The Pogues - Streams of Whiskey (beware of Shane in his Y's)

I thought..

Last night as I slept
I dreamt I met a European
I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day
When questioned on his views
On the life of Haile Selassie
He had but these few clear and simple words to say

It actually goes...

Last night as I slept
I dreamt I met with behan
I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day
When questioned on his views
On the crux of life's philosophies
He had but these few clear and simple words to say

It also contains one of the greates lyrics in songwriting ever...

When the world is too dark
And I need the light inside of me
I'll walk into a bar and drink 15 pints of beer.

I scrolled back a few pages to see if I had posted this one, which led to lots of laughing.
Arcade Fire- Intervention.
I *thought* it was "every sparkle, friendship and love will die without a home." But it is SPARK OF. MINE IS SO MUCH BETTER. Sparkles need homes, guys!

More Rihanna, I didn't know the song was called California King Bed, so I thought for a long time she sung California dreaming (like Mamas & Papas…) more than in just one part.

For the longest time, I thought Belle & Sebastian's 'For the Price of A Cup of Tea' made reference to Billy Joel.And then realized the lyric was "village joke"
Same difference?

Had to check it, I also thought Billy Joel was mentioned, but no, it's village joke all the way.

The Selecter - James Bond
