I would imagine I'm a little older than you lot, but if you ever get chance, listen to some of the lyrics of T.Rex, a 70's band fronted by the late great Marc Bolan (ask your mum!)

Deborah:

Oh Deborah, you look like a stallion,

Your sunken face is like a galleon, torn with mysteries of the Spanish Main Oh Deborah!!



Jeepster:

Girl I'm just a jeepster for your love, I said girl I'm just a vampire for your love, and I'm gona suck ya!



Ride A White Swan:

Ride it on out like a druid in the old days ride it on out like you were a bird,........

Catch a bright star and you place it on your forehead say a few words and baby there you go, ride a white swan like the people of the Beltain wear your hair long babe you can't go wrong!







Anything more weird?! Some of his stuff was really off the wall! But he was brilliant. Odd, but brilliant.

Well, looking at all this made me think. (ouch) I thought how many songs have really odd lyrics. So I started another for odd/weird/strange lyrics. There must be loads! Will be interesting to see what others come up with!!

The weather is fine I think. Dark but fine.
