Nonsensical song lyrics....	Can't Post or Reply Privately

Let's go again to Niagra, this time we'll look at the fall
Frank Sinatra - Let's get away from it all.

Niagra is a hick town on the Canada/USA border with a few dodgy
exchange rate shops and a famed shopping mall - oh yeah and a
really massive waterfall - so why would you go there in the first
place and not see the falls?

De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da, that's all I want to say to you.
The Police - De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da

If you walked into a pub around here and said that, your next
meal would be drunk through a straw courtesy of the NHS.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.

Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell

Echo and the Bunnymen. I've never got that chorus. The rest of the song is pretentious nonsense as well.

But then there are nonsense lyrics that are there just to make things rhyme.

'She works in Marks & Spencer's
la la la Lech Walesas.'

Half Man Half Biscuit. Coincidentally (or maybe my brain subconsciously came up with it) that song also mentions Echo And The Bunny...........men.

Any of Marc Bolans lyrics were nonsical especially his early stuff in the Sixties with Tyrannasaurus Rex, always singing about Fairies and Pixies and Magical places. Man what were those Mushrooms he was on? Tongue

You mean like this?

Salamanda Palaganda
Small girl with the smiling 'gibbon

Bridled with an orchid ribbon

His curved brow in Scarlatti fashion

Boots that ride the night sky eagle

An old crone squirms upon a cushion

Made from Madras silk and satin

Her steel eyes hold a scimitar passion

For the skull hewn in Scarlatti fashion.

A cobra seer with the punctured ear

Slaughtered a Malayan sun bear

Night stood erect with brozen haunches

Zapped the seer and gave the bear back to us

Salamanda Palaganda Oh Palamino Blue

Salamanda Palaganda June's Buffalo too In the Parisian zoo.

But that's deliberately nonsensical to make the rhyme. Not quite the same as Echos drugged out nonsense. ;)

The Cure/LaMent

Today there was a tragedy
Underneath the bridge
A man walked
Cold and blue
Into La Ment
The sky coloured perfect
As the man slipped away
Waving with a last vanilla smile

Somewhere at a table
Two drowned fools
Smoking
Drinking water as they talked
Of how they loved our lady
And oh the smell as candles die

One more ice cream river body
Flowed underneath the bridge
Underneath the bridge

I haven't got a clue what they're singing about but it's a great song.

I meant to mention that HMHB do it deliberately without any art-school pretentiousness. Smile

What about the extended version of Whiter Shade Of Pale?

We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed

She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died

If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
and attacked the ocean bed

According to http://www.procolharum.com/w/w9901.htm the last two sections have only ever been done live and the order may be reversed and 'love' in the last verse replaced by 'life'.

Whichever way it is, it's still boll.......
