Born Slippy is a F*ckin fantastic song.
To get me dancing it has to be...
The Levellers-Riverflow
I met you in 82, over a crate of beer and not a few
I cracked a can and so did you, we're gonna change the world
The ghetto Kings of downside town-the estates and parks of our hallowed ground
Doing anything that we found, and on the river flowed
You'd take a drink from the Rev. Jimmy Jones
You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams
Thrown aside and left to waste, that was you-you knew your place
Wander round, get off your face, and on the river flowed
On and on the riverflow-we the undertow CHORUS
On and on the riverflow-we the undertow
I don't know how you made it through all the smoke and brew you do
It sure has left its mark on you, but you're still with us today
Life goes onand round we go and words can kill these things I know
Sometimes you cut me deeply so, but on the river flows
You'd set the table for the barber Sweeney Todd
You'd clip the wings of any rising god
But man can't live on hope alone, it can be cut, all that is grown
Broke your spirit but not your bones, and on the the river flows
CHORUS
You're working now-forced to the race
I know it left a bitter taste
But the rising tide has covered your face
Nothing you can do
But I still remember the day you said
That river flowing through my head
Would take me far or leave me dead
And all you said was true.
OR My Baby is a Headf*ck-The Wildhearts
"Gee mister you got the best answering machine message I ever heard"
drags me round all day just like a ball
on a chain or a tooth pain when I confess...
I'm just a mess
do I have to take this shit from you every time I
look your way or say "HEY! it's about time
you show me yours and I'll show you mine"
and I hope you can keep that turd eating grin of yours
upon your face when you find that you're thrown to one side
'cos no-one likes a rotten roller coaster ride
CHORUS:
'cos she's the kind of girl who'll take your heart
and leave you feeling worse than you did at the start
'cos she's a headf*ck, my baby is a headf*ck
in a bygone age engaged in the passion trip
a final score was required just to make it worthwhile
all the patience and the wasted time
for it seems today the play [did mutate into] a movie scene
where the aim is to get the best line
crashing heads for the second time
CHORUS:
'cos she's the kind of girl who'll break your mind
and make an easy meal of the sensitive kind
'cos she's a headf*ck, my baby is a headf*ck
(oh no... day tripper, yeah)
(doo... wop-wop a-oo...)
so a parting word to those young unfortunates who
cannot get to sleep 'til one little snake uncurls
raise a glass to the Underworld!
(doo... wop-wop a...)
you can try all week and still keep on waiting
it's a messed up, stressed out, loss situation where pearls
end up changing into headf*ck girls
CHORUS:
'cos she's the kind of girl who'll steal your smile
and chuck it over there on the rest of the pile
'cos she's a headf*ck, my baby is a headf*ck (x3)
headf*ck me!
(head f*ck (x10))
(...nice knowing...)
