When do pop music lyrics become poetry ?

I honestly don't think you have owt to worry about on the music front at all. In fact I'd say it's probably the one aspect of your particular online persona that pretty much is universally approved of. You post some corking tunes of all types. Put me to shame in terms of variety and many others too. Keep 'em coming :)

I put Kid A & Amnesiac on tape and listened to 'em back to back (was originally intended as a double-album anyway) for probably months on a near constant loop. Blew me away so they did. Some of their finest work to date easily. But then so's the rest of it really :D

David Bowie - Queen Bitch

Duh pu thu ku kun ba pa ta da da
Ah yeah
Oh yeah
I'm up on the eleventh floor
And I'm watching the cruisers below
He's down on the street
And he's try hard to pull sister flo
Oh, my heart's in the basement
My weekend's at an all time low
'cause she's hoping to score
So I can't see her letting him go
Walk out of her heart
Walk out of her mind
Oh not her

She's so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh god, I could do better than that
Oh yeah

She's an old-time ambassador
Of sweet talking, night walking games
And she's known in the darkest clubs
For pushing ahead of the dames
If she says she can do it
Then she can't do it, she don't make false claims
But she's a queen, and such a queen
Such a laughter is sucked in their brains
Now she's leading him on
And she'll lay him right down
Yes she's leading him on
And she'll lay him right down
But it could have been me
Yes, it could have been me
Why didn't I say, why didn't I say, no, no, no

She's so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh god, I could do better than that

So I lay down a while
And I gaze at my hotel wall
Oh the cot is so cold
It don't feel like no bed at all
Yeah I lay down a while
And I look at my hotel wall
And he's down on the street
So I throw both his bags down the hall
And I'm phoning a cab
'cause my stomach feels small
There's a taste in my mouth
And it's no taste at all
It could have been me
Oh yeah, it could have been me
Why didn't I say, why didn't I say, no, no, no

She's so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh god, I could do better than that
Oh
To tat yah
Oh yeah
Uh hu
Mmmback to top

Really practically very single track on that album is an outright masterpiece in its' own right. So yes, i like it i a little bit then

. It nearly always features very highly in best albums of all time lsit.

Corking fukin tune too: Any 1 whoe doesnt get electrified by this is clinically dead.

Country Feedback is perfect, and one of the best songs that Stipe's ever written imo. It came just before their sound completely changed and I stopped listening.

I'd have to say that pop song lyrics become poetry when the singer/song-writer kicks the bucket and you do away with any accompanying music and have some earnest looking male or female geek reading out said lyrics on a little stage at a poetry evening event sometimes hosted by hip cafes.

(I feel like that sentence was a tad long not to be containing any punctuation but what the hell.....if you read stuff and have to do it out loud or silently but with your lips moving just take a deep breath)

Popsong lyrics also become poetry in some people's opinion if they arduously write down several verses (or, now it's poetry, stanzas) and post in this thread.

(No offence intended to anyone......am just in a very bitchy mood this evening)
