What is the most clever song lyric you've heard?

[Dethh]

Thought this would be fun, saw it on another forum.

Here's an example: "It doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you"-Neil Young

i just wanna f*ck bad b*tches... Fuck You - dr. dre

[Shadowmelded]

Basically anything Jesse Lacey or Matt Berninger write.

Edit; A more recent song sprung into mind (http://www.metrolyrics.com/meteorite...n-tiersen.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0fKjdVn8sA ) hard to pick out one single line though.

I've always loved this part of Californication (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderaan's not far away
It's Californication

Basically the whole song is about the phony glamor of Hollywood.

[Raldazzar]

the song needs to be heard to understand the cadence/flow of it..

You know these rapper dudes talk shit, start killin'
Fuck that, got goons like an arch-villain
I'm from the South, ain't got no accent, don't know why
So this rap is child's play, I do my name like Princess Di
Yeah, they say they want the realness, rap about my real life
Told me I should just quit: "first of all, you talk white!
Second off, you talk like you haven't given up yet"
Rap's stepfather, yeah, you hate me but you will respect
I put in work, ask Ludwig
Put my soul on the track like shoes did
Played this for my cousin, now he can't even think straight
Black and white music? Now, nigga, that's a mixtape
Shoutout to my blerds, they represent the realness
Shoutout to Gambino, girls, my dick is in the building
I know you hate me cause your little cousin play me
And I like black girls who nerdy, but when they dance they be sayin' "Owww"
I'm sorry for who followed me
Chillin' with a Filipina, at your local Jollibee
Yeah, I'm in her ass like sodomy
So if you see my hand under the table, don't bother me
I don't talk soft, that's that other guy
I'm screamin "What the fuck is up? " like I ain't seen the sky
And shit I'm doin' this year? Insanity
Made the beat then murdered it, Casey Anthony
These rappers don't know what to do
Cause all I did was act me like a Looney Tune
And I'll give you all of me until there's nothing left
I swear this summer will be summer camp, bitch!

"The King Is Gone (So Are You)"


Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
That looks like Elvis
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar
I cleared us off a place on that
One little table that you left us
And pulled me up a big ole piece of floor

I pulled the head off Elvis
Filled Fred up to his pelvis
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
And so are you

'Round about ten we all got to talking
'Bout Graceland, Bedrock and such
The conversation finally turned to women
But they said they didn't get around too much
Elvis said, "Find 'em young"
And Fred said "Old Fashioned girls are fun"
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
And so are you

Later on it finally hit me
That you wouldn't be 'a comin' home no more
'Cause this time I know you won't forgive me
Like all of them other times before
Then I broke Elvis's nose
Pouring the last drop from his toes
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
And so are you
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
And so are you

Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
That looks like Elvis
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar....

Paint the land
And give us green,
Cerulean
And heal us time and time again
Goddess of Sea
Bipolar beauty
Optional breathing
Figures form
Water drops beading

It's on Amerika's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse
has grown up a cow
Now the workers
have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it
ten times or more
It's about to be writ again

He is a genius writer.. He's got heaps of amazing lyrics written.
Same goes for Peter Gabriel and Jon Anderson.

Let the door don't hit you where the dog shoulda bit you.
You lazy-ass bitch, I don't need to take this shit.
So get the fuck out of my motherfuckin' house.

I've played this at the end of house parties,
Yea so that was 20 years ago but still...

Not my favourite Pink Floyd song, but I really enjoy the lyrics from "Have a Cigar". Especially:

Well, I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

Maybe not clever in the way you meant it, but I see it as a stab at false fans of the band and I think it's curious.

Someday, by No More Kings

Feel like Darth Vader with this helmet on my head,
I can't see.
I'm in there somewhere, past the plastic shield
when will I find me?

Someday I'll know, if I left me on my own
how far would I go?
Someday I won't be so self defeating,
I won't kick me when i'm bleeding.
i'll do a high dive from the high point of my roof

I'll be the smoothest dancer
and I'll have all the answers.
I'll make a stand and raise my hands
and the band will play.

Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan,
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr,
A'r gath wedi sgrapo Joni bach.

Bo Burnham is really clever with his lyrics. He's a music comedian, so they're meant to be funny, but sometimes they're really clever too!
