
told him when his light turned green
brought on the dancing horses
fed the enemy, and
watched my step.
And I liked - no, loved - a rolling stone.
NO-ONE WAS IMPRESSED.
Ah well.
don't know if I should reveal this but...
I got someone narcotized (sic) and then fornicated with them, on permanently frosty ground
it was as tawdry as it sounds
I wonder if Trudie Styler..
was an N.W.A. fan
I walked slowly down the hall
And overtook a cannonball
I wanted to tell you a story
About a woman I know
I got chocolate stains on my pants...
My father went crazy
I didn't mind the rain, smiled to hide the pain
But was so down that I took the Fife circle to Dunfermline via Lochgelly
We made jam in Joe's garage
A' the local lassies would come around and dance, like
I went round again
Sadly I couldn't turn back the hands of time.
I worked my way back to you, babe
And the Bisodol is really helping with the internal burning.
