Obscure Lyrics

"Mars Volta - Son Et Lumiere"

 

Clipside of the pinkeye flight

I'm not the percent you think survives

I need sanctuary in the pages of this book

Gestating with all the other rats

Nurse said that my skin will need a graft

I am of pockmarked shapes

The vermin you need to loathe

try to make sense of this crap from "Try, Try, Try" by The Smashing Pumpkins...well, all of MACHINA is messed up lyrically, here's a little piece of it.

 

"We tried to hold onto the pulse of the feedback current

Into the flow of encrypted movement

Slapback kills the ancient remnants "

Try and figure this one out, then!

 

The Beatles - I Am The Walrus

 

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together

See how they run like pigs from a gun

See how they fly, I'm crying

 

Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come

Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday

Man, you've been a naughty boy

You let your face grow long

 

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen

I am the walrus

Goo goo g'joob

 

Mister city policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row

See how they fly like Lucy in the sky

See how they run, I'm crying

 

Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye

Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess

Man, you've been a naughty girl

You let your knickers down

 

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen

I am the walrus

Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob

 

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun

If the sun don't come you get a tan

From standing in the English rain

 

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen

I am the walrus

Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob

 

Expert texpert choking smokers

Don't you think the joker laughs at you?

See how they smile like pigs in a sty

See how they snide, I'm crying

 

Semolina pilchards climbing up the Eiffel Tower

Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna

Man, you should've seen them

Kicking Edgar Allen Poe

 

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen

I am the walrus

Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob

Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo

While they may be complete nonsense, I love the lyrics to 'I Am The Walrus' because of the wonderfully surreal yet incredibly vivid imagery it creates. They're some of the best lyrics I've ever heard.

 

John Lennon said he wrote it when he heard about teachers giving pupils The Beatles' lyrics to analyze. So he wrote it cynically as a way of saying "try and analyze this one!"

 

And I love it. :cool:
