Turn of Phrase (Vol. 1)

This post is short and simple. It’s a small collection of song lyrics. Lyrics that have amused me in one way or another. There is no intended theme, least not for volume one. 

Drenge “Face Like a Skull”

And if you cannot take another night in his arms,

Then I’ll nick all the batteries from his fire alarms.


P J Harvey “Who Will Love Me Now”

In the forest, there’s a monster

And it looks so very much like me


Cas “All Hallows”

I’m as English as Fruit And Barley,

Or HP Sauce, on your bacon sarni’.

From a country where coke’s no joke.

Why the fuck d’you think the Queen named her son Charlie?


Tops “Sleepwalker”

Moontalker, tell me when you’re dreaming

Tied down

Hold on to words till you are sleeping

Words you forget in the daylight

Words that you are speaking

Tied down by your dreams

Words that you are screaming
