Why? Because I'm bored...

Its the sad eyed goodbye
Yesterdays moments I remember
Its the bleak street, week kneed partings I recall
Its the mistier mists, the hazier days
The brighter sun and the easier lays
Theres all the more reason for laughing and crying
When you're younger and life isnt too hard at all

[G.Wood]

Did your dog die?

[Zat]

Nah, I'm just bored and stumbled across that song on youtube.

[tac]

Zatty in liking queen shock . . . .

My, brother, knows, Karl Marx,
He met him eating mushrooms in the peoples park,
He said 'What do you think about my manifesto?'
'I like a manifesto, put it to the test-o.'

Took it straight down to meet the anarchist's party.
I met a groovy guy, he was arty farty,
He said 'I know a little latin man a cus man a kai'
I said 'I don't know what it means' he said 'neither do I'

Eat natural foods, bathe twice daily,
Fill your nostrils up with gravy.
Don't drink tea and don't drink coffee.
Cover your chin in yorkshire toffee.

[Zat]

Doctor doctor!
I'm in bed
Achin' head
Gold is lead
Choke on bread
Underfed
Gold is lead
Jesus bled
Pain is red
Are goon
Grow go
Greasy spoon
You swoon
June bloom

Music seems to help the pain
Seems to cultivate the brain.
Doctor kindly tell your wife that
I'm alive - flowers thrive

Jay, I'm getting a 'We're sorry, this video is no longer available.' message from Youtube.

[Invader Zim]

When the wind picked up, and the fire spread
And the grapevines seemed they where left for dead.
And the northern sky, like the end of day, the end of days.

A wake up call to a rented room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom.
To warn us it's only a matter of time, before we all burn.

[Zat]

Death Cab For Cutie, excellent.

[Hass]

This is only an excerpt but surely it means the contest is over?

Expert texpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide.
I'm crying.

Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
Coo coo kachoo ka coo coo kachoo

[tac]

Dunno, Hass . . .

Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band

And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon

And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night,

Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw
a gap but figured he'd be all right

Beatles lyrics?

Not altogether obscure you could argue!

Beatles lyrics?

It's obscure lyrics, not obscure artists.

If those words had been penned by Fred Bloggs of Smithsville I doubt they'd be considered anything but obscure.

Mind you, it all depends on whether your definition of obscure is "not clear" or "of no distinction".

Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat etc...

I must say, the Boss does put in a good claim.

Its the sad eyed goodbye
Yesterdays moments I remember
Its the bleak street, week kneed partings I recall
Its the mistier mists, the hazier days
The brighter sun and the easier lays
Theres all the more reason for laughing and crying

jeez, you found a queen song I didn't know. Day at the Races is one of the only albums I don't have. Like it though. Roger's songs always appeal.

Indeed, and they'd be even more obscure if Manfred Mann didn't decide to fark that song up all the way to No. 1 . . .
