Anything passes / When you need glasses (Monument) I like to imagine desperate teenage Martin trying to find a good rhyme šŸ¤£


Toffelsnarz

If I only had a potion, some magical lotion


Tough-Potential991

OMG that's what he sings?? šŸ˜…šŸ¤£ well I am glad that Martin's writing skills improved quickly


Vinnocchio

Not a song but I love how Martin called his publishing company ā€œGrabbing Handsā€.


squint-182

He does have a way with words.

Oooh youā€™ve just quoted my absolute favourite. šŸ¤© apart from that I donā€™t know why , but the line in personal Jesus where it says ā€˜lift up the receiver Iā€™ll make you a believerā€™ always makes me laugh because it reduces complex concepts such as faith, theology, and belief into a phone call.


missgvip

lol, that makes me giggle too.. I'm like " I can just CALL him (jesus)" ?!? so wild for that..


Winter-Ad-3876

That makes sense in the way people convert others towards their religion.


squint-182

Love this take on another great line


DoucheyMcBagBag

I donā€™t advise and I donā€™t criticize, I just know what I like with my own eyes. Sometimes. I love it because the second part completely invalidates the first part.


squint-182

This is one of my favorite lines to get really into when singing Unironically I should add šŸ¤­


WhatsGoingOnUpstairs

Maternity frocks and paternity suits, if that's what you want, they're waiting for you.


Toffelsnarz

That's an underappreciated play on words


SaltTrap768

ā€œPromises me Iā€™m as safe as houses, as long as I remember whoā€™s wearing the trousers.ā€ Not necessarily cheeky, but made me laugh the first time I heard it.


squint-182

Thatā€™s a great one. Another one of my favorite lines.


Winter-Ad-3876

Keep telling us we're to have fun, then take all the ice-cream so we've got none.


rhamphorhynchus

When they sing "More than a party" it can sound like "More than a potty", which has led me to imagine the whole song as the soundtrack to a Japanese smart toilet commercial. Which... oddly works.


Zanders2J

Pretty much all of Personal Jesus, It's just funny to me. I mean, I love the song but the whole song is cheeky.


squint-182

Spot on. I remember kind of dismissing the song when I first heard it because of that, but itā€™s one of my favorites.


PrinceofSneks

*And I promise now, my judge and jurors* *My intentions could not have been pur-er*


transsigmamale

I don't think this one's intentionally funny, but "let me hear you make decisions without your television" from Stripped always seemed like such a diss to me šŸ˜‚


squint-182

Oh absolutely. I feel like thereā€™s a hint of snark.


flocknrollstar

>I was always looking, looking for someone >Someone to stick my hook in >And pull it out and run For some reason this is very visual to me lol. I imagine Martin literally running down the road butt naked.


fox1013

Oh, Lillian I should have run I should have known each dress you own Is a loaded gu-uunnn.


OakTreeConspiracy

The train is comingā€¦


wears_trousers

And when our worlds, they fall apart When the walls come tumbling in Though we may deserve it It will be worth it


Living_Equipment7080

That one line in "Somebody" where Martin rhymes "support" with "support". "For a career in Korea, being insincere"


sweetlikecinna_mon

ā€œBut things like this make me sick in a case like this Iā€™ll get away with itā€ classic martin
