Following on from the "write a song thread" I decided it would be a (good/crud) idea to have a place where avid listeners can report examples of innocence shattering lyrics.


Lead on...

please.

Is this just Silver Sun, or can it be anyone? I can't think of much off the top of my head, but when I was younger I remember hearing that song by The Divinyls with the lyric: "I don't want anybody else / When I think about you I touch myself".
It didn't have any meaning at the time, but now that I'm older...

Actually, I've just done a search for the lyrics, and they're even dodgier than I thought.

The Divinyls - I Touch Myself

A lot of Dave Gedge lyrics could be considered this way...

e.g. Quick, Before It Melts by Cinerama

And when you said: "I've got nothing on beneath this dress", that was such great flirting!
I usually find such candidness sort of disconcerting
But you said: "I don't wear underwear because it leaves a stripe
People sneer, but do you think I care? They're usually not my type!"
And soon we're reeling from the beer that we keep buying
You ask me what I'm doing here and I start lying...

Health And Efficiency by Cinerama

And we ate peaches in this very place
The juice was running down your face
I poured coffee from a flask; it tasted funny
And then we tried to make love by this lake
I remember you began to shake
And I was far too scared to ask if you were coming
We bought 'H & E' because we thought it was dirty
It's strange just how innocent it all looks today
We tried to imagine ourselves naked at thirty
But that always seemed such a long way away
We looked for mountaintops to climb
Just because we needed things to fill our time
We were young and free, and boy, did we abuse it...

and Lollobrigida lyrics

You shake, I sweat, it stings
I ache, you're wet, I cling
Your thighs, your breasts, my cheek
Your eyes, undress, don't speak...

Tie Me Up

The minute I closed the door you caressed me
Then pulled me down to the floor and undressed me
You tied my hands and whispered commands
Then my whole body shook as you began to suck
I cried your name and then I came
You own me, you own me, and I'll do anything
You own me, you own me, and I'm not arguing

and you probably get the idea. Not forgetting Dave's previous band The Wedding Present...

The Cure ~ A Man Inside My Mouth (Do I really need to post lyrics with a title like that?)

"I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating...

Later on in the song

"And I woke up with a man inside my mouth...(this won't hurt at all...)

The Cure ~ Snow In Summer

"Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You come
And close in me
Just like the snow in summer

Infact, I could post most of The Cure's songs up in this thread.....
