Song Lyrics that seem to mean something but probably don't

[Apech]

Back to the, the garden where the rich folks love a walk
Don't chop wood for practice, your place is here in the world
Delirium, delirium, maybe it's just cold outside
Crooked bones show the king's feet

[Chorus]
Uptown folks pay very well, indeed
Uptown folks pay very well, indeed

[Nungali]

Lyrics AND visuals  that are meaningless  

 

...

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercury's and Subaru's
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars

Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe too toe
Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, to punk rock

Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up! "

I saw a black music historian comment on this  " Hey Man , we didnt have a clue what she meant , but we appreciated her attempt to try and emulate us" .

[Nintendao]

Every thought's a game

A pack of chimps I cannot tame

You're wondering who to blame

Now your ride has come up lame

 

Fortress full of hate

Fears and hopes all pound the gate

To early, it's too late

What is evil, which is great?

 

Pigs are sheep and cats are dogs

And thoughts are made of Lincoln Logs

To tend to the mice and wood

Where black is blue and bad is good

 

Thoughts that I keep my money in

Melt some wax and chunks of tin

Forget your name, how to walk and ignore

The light shining in from under the door

 

Thoughts like a thread through a foam device

Liquid bread and rubber ice

Make a promise, grow teeth, go to bed

Wake up when you're dead

Everything written by Yes...

 

And in the ruins of the balloon
Stood a man with glasses held high
Wondering when to do it again
Have another fly into the sky
Somewhere flying high

Astral traveller
Leaving without her
Wondering where lights go
Leave out the body load

I always dug this song... Even though its lyrics seem to be every bit as 'psychotic' as the video that originally accompanied it! If anyone amongst you guys can make some coherent kind of sense out of it, though, please let me know...

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home was the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As a battle raged high
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

 

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

"No. 1 Lowest Common Denominator"
 

I wanna see your number 1 lowest common denominator
You're so hot! What choo got?
On the outside I'm a good boy
Let me inside 'cause I'm full of joy
I don't want to shock you but I'm an electric eel
How's that make your denominator feel?

Think I'll surprise her
I can always depend on my great equalizer
I wanna grind, lose your mind
I kissed you once, but will I kiss you again?
Be certain with sex and you'll always have friends
Your glands wanna freak, your hands wanna speak
And your mind slips away at the peak

Recitation (A Poem of Love)

Time stops - the light goes on
A thundering head and no body
Washed up and woke up on the beach,
Seaside breakfast
A tender egg on white sand
Legs long and tan without a break, even to the neck
Suddenly, simultaneously, an eclipse and a snowfall
Flakes melt instantly on the shoulders like wet silver
Burning little holes all the way to the marrow
Puckered flesh like avocado sags into a green pool
All the birds leave turquoise ruts
Across the Velveeta sky
It's time to scream

I wanna be your number 1 lowest common denominator

Makes perfect sense to me...

 

[C T]

I chose an eternity of this
Like falling angels
The world disappeared
Laughing into the fire
Is it always like this?
Flesh and blood and the first kiss
The first colours
The first kiss
We writhed under a red light
Voodoo smile
Siamese twins
A girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me
It falls apart....
