Damn. Could not find the lyrics donations thread in here (do the time-space math, I have a very friendly bartender, hic) so I guess I'm making a new freakin' thread for it. Hope someone can get some amusement out of these fragments... from now on, if I can't get a song together, I'll post the bits in their more or less completedness (with whatever sidenotes that I feel are applicable, of course!) for someone else who has the opportunity to take advantage of. Be happy or not, yo.

"Control Yourself"
(the world is glad that I didn't try to pull off an old school ('70s-'80s) British ska hoarsey voice on this... maybe I'll do a Selecter homage at a later time, eh?)

Chorus:
Ooo-ooh, why can't you control yourself (x3)

See a shiny bauble on the BBC One
You know you can't afford it sans a credit card, hon'
But then you're down in the shop, the pretty in your hand
Just another bit of debt, ain't that plastic grand?

Chorus

You bought the pub a round and now it's far past last call
You shoulda called a cab, now you're headed for a fall
Didn't see the cyclist, now she's smeared across your hood
Sorry 'bout your luck mate, looks like you really fucked up good

Chorus

Double time freek-out

(Third verse, on predatory women working the welfare angle with an increasing amount of children being pumped out for profit; or just sexually stupid women in general... sorry I don't have words here)

Chorus and out

Not blind, not drunk, but in the happy medium inbetween. Thanks for calling me on my obliviousness.

Jeez, but that's embarrassing. But then, many of you have seen me live, heh. No surprises there, yeah.

Here are some lyric donations for the upcoming fight "You Get the Wiser":

You get the 'wiser, I get the Coors
She'll get the Miller, He'll get the whores

Gonna be a big party tonight (a big bash, yeah yeah)
Gonna make us all feel alright (a side of hash, yeah, yeah)

I can't see straight, but I can rock between the lines
You get the wiser, I'm out of time

And, as well, a reminder:
Songfight! main forum page wrote:Ye Olde Lyric Archive
Post lyrics to your song fight entries. Not for donations-- post those in the fight discussion forum.

I think the original idea was to put donations into the prefight thread, since we already have one of those per fight. Everyone just uses the Lyric-Mart thread though.

Putting a similar thread (or set of threads) into the fight forum IMO makes a mess of things.
