Patronising song lyrics. 09:58 - Jun 3 with 4669 viewsMick_S

This was done a few years ago on the wireless by Danny Baker.

Elton John -" Your song."

If I was a sculptor
But then again no

Not very nice, is it?

Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

To be fair, sculptors are well known for chipping in without being asked.

It's being so happy that keeps me going.

I totally agree, but then Paul Weller was the weirdo that bought an Indian take-away before he got on the tube home, and was surprised when someone took offence.

I always thought the sainted Jerry Dammers got off lightly for this:

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me
No gimme, no gimme, no gimme no more pickni
Call me immature
Call me a poser
I'd love to spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't want to be rich
Don't want to be famous
But I'd really hate to have the same name as you

Another Weller one, this is from Dreams of Children. Some PHD level stating of the obvious going on here.

I was alone
No-one was there
I was alone

in the song "If You Don't Know Me By Now" by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes (also covered by Simply Red), I've always found these lines a bit patronising.......

We've all got our own funny moods
I've got mine, and woman you've got yours too

In the previous verse he talks about how he sometimes come home late at night and how his Mrs shouldn't "get so excited"
Now when she is talking to him, he puts it down to her "funny moods"
Sounds like he's just stopped short of asking her if it's her time of the month!

Ironic

The way I see it, she's trying to explain what Ironic means with examples daft situations none of which are ironic. I find her need to do that patronising.

I am not quite sure what the definition of patronising is in the context of a pop song, but this must qualify:

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

And if he did spread manure in her bed of roses, that would surely make the roses grow better, the opposite of what he was trying to achieve?

The expression “ lyrics” implies poetry and beauty, sadly missing in most pop music. “Words” is a better description.

"The wheels on the bus go,
Round and round,
Round and round,
Round and round..."

If my Dad came round my house tonight and sung that to me, I'd tell him to turn it in.

"Little donkey, little donkey on the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards with your precious load
Been a long time, little donkey, through the winters night
don't give up now, little donkey,
Bethlehems in sight"

If I was a donkey and someone sung that to me, I'd sit down in the middle of the dusty road and tell them to fu ck-right-off.

She calls out to the man on the street
'Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?'

"For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you"

You couldn't have told him a thing you pretentious pillock.

"Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They did not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will."

I doubt you've a clue what he was trying to say you utter w*nker. And what makes you think no ones listening, there are museums stuffed with his paintings FFS!

Edit: Oh its "Vincent" by Don McLean, in case you'd forgotten.

I always thought those lyrics were quite touching and when Mclean wrote them Vincents paintings were not as readily accepted as masterpieces as they are now in fact theres probably a reasonable argument that the song helped a wider appreciation of Van Gogh's work

I think the bigger issue here is that Mr Weller's protagonist has his address written about his person or has volunteered the information to said thugs who have made off with his keys for a gang bang but the bigger concern appears to be the waste of food and drink which corpses his mind in the same sentence.

Van Gogh's work has been internationally recognized since – at the least – the inter-war period. This was substantially due to Theo van Gogh's wife, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger. Who was left virtually penniless after her husband died. She had inherited hundreds of her brother-in-law's paintings however, and spent the rest of her life publicising him, and his work. She also translated the two brother's correspondence into English, which more than anything, built his reputation outside a small group of collectors in Europe.

By the 1950s van Gogh's work, was known internationally
The first of many films based on his life, Lust for Life, starring Kirk Douglas was released in 1956. The Netherlands has several museums devoted to his work, the earliest opened in the early 1950s, the largest in 1973.

I genuinely don't want to diminish your enjoyment of the song nor, even more, van Gogh's painting. However it simply isn't true that his work wasn't widely appreciated before then.

I have to agree with VancouverHoop.

I am a fan of Don Mclean, but he went OTT with his 'they're not listening' lines. It's a bit sugary and a bit silly, although I still like the song.
