Are you trying to shoot down your own point?
 
 the Dandys song is a scathing attack on hipsters and the music scene. The Dura Duran song is a collection of phrases with no apparent meaning that only occassionally rhyme. It is nonsense.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

a song that is about hipsters and the music scene seems like a pretty vapid topic to me, even if it is skewering it. My point was BOTH are vapid.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

and aint this one brilliant...hmmm is it duran duran, or dandy warhols? very, very inciteful

No Rhett, you're right.
 
 This is so much better:
 
 This is what I do this is what I do
 Jennifer 1 was a racehorse-rider Heidi was a house on fire
 Bernadette kept a distance we got tangled up in telephone wire
 I'm gonna sing this song forever about a girl that I once knew
 And how she is always leaving this is what I do
 This is what I do for a living this is what I do
 In another life I was a holy roller in another lifetime I flew
 I have always kept a distance this is what I do
 This is what I do for a living this is what I do
 This is what I do this is what I do
 Every one of us has a secret rhythm beating like a drum
 All of us have a albatross and this is my one
 This is what I do for a living this is what I do
 I could hide it in the attic I could bury it in static
 I could only put it out in Japan
 I could tape my mouth closed I could take another dose
 I am dancing as fast as I can
 This is what I do for a living this is what I do
 This is what I do this is what I do

[mankie]

Now this...is a wordsmith at work...NOT!
 
 I need a camera
 To my eye
 To my eye reminding
 Which lies I been hiding
 ?
 Iâ??ve counted out
 Just to see how far
 Iâ??ve driven in the dark
 It echoes in my heart
 For my family
 Tell â??em Iâ??m lost on the sidewalk
 And, no, itâ??s not okay
 I smashed a camera
 I want to know why
 To my eye
 Deciding which lies that I been hiding
 Which _ _ belong
 Iâ??m counting on
 My _ _
 To walk me through this war
 Whenever wounds get stored
 For my family
 Tell â??em Iâ??m lost on the sidewalk
 And, no, itâ??s not okay
 Iâ??m counted out
 But no one knows how far
 Iâ??ve driven in the dark
 It echoes in my heart
 For my family
 Tell â??em Iâ??m lost, yeah, Iâ??m lost
 And, no, itâ??s not okay
 And, no, itâ??s not okay
 And, no, itâ??s not okay

One of the greatest...seriously.
 
 Old Red eyes is back
 Red from the night before the night before
 Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door
 
 Old Red's in town
 And sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound
 Just adding to the wrinkles on his deathly frown
 
 They're only red from all the tears that I should've shed
 They're only red from all the women that I could've wed
 So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise
 They could never be blue
 They could never be blue
 They could never be blue
 They could never be blue
 
 Listen up Old Red
 You never listened to a word the doctor said
 He told you if you drank another you'd be dead
 
 Old Red Eyes is back
 His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore
 He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw
 
 They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head
 They're only red from all the things I could have done instead
 So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise
 They could never be blue
 They could never be blue
 They could never be blue
 They could never be blue
 
 Blue is a street without an end
 Red is the colour of my hell
 Blue is a greeting from a friend
 Red is the colour of farewell
 
 Old Red he died
 And every single landlord in the district cried
 An empty bottle of whisky laying by his side
 A lazy little tear running from each eye
 They could never be blue
 They could never be blue
 They could never be blue
 They could never be blue

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

The Instigator was a subpar album for Rhett. That's what you do. You put your crap songs on your solo album and save your good stuff for the band.

...this is up there too!
 
 Line One is the time
 That you, you first stayed over at mine
 And we drank our first bottle of wine
 And we cried
 
 Line Two we're away
 And we both, we both had nowhere to stay
 Well the bus-shelter's always OK
 When you're young
 
 Now you're older and I look at your face
 Every wrinkle is so easy to place
 And I only write them down just in case
 That you die
 
 Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look
 Sitting on the prettiest eyes
 Sixty 25th of Decembers
 Fifty-nine 4th of Julys
 Not through the age or the failure, children
 Not through the hate or despise
 Take a good look at these crows feet
 Sitting on the prettiest eyes
 
 Line Three I forget
 But I think, I think it was our first ever bet
 And the horse we backed was short of a leg
 Never mind
 
 Line Four in a park
 And the things, the things that people do in the dark
 I could hear the faintest beat of your heart
 Then we did
 
 Now you're older and I look at your face
 Every wrinkle is so easy to place
 And I only write them down just in case
 You should die
 
 Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look
 Sitting on the prettiest eyes
 Sixty 25th of Decembers
 Fifty-nine 4th of Julys
 You can't have too many good times, children
 You can't have too many lines
 Take a good look at these crows feet
 Sitting on the prettiest eyes
 
 Well my eyes look like a map of the town
 And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown
 But you'll never hear the crack of a frown
 When you are here
 You'll never hear the crack
 Of a frown

Thanks Mankie, the band that made Billy Bragg suck will never be loved by me.

And these have to be amongst the cleverest lyrics ever, as only the Moz can do. (Is "cleverest" even a word?)
 
 Here is London, giddy of London
 Is it home of the free -
 Or what ?
 
 Can you squeeze me
 Into an empty page of your diary
 And psychologically save me
 I've got faith in you
 I sense the power
 Within the fingers
 Within an hour the power
 Could totally destroy me
 (Or, it could save my life)
 
 
 Oh, here is London
 "Home of the brash, outrageous and free"
 You are repressed
 But you're remarkably dressed
 Is it Real ?
 And you're always busy
 
 
 Really busy
 Busy, busy
 Oh, hairdresser on fire
 All around Sloane Square
 And you're just so busy
 Busy, busy
 Busy scissors
 Oh, hairdresser on fire
 (Only the other day)
 
 
 Was a client, over-cautious
 He made you nervous
 And when he said
 "I'm gonna sue you"
 Oh, I really felt for you ...mmm...
 
 
 So can you squeeze me
 Into an empty page of your diary;
 And supernaturally change me ?
 Change me, change
 Oh, here in London
 "Home of the brash, outrageous and free"
 You are repressed
 But you're remarkably dressed
 Is it Real ?
 And you're always busy
 
 
 Really busy
 Busy clippers
 Oh, hairdresser on fire
 All around Sloane Square
 
 
 And you're just too busy
 To see me
 Busy clippers
 Oh, hairdresser on fire
 (Only the other day)

Markie, this is how's it's done:
 
 Mankie, come to see the Dandy Warhols show. They are pretty good. You need to hear the music with the lyrics, so don't go by the words alone. Besides, Zia, the keyboard player (a woman) often plays topless.
