I'm curious about the most bizarre/best lyrics people know of. This one has to be a contender for most bizarre. It's from The Beatles "Happiness is a warm gun":
She's a girl who misses much,
Do do do do do do do, oh yeah.
She's well aquainted with touch of the velvet hand,
Like a lizard on a window pane.
The man in the crowd with multicoloured mirrors,
On his hobnailed boots.
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy,
Working overtime.
A soap impression of his wife which he ate,
And donated to the National Trust.
Christ knows what they were on when they wrote that song!!
No doubt Goatboy will quote some weird Clutch lyrics, with good reason too. :O)

Anyone ever tried to unravel the lyrics from any Shamen song???
Well, for weirdness check out MK2a, Transamzonia, Re-Evolution and even chart hits like L.S.I., Ebeneezer Goode, BossDrum and Comin` on Strong.
Also, if you have a copy of the dubiously titled Hempton Manor CD, Take the first letter from each track listing to see a parting message to their Record label boss as a last act of defiance before parting company.

One of my favourites is Domino by Genesis. It's got some very strange - some might say disturbing - lyrics!
You can find it on the Invisible Touch album.
Domino (Part 1)
---------------
The grey of evening fills the room
There's no need to look outside
To see or feel the rain.
And I reach across to touch her
But I know the she's not there
Rain keeps running down the window pain
Time is running out for me.
Can't you see what you are doing to me?
Can't you see what you have done?
As I try to pass another long and sleepless night
A hundred crazy voices call my name
As I try to pass them by
I almost can believe that she is here
Here in the glow of the night
Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you've begun?
And do you see we shall never be together again?
All of my life.
Ooh the lonely people, empty rooms.
And all the pointless violence, silent tombs.
Could it be that be that we shall be together again?
Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night
Only foreign city sirens can cut through
Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimise the cold
But they can't keep out the chilling sounds
Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming
That she is here with me?
Here in the glow of the night.
Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you've begun?
And do you see we shall never be together again?
All of my life.
Ooh the lonely people, empty rooms.
And all the pointless violence, silent tombs.
Could it be that be that we shall be together again?
Could it be that be that we shall be together again?
In silence and darkeness
We held each other near that night
We prayed it would last forever.
Domino (Part 2)
---------------
Blood on the windows
Millions of ordinary people are there
They gaze at the scenery
They act as if it is perfectly clear
Take a look at the mountain
Take a look at the beautiful river of blood
The liquid surrounds me
I fight to rise from this river of hell
I stare round about me
And children are swimming and playing with boats
Their features are changing
Their bodies dissolve
And I am alone
Now see what you've gone and done
Now see what you've gone and done
Well now you never did see such a terrible thing
As you seen last night on the TV
Maybe if we're lucky they will show it again
Such a terrible thing to see.
But there's nothing you can do when you're next in line.
You gotta go, domino.
Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine.
I know just what I gotta do.
Play the game of happiness and never let on
That it only lives on in a song.
Well there's nothing you cando when you're next in line.
You gotta go domino
Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you've begun?
In silence and darkness
Hold each other near tonight
For will it last forever?
Will it last forever?
Forever?
Well there's nothing you cando when you're next in line.

We all stare but does he care
Is he apples, is he pears I wonder?

I never really payed much attention, but were the lyrics to Britney Spears 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' supposed to be taken as they sounded? With lines like "My loneliness is killing me' etc, I assumed that she was singing that she'd rather be beaten by her fella than be alone? Did anyone else get this impression? Or should I have actually have listened to it properly?
Anywho, enough of that tosh
"I'm not in love with you,
But I won't hold that against you"
