Tortuous rhymes in songs

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Heard this one this morning,
"a little plot a, not a lotta land"
Ingenious. Any other examples spring to mind?

 

[Lofty wolf]

I love this from Billy Bragg's single "Sexuality"

" I look like Robert De Niro , I drive a Mitsubishi Zero"

 

[Boss Hogg]

Close the thread with this one from Shakira:

“Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains”

 

[JadeWolf]

Oh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

 

[Mugwump]

" Little old lady got mutilated late last night " Werewolves of London.

“I know a girl called Elsa, she’s into Alka Seltzer”

 

[topcat99]

She ain’t no witch
And I love the way she twitch.

For Gods Sake Marc, call a bloody ambulance for her!

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

"I got a Rolls Royce, cus it's good for my voice."
I suspect that Mr. Bolan is a rich source to mine.

'She was tall, thin and tarty
And she drove a Maserati'
Rod Stewart - Italian Girls

 

[nimrod]

I broke into the palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
she said I know you and you cannot sing
I said that’s nothing
you should hear me play pianner

 

[topcat99]

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

La Roux.

Who I thought was a chef. Crap

 

[topcat99]

Different angle.

Tonight there’s going to be a jailbreak,
Somewhere in the town.

Try the prison? Just a suggestion Phil

 

[nimrod]

this morning at 4.50
I took her rather nifty
down to an incubator
and thirty minutes later
she gave birth to a daughter
within a year a walker

This is a real belter BH. Humble breasts?

Always thought the Police were really struggling for a rhyme with this one...

“It’s no use, he sees her,
He starts to shake, he starts to cough,
Just like the old man in that famous book by Nabokov”.

 

[BridgnorthWolf Inc]

If you judge the book by the cover
then you judge the look by the lover
I hope you soon recover
Me, I go from one extreme to another

Wrong way round Martin!!!

"Giant steps are what you take,
Walking on the moon,
I hope my legs don't break,
Walking on the moon..."

Walking on the moon,
I hope my legs don't break,
Walking on the moon..."

Another pearler!!

"I`m a guy from Camden Town
My hair is curly but i gel it down.
My clothes are black But my bread is Brown
I`m really into early Motown"

Five Get Over Excited , The Housmartins

 

[Leominster_Wolf]

Always felt the worst ever song lyric is by SNAP in rythythm is a dancer

I'm serious as cancer when I say
"Rhythm is a dancer"

 

[JadeWolf]

She's got a cousin
In fact she's got 'bout a dozen
She's got one in the oven
But it's nothing to do with me.

I still want to know why Sammy Chung was busy Kung Fu fighting, which apparently was lightning and frightening.

The git should have been taking extra training sessions mid week

 

[Norman Bell]

But after all you're my wonder wall.

I have seen 4. 6 and 9 inch block walls, as well as rendered walls and facing brick walls but never have I seen a " Wonder wall "

trite in the extreme, means absolutely nothing!

Most of the oasis stuff is like ****e nursery rhymes

 

[Hereford Wolf]

Can't complain, mustn't grumble.
Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble

 

[Big Nosed Wolf]

'I will give you my finest hour,
The one I spent watching you shower..'

'Gonna write a classic (clearly not then)
Gonna write it in the attic.
Girl I'm an addict
An addict for your love..'

This one's always puzzled me,

'I would give anything I own,
Give up my life, my house, my home
Just to have you back again

If he gave his life then it defeats the object surely?

 

[Big Nosed Wolf]

'Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please, love me do....'

Although they were still suckling at the teat at this point and went on to give us some of the best ever.

 

[Norman Bell]

I'm down on my knees searching for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer

What a load of complete and utter codswallop !

 

[Frank Lincoln]

We've got nothing left to stay for
We had no more left to say
And there isn't any work for us to do
So farewell you boys and girls
Another bloody flight of earls.
Our best export is our best asset too.

 

[Edgmond Wolf]

Raul song

 

[JadeWolf]

We were born within an hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name was Deborah,
It never suited ya.

Great song but wtf?!

 

[Coeur de Loup]

Slightly off-topic but I've always liked the following lyrics (Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi):
'They took all the trees
And put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to see 'em'
Rhyming 'museum' and 'see 'em' - and then the Counting Crows come along and change it to 'museum' and 'see them', totally destroying the effect.

 

[Norman Bell]

I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again ( well Spandau Ballet unless you emigrated this is what normally happens )
Why do I find it hard to write the next line ( yes there are a few hints you are struggling ! )
Oh I want the truth to be said

 

[wolvesinwales]

I hope and I pray that maybe one day you'll walk in the room with my heart.

Messy.

 

[topcat99]

Not if you are like Steve Morgan and undergoing a transplant

 

[IrchyWolf]

But after all you're my wonder wall.

I have seen 4. 6 and 9 inch block walls, as well as rendered walls and facing brick walls but never have I seen a " Wonder wall "

When they were kids their parents allowed the brothers a wall of their bedroom to draw and paint on anything they liked or admired which was their Wonderwall.
Or so runs the story...

Bohemian rhapsody.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Bohemian rhapsody.

I take it, from this and other posts, that you are not a fan, Rhos. Would that be a correct assumption?

Not wrong.
