"Catalina" by the Descendents
you can't tell me what to do
you can't make me think i love you
shoot it in the arm, you can't hurt me
i'm on my way to catalina
and i'm not going to read your books
my tank's full of squid and it's getting light
and you whores, you can't make me want 'cause i got all the rest i need on the deck of my boat
and you can't take my heart when i'm here
'cause it's a long swim home for your cute little arms
you can't tell me what to do
you can't make me think i love you
shoot it in the arm, you can't hurt me
i'm on my way to catalina
and i'm not going to read your books
my tank's full of squid and it's getting light
and you whores, you can't make me want 'cause i got all the rest i need on the deck of my boat
and you can't take my heart when i'm here
'cause it's a long swim home for your cute little arms

someone said something about whole lyrics 
I love this song - well worth searching out: Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Comely from In the Aeroplane over the Sea
one of the most movingly haunting tunes ever - the music is sublime too
Oh Comely
Oh comely
I will be with you when you lose your breath
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left
With some pretty bright and bubbly terrible scene
That was doing her thing on your chest
But oh comely
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In your memory
You're drunk on your automy
It doesn't mean anything at all
Oh comely
All of your friends are letting you blow
Bristling and ugly
Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
Of some pretty bright and bubbly friend
You could need to say comforting things in your ear
But oh comely
There isn't such one friend that you could find here
Standing next to me
He's only my enemy
I'll crush him with everything I own
Say what you want to say
And hang for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle for me
Your father made fetuses
With flesh licking ladies
While you and your mother
Were asleep in the trailer park
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
And pluck all your silly strings
And bend all your notes for me
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
The movements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
Smelling of semen all under the garden
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me
Say what you want to say
And hang for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle for me
And I know they buried her body with others
Her sister and mother and 500 families
And will she remember me 50 years later
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine
Know all your enemies
We know who are enemies are
Know all your enemies
We know who are enemies are
Goldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
Place your body here
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine

Belle and Sebastian - The State I am in - classic verse 
"I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported
Now she’s in love
I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches
From my crippled friend
She was not impressed that I cured her on the sabbath
So I went to confess
When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride
To whisky and gin"

and before I forget, there's also Billy Bragg...
"I look like Robert de Niro,
I drive a Mitsubishi Zero"
"I had an uncle who once played
for Red Star Belgrade"
great stuff
(it's actually not quite as banal as would seem when taken out of context)-

Its a widely unknown fact that techno was discovered in my basement in 1981, whilst I was mucking about with a bandmates Mono-Poly. At the time, I only lived a few miles from Belleville, Michigan, home of Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson. I'm pretty sure they had some kind of spy network that alerted them to my discovery, or they were visiting neighbors and heard the ruckus...in any event the rest is history.CypherOne wrote:The Birthplace of Techno
are you from Swindon then?
edit: love the Billy Bragg quote, I had forgotten that one. BB also did the best Madonna cover ever
And all life's fears
Can invade my ears
I can handle it
Can invade my ears
