Lyrics

Tattoo, tattoo
I got elvis on my elbow
When i flex elvis talks
I got hula girls on the back of my leg
And she hulas when i walk

Speak in cherry red
Screaming electric green
Purple mountain’s majesty really talk to me
Talk to me babe

Swap-meet sally
Trampstamp cat
Mousewife to momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo-tattoo

(Tattoo, tattoo)
Show me your dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So autobiographic!

Best believe that need will hurt you
Best deceive these true colors that follow one of your false virtues

Here’s a secret to make you think
Why is the crazy stuff we never said poetry in ink
Speak in day-glow red
Explodo paint
Purple mountain’s majesty show me you, i’ll show you me

Swap-meet sally
Trampstamp cat
Mousewife to momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo-tattoo

Woo!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Sexy dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So very autobiographic!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Got a hold on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
You put a spell on meeeee!

Uncle danny had a gold tattoo
He fought for the unions
Some of us still do
On my shoulder is a number of the chapter he was in
That number is forever like the struggle here to win

Everybody!
Swap-meet sally
Trampstamp cat
Mousewife to momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo-tattoo
Tattoo
Ta-too!

(Tattoo, tattoo)
Sexy dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So very autobiographic!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
You got a hold on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
You put a spell on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
I’m in love with you
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Show me, show me your
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Look at me, look at you!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Whoa!

Under rated U2 Songs

Top underrated U2 songs that should be rated higher than a rates demand from the council or rather some of Jimmy’s fave songs by U2.

Please, from the album Pop.

Pop is probably Bono’s best effort lyrically. With word plays on Michael Jackson being history over Jackson’s own HIStory pun, the blind leading the blonde and the line from Please “Your Catholic blues, Your convent shoes” pretty much summing up Bono’s eternal search for his place and pace in the world this song was depressing yet uplifting at the same time. Edge’s solo (esp in live recordings) was up there with his best.

Dirty Day, Zooropa

“These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill” being sung over and over at the end always remind me that I never have enough time to do what ever it is I wanted do. This song did make me go see a documentary on the guy it was dedicated to, the author Charles Bukowski and read some of his books. So if anything this song taught me it sux to be a drink alcoholic author who used to work in a post office. In fact I think Charlie boy actually went postal before the term was applied to the fine people at the US Postal Service.

Van Dieman’s Land, Rattle and Hum.

It has the Edge singing and he actually means it but you believe it too even though its about Aussie bastards?! It has good chord changes. Hmm have I said this before? Also was there actually any humming on the album? Ok Edge, play the blues.

In to the Heart, Boy

I like this because of the outro from the prior song, An cat Dubh, becomes the intro to this. Kind of a plodding but hypnotic bass riff with crisp Edge playing.


MLK, The Unforgettable Fire.

While the fire is a reference to atomic bombs being dropped in Japan (an early portent of How to dismantle an Atomic Bomb maybe?) the album seemed dedicated to two Kings – Elvis and Martin Luther King. The song is sung like a lullaby, actually encouraging sleep. While Bono’s politic rants and beseeches and besmirches of The Man might put the more jaded and cynical amongst us to sleep you can’t complain that this song does the same in a nice under the covers on a rainy day kind of way.

Beat on the Brat, cover of The Ramones, from the We’re a Happy Family Ramones Tribute Album.

Beat on the brat with a baseball bat. Yeah punk. U2 started out playing Ramone’s covers trying to pass them off as their own. Which is pretty much the music industry down pat these days. What can you do?

You can listen to God Pt II, from Rattle and Hum again. Awesome base, awesome solo and a big fuck you to some guy called Goldman.

No Line on the Horizon Lyrics from the new U2 Album:

Last Gang in Town lyrics by Green Day

Last Gang in Town lyrics by Green Day


These might be the lyrics. Then again they might not. These however, are the lyrics to Carpe Diem.


Last Gang in Town lyrics


Everybody's looking for last gang in town
You better watch out for they're all comin' around

The sport of today is exciting
The in crowd are into infighting
When some punk sees some rock-olla
It's rock and roll all over
In every street and every station
Kids fight like different nations
And it's brawn against brain
And it's knife against chain
But it's all young blood
Flowing down the drain

The crops hit the stiffs
An' the spikes whipped the quiffs
They're all looking 'round

For the last gang in town

Meanwhile down in black town
Those old soul rebels are haingin' around
An' when some punk come alooking for sound
Rastaferi goes to ground
The white heart flipped his pocket dipped
'cos a black sharp knife never slips
And they never say to one antoher
That tomorrow we might kill our brothers

Down from the edge of london
The rockabily rebels came
From another edge of london
Skinhead gangs call out their name
But not the zydeco kids
From the high rise
Though they can't be recognized
When you hear a cajun fiddle
Then you're nearly in the middle
Of the last gang in town

Amy Lyrics by Green Day

Amy Lyrics Green Day

Presumably Green Day wrote these lyrics with Amy Winehouse in mind - tragically for some fans she died aged 27 after one too many bottles of vodka.

Amy Lyrics:

Is your heart singing out of tune, are your eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time, some blood stains on your shoes.
No one really knows about your soul, and I barely really know your name.
Burning rhythms and posting lies, a bunch of fools drown in shame.
Amy don't you go, I want you around.
Singin' woah woah woah, please don't go

Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?

Did you tattoo a lucky charm to keep you out of harms way?
Warding off all evil signs, but it never really kept you safe.
Now, you're too young for the golden age, 'cause the record bin's been replaced.
27 gone without a trace and you walked away from your drink.
Amy don't you go, I want you around.
Singin' woah woah woah, please don't go

Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of...

Amy please don't go, Amy please don't go.
Is your heart singing out of tune, are your eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time, some blood stains on your shoes.
May I have this last dance, by chance if we should meet?
Can you write me a lullaby, so we can sing you to sleep
Amy don't you go, I want you around.
Singin' woah woah woah, please don't go, do you wanna be a friend of mine?

Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?

Stray Heart Lyrics Green Day 

A Song from Green Day that was recently debuted live - Stray Heart could be from an album that has yet to be announced. At the same gig Green Day played Carpe Diem and Let Your Self Go.

Stray Heart Lyrics:

I've said it a thousand times
And now a thousand more

We'll never part
I'll never stray again from you
As always just you
Go home to your heart

We'll never part
I'll never stray again from you
You're not alone
Oh oh and I'm where I belong
Without a home
Oh oh I'll hold your heart and never let go

Everything I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you

Everything I need
I need from you
But I just can't have you

Without a home
Oh oh and I'm where I belong
Without a home
Oh oh I'll hold your heart and never let go

Everything I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you

Everything I need
I need from you
But I just can't have you

Everything I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you

Everything I need
I need from you
But I just..
Just can't have you

Blue Moon of Kentucky lyrics by Green Day

Green Day has been known to cover this Elvis song in concerts from time.

Blue Moon of Kentucky lyrics - Words & music by Bill Monroe

Blue moon, blue moon, blue moon,
keep shining bright.
Blue moon, keep on shining bright,
You're gonna bring me back my baby tonight,
Blue moon, keep shining bright.

I said blue moon of Kentucky
keep on shining,
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
I said blue moon of Kentucky
keep on shining,
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.

Well, it was on one moonlight night,
Stars shining bright,
Whispered on high
Love said good-bye.

Blue moon of Kentucky
Keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.

Well, I said blue moon of Kentucky
Just keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
I said blue moon of Kentucky
keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.

Well, it was on one moonlight night,
Stars shining bright,
Whispered on high
Love said good-bye.

Blue moon of Kentucky
Keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
