Sunday Morning Coming Down. "Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes And found my cleanest dirty shirt"
Amazing song. Good catch, but I still don't know what the implication is with "she's five years old" being metaphorical or Bjork being her. Either way...
I did come up with a couple of puns too in Set The House A Blazer (The Jam) and Sari Seems To Be The Hardest Word (Elton John)
I always read it as a lovely childhood anecdote? Like I remember going to the woods and collecting snails in a jar... anyway just one great song as you say.
"The new groups are not concerned With what there is to be learned They got Burton suits, ha, you think it's funny Turning rebellion into money." The Clash - "White Man In Hammersmith Palais".
Hayes Carll - Flowers and Liquor "We'll go home and leave the lights on Wear G-Strings and see-through tights oh"
Ebony Eyes ... it's a long shot Have you seen that girl in the corner I'd like to take her out of her chains ... It possible that being close to the punk movement that it was clothing
But least you thought about it. The post after yours found a shirt to add to the checklist. So yeah, items of clothing mentioned in the song lyrics, not in the title.
Chains more an 'accessory' I'd have thought, however, my theme is YOU WEAR IT WELL so, why not, as you can wear a chain. It's like a checklist haha so far... Sweater Boots Kimono Tunic Chains Kilt Jeans Suit Socks Tights Knickers Panties G-strings Jacket Scarf Hat... Still looking for a tie and a vest - I do hope no-one posts Boxers by Morrissey lol
Carly Simon - You're So Vain: "Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf, it was apricot"
Definitely one of the songs I find super endearing. Another one about underwear, from The Smiths I know the wind-swept mystical air It means : I'd like to see your underwear I recognize that mystical air It means : I'd like to seize your underwear Yeah that's... too funny.
Hank Williams Jr - American Dream "Now there are some preachers on T.V. with a suit and a tie and a vest They want you to send your money to the Lord but they give you their address"
"Satisfaction" - The Rolling Stones "When I'm watchin' my TV and a man comes on and tells me How white my shirts can be"
"All your suits are custom made in London"-"Dress You Up"-Madonna "See her walk by Peppermint coat Button-down clothes Buttoned-up high"- "Changes"-The Zombies "With your mohair suits and foreign shoes"-"There's A Guy Works Down The Chipshop Swears He's Elvis"-Kirsty Maccoll "Clean shirt, new shoes And I don't know where I am goin' to Silk suit, black tie,"- "Sharp Dressed Man"-ZZ Top
pixies no. 13 baby "Six foot girl gonna, sweat when she dig Stand close to the fire, when they light the pig Standing in her chinos shirt pulled off clean Gotta tattooed tit say number 13" pixies - cactus " Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that I had just something you wore I put it on when I go lonely Will you take off your dress and send it to me? I miss your kissin' and I miss your head And a letter that you're writing doesn't mean you're not dead Run outside in the desert heat Make your dress all wet and send it to me I miss your soup and I miss your bread And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead So spill your breakfast and drip your wine Just wear that dress when you dine dine dine p-i-x-i-e-s Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that I had just something you wore Bloody your hands on a cactus tree Wipe it on your dress and send it to me Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that I had just something you wore
