I seem to recall Desree saying that the song was a complete outtake, with the lyrics just straight off her head using up studio time at the end of a session. Still unforgiveable that it was released. My pet hate with lyrics are songwriters with a pataological desire to rhyme everything - Oasis being a case in point. Of course, there is that rare occasion where even the wierdest lyrics cannot drag the music down ... take the Pixies as an example.

At least many of the Pixies songs made sense when you actually understood what they were about. Like Debaser is about a surrealist film called "Un Chien Andalou" which was created by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali. No, I've never seen it, but I know they slice up eyeballs, er... lovely! "Here Comes your Man" is about a hurricane apparently, makes more sense now.

Thanks for that Binokular. I always wondered why Francis roared "I am un chien andalusia" repetitively in the middle of the song. I disagree with Vent My Spleen. Often the wierder the lyrics the better they are. Take Billy Corgan's writing for the Smashing Pumpkins for example

Un Chien Andalou was insufferable, ponderous nonsense, something I sat through in college...still one of the most comfortabl snoozes I ever had in a classroom. The eyeball scene was worth waking up for though - although the eyeball eating scene in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here last year was infinitely grosser. Though I doubt it'll make it to any Pixies lyrics.

my favourite clolour is red - like the bloodshed - from curt kobains head - when he shot himself dead. Eminem worst and best lyric ever

"i know, you know, they know" and "ice cuts like a knife" both are my own private gems!!
