Greatest / Most Creative Rhyme in Rock / Pop?

Noel Coward was a charmer.

As a writer he was brahma.

Velvet, jackets and pyjamas,

had a gay divorce and other dramas.

Van Gough did some eyeball pleasers.

He must have been a pencil squeezer.

He didn't do the Mona Lisa,

That was an Italian geezer.

Einstein can't be classed as witless.

He claimed atoms were the littlest.

When you did a bit of splitting-em-ness

Frighten everybody shitless

Blue, songs are like tattoos

You know I've been to sea before

Crown and anchor me

Or let me sail away

Hey Blue, THERE is a song for you

Ink ON A Pin

Underneath the skin

An empty space to fill in

Well there's so many sinking now

You've got to keep thinking

You can make it through these waves

Acid, booze, and ass

Needles, guns, and grass

Lots of laughs, lots of laughs

Greatest song ever...simple rhymes

Tonight you're mine completely

You give you love so sweetly

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes

But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure

Or just a moment's pleasure?

Can I believe the magic of your sighs?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken

You say that I'm the only one

But will my heart be broken

When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love

Is love I can be sure of

So tell me now, and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow?

So tell me now, and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

"Will You Love Me Tomorrow"

Gerry Goffin/Carole King

" The tune will come to you at last.

When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven."

The love you take

Is equal to the love you make

Well this is the year and the Cubs are real,

So come on down to Wrigley Field.

Don't go around tonight,

Well it's bound to take your life,

There's a bathroom on the right...

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

Where they belong

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

They oughta get the hell out of America

And leave the white man alone

They don't like this, they don't like that

They're never satisfied and that's a fact

They more we give, the more they take

The more we fix, the more they break

The country's in an awful mess

With a whole lotta civil unrest

I got one thing to suggest

They outta leave, and get gone

Gather up all the negroes

And go back home

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

Where they belong

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

They oughta get the hell out of America

And leave the white man alone

They want their way, it ain't no doubt

They just keep pushin', they never stop

They don't like the way things are done

They outta go back to where they come from

So white people I'm askin' you

Let's buy us a boat or two

And here's what we need to do

Help 'em pack, and be kind

Make sure we don't leave

One negro behind

And send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

Where they belong

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

They oughta get the hell out of America

And leave the white man alone

Life in America would be so great

Without negroes here to demonstrate

'Bout this, and that, and that, and this

And you, and me, and gettin' things free

Won't you listen to me?

Let's send 'em all back to Africa

Send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

Where they belong

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

We oughta send 'em all back to Africa

They oughta get the hell out of America

And leave the white man alone

They oughta get the hell out of America

And leave the white man alone

Who are you?

ooh ooh

You ain't no leader, what?, nobody followed you

You was never shit, your mother should've swallowed you!

Lamont Coleman, greatest lyricist ever

"You're an essay in glamour, please pardon my grammar

But you're every schoolboy's dream

You're Celtic, UNITED, but, baby I've decided

You're the best team I've ever seen...."

Rod Stewart "You're In My Heart" 1977

The only love song to include a reference to the world's greatest ever football club (and we're clearly not referring to Glasgow Celtic here!)

In this life I've seen everything I can see woman,

I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand

I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,

And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above

I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides

And I've seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides

But I never seen nothing like you.

You can thank your lucky stars that we're not as smart as we'd like to think we are and

You can thank your lucky stars that we're not as smart as we'd like to think we are and
