Best Meaningless Lyrics

Though Elephant Talk by KC is great, but silly.

I am the walrus

I'm a Ham

I'll go with this one and this one.

You mean one done by Dick Van Dyke?

We're so sorry, Uncle Albert,
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain.
We're so sorry Uncle Albert,
But there's no one left at home
And I believe I'm gonna rain.
We're so sorry but we haven't heard a thing all day.
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert.
But if anything should happen well be sure to give a ring.

We're so sorry, Uncle Albert,
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day.
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert,
But the kettles on the boil and we're so easily called away.

Hands across the water. (Water)
Heads across the sky.
Hands across the water. (Water)
Heads across the sky.

Admiral Halsey notified me,
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea.
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie.
(Butter Pie? )(The Butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie.)

Hands across the water. (Water)
Heads across the sky.
Hands across the water. (Water)
Heads across the sky.

Live a little be a gypsy, get around.(Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little, get around.
Live a little be a gypsy, get around.(Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little, get around

Hands across the water. (Water)
Heads across the sky.
Hand across the water. (Water)
Heads across the sky.

I am the walrus

That song actually makes sense to me.  

I'll have whatever you're smoking :)

You'd have to go some to beat Becks 'I'm a loser'


In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
 Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie
 With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
 Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
 Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
 Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control
 Baby’s in reno with the vitamin d 
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat 
Someone came sayin’ I’m insane to complain 
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt 
Don’t believe everything that you breathe 
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve 
So shave your face with some mace in the dark 
Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park Yo. cut it. 
 Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (double barrel buckshot) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? 
Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare 
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber ’cuz one’s got a weasel and the other’s got a flag 
One’s on the pole, shove the other in a bag 
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
 The daytime crap of the folksinger slob 
He hung himself with a guitar string 
A slab of turkey-neck and it’s hangin’ from a pigeon wing 
You can’t write if you can’t relate 
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate 
And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite who's chokin’ on the splinters
 Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (get crazy with the cheese whiz) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (drive-by body-pierce) (yo bring it on down) Soooooyy.... ?em llik uoy t'nod yhw os ,ybab resol a m'I rodedreP nu yos [It's the Chorus backwards] (I’m a driver, I’m a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it)

More in the mind
Than the body this feeling
A sense at the end
Of a circular line
That is drawn at an angle
I see when I'm with you
To navigate waters and finally answer to-yes.

Or, from the same album:

You walk, the way
You take, the path
To be, assured
You draw, a graph
The scale, you use
Is all, on black
Be brave, the weight
Will make, the heat
There is, no way
To take-it back.

Funny that you both mention songs from Drama (written by Trevor Horn, I believe) as if any of Jon Anderson's lyrics make sense! 


  Even Siberia goes through the motions...

The old Oscar Mayer song...

Not going to quote the entire song, but this should be enough.

"Hubcap diamond star halo".

The Song of the Seagoat - Pete Sinfield

The sea goat casts Aquarian runes through beads of mirrored tears,
Suave pirates words of apricot crawl out of your veneer
Anoint your eyes with Midas' oil and make it still appear

The rest is on Sinfield's site - A great place to visit if you are a King Crimson, Pete Sinfield or ELP fan.

Terminal Eyes - Al Stewart

Cut glass porcupine sailing on the Serpentine
Fingers on the skyline pulling down the black blinds
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
Rivulet of dark wine moving in a straight line
Sumdging out the stop signs, running down the life lines
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night

Holy moly, I guess you like guacamole!  


That was fun.

Ian Anderson's Thick As A Brick 1 & 2, there's nothing on either album that makes a lick of sense.

An example...Fray Bentos Pie for dinner, always a winner.

Makes a lot of sense if you grew up in the UK during the '60's & '70's.
