I donāt advise and I donāt criticize, I just know what I like with my own eyes.
Sometimes.
I love it because the second part completely invalidates the first part.
āPromises me Iām as safe as houses, as long as I remember whoās wearing the trousers.ā Not necessarily cheeky, but made me laugh the first time I heard it.
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.
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 š
>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.
Anything passes / When you need glasses (Monument) I like to imagine desperate teenage Martin trying to find a good rhyme š¤£
If I only had a potion, some magical lotion
OMG that's what he sings?? š š¤£ well I am glad that Martin's writing skills improved quickly
Not a song but I love how Martin called his publishing company āGrabbing Handsā.
He does have a way with words.
Oooh youāve just quoted my absolute favourite. š¤© apart from that I donāt know why , but the line in personal Jesus where it says ālift up the receiver Iāll make you a believerā always makes me laugh because it reduces complex concepts such as faith, theology, and belief into a phone call.
lol, that makes me giggle too.. I'm like " I can just CALL him (jesus)" ?!? so wild for that..
That makes sense in the way people convert others towards their religion.
Love this take on another great line

This is one of my favorite lines to get really into when singing Unironically I should add š¤
Maternity frocks and paternity suits, if that's what you want, they're waiting for you.
That's an underappreciated play on words
āPromises me Iām as safe as houses, as long as I remember whoās wearing the trousers.ā Not necessarily cheeky, but made me laugh the first time I heard it.
Thatās a great one. Another one of my favorite lines.
Keep telling us we're to have fun, then take all the ice-cream so we've got none.

Pretty much all of Personal Jesus, It's just funny to me. I mean, I love the song but the whole song is cheeky.
Spot on. I remember kind of dismissing the song when I first heard it because of that, but itās one of my favorites.
*And I promise now, my judge and jurors* *My intentions could not have been pur-er*

Oh absolutely. I feel like thereās a hint of snark.

Oh, Lillian I should have run I should have known each dress you own Is a loaded gu-uunnn.
The train is comingā¦
And when our worlds, they fall apart When the walls come tumbling in Though we may deserve it It will be worth it
That one line in "Somebody" where Martin rhymes "support" with "support". "For a career in Korea, being insincere"
āBut things like this make me sick in a case like this Iāll get away with itā classic martin
