Best rhyme in a song

[acrossthepond]

There's only one **** in scunthorpe, one **** in scunthorpe, etc.....?

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

I don't want to see a ghost
That's thing I fear the most
Rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

Classic.

 

[Pevenseagull]

She wears denim wherever she goes
Says she gonna get some records by The Status Quo
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

 

[Buzzer]

"Psychedelic invocations of Mata Hari at the station, I give to you"

"Because I've been up here for a while, I'm starting to feel the monotony of the tower block"

 

[red star portslade]

 

[lawros left foot]

Little does she know, The Kursaal Flyers,
When she finished her laundry, she was all in a quandry
I knew that she`d seen me, cos she dropped her bikini
Her escape was so urgent, she dropped her detergent
Absolute genius

"I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine if you show me yours"

- B*witched, 'C'est La Vie'

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

For just individual rhymes:

The Beatles - from Lovely Rita, Meter maid:
Got the Bill, and Rita paid it,
Took her home, I nearly made it
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two

And from Dylan- Love Minus Zero - No Limit:
Bow down to her on Sundays,
salute her when her birthday comes,
Bow down to her on Sundays,
salute her when her birthday comes,
For Halloween buy her a trumpet,
And for Christmas, Give her a big drum.

EDIT - Sorry, wrong song. It's from She Belongs to Me. But they are both from the original "Bringing it all Home" Album, which also included Mr Tambourine man and It's All Over Now, baby Blue.... and Maggie's Farm..... and It's alright ma, I'm Only Bleeding.

"Son, I'm 30
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty"

- Happy Mondays, 'Kinky Afro'

I agree to a point Icy definitely. My fave ever Dylan lyrics in terms of what they said to me are these. Already pencilled in for when i take my last journey!!!!

"Every Grain Of Sand"

In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
There's a dying voice within me reaching out somewhere
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.

Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break
In the fury of the moment I can see the master's hand
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.

Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.

I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.

I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.

I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other time it's only me
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.

Definitely my favorite great stuff!

"I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine if you show me yours"

- B*witched, 'C'est La Vie'

Mister Sifter sold me songs
When I was just sixteen
Now he stops at traffic lights
But only when they're green

Cool for cats Squeeze. A few in here

The Indians send signals
From the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take positions
In the bushes and the grass
The squaw is with the Corporal
She is tied against the tree
She doesn't mind the language
It's the beating she don't need
She lets loose all the horses
When the Corporal is asleep
And he wakes to find the fire's dead
And arrows in his hats
And Davy Crockett rides around
And says it's cool for cats
The Sweeney's doing ninety
'Cos they've got the word to go
They get a gang of villains
In a she'd up at Heathrow
They're counting out the fivers
When the handcuffs lock again
In and out of Wandsworth
With the numbers on their names
It's funny how their missus'
Always look the bleeding same
And meanwhile at the station
There's a couple of likely lads
Who swear like how's your father
And they're very cool for cats
They're cool for cats

To change the mood a little
I've been posing down the pub
On seeing my reflection
I'm looking slightly rough
I fancy this, I fancy that
I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle
And I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
And by the time I'm sober
I've forgotten what I've had
And ev'rybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat
Cool for cats

Shake up at the disco
And I think I've got a pull
I ask her lots of questions
And she hangs on to the wall
I kiss her for the first time
And then I take her home
I'm invited in for coffee
And I give the dog a bone
She likes to go to discos
But she's never on her own
I said I'll see you later
And I give her some old chat
But it's not like that on the TV
When it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats

You beat me to it - I'd suggest just about anything by Squeeze.

"I never thought it would happen with me and the girl from Clapham
but on a windy common, a night I've not forgotten ...."

Who's going to iron my pants.
Who's going to give me a 2nd chance.

Dr hook

There are loads by Elvis Costello (possibly my favourite lyricist) including the below from 'Man Out of Time':

'Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning
You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morning'

Fact: Until I looked it up to get the copypaste to post here I'd been singing the first half of the first line wrong

 

[Buzzer]

Got on da bus with ma daysaver
Smoked a reefer in da corner...



Thread closed. Nothing can top the Kersal Massive. Nothing.

 

[Buzzer]

"Son, I'm 30
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty"

- Happy Mondays, 'Kinky Afro'

Another great shout. One of my 3 favourite openings to a song along with Squeeze's Up the Junction and Rose Garden by Lynn Anderson.


But Kersal Massive still take the prize.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Beautiful South song 'I love you but you're boring':

"When we first met I asked you for your hand. I didn't really mean that hand."

and same song:

"What about the time at that fancy dress when you came dressed as your mum and there I was splendid in my penguin suit so scared to show my bill"

an I said join hands, bake phallic cake, carry round sticky tape an love them devil dogs.....



although i'l vote for "his mother bought him a synthesizer, got The Human League in to advise her"

 

[The Modfather]

Now, Sheriff Fatman started out
In business, a granny farmer
He was infamous for fifteen minutes
And he appeared on Panorama

But then he somehow got himself on board
The Starship Enterprise Allowance Scheme
With a Prince of Wales award
For pushing Valium and amphetamines

Moving up onto second base
Behind Nicholas Van Wotsisface
Six foot six and a hundred tons
The undisputed king of the slum

More aliases than Klaus Barbie
The master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
Just about to take the stage
The one and only, hold the front page

Fatman's got something to sell
To the capital's homeless
At the Crossroads Hotel
For the no-fixed-abodeless

Where you can live life in style
You can sleep in a closet
And if you flash him a smile
He'll take your teeth as deposit

There's bats in the belfry
The windows are jammed
The toilets ain't healthy
And he don't give a damn

He just chuckles and smiles
Laughs like a madman
Born again Rachman
Here comes Sheriff Fatman

With his Valium, amphetamines
His sick notes and his phony prescriptions
And just when you thought it was safe
To go back into kitchen

More aliases than Klaus Barbie
The master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
Just about to take the stage
The one and only, hold the front page


In goes another left hook and now I'm losing my patience
Someone call up Roger Cook and the United Nations
He's buying up houses for the has beens and helpless
From Lands End to South end to Chelsea

 

[00snook]

Another great Carter line is

"There's an all night chicken take-away that was finger licking closed"
