Tuff Darts - (Your Love Is Like) Nuclear Waste (1977)

Lyrics excerpt ...

guitartuna.com

...
I'd rather crawl through poison ivy, or grab high tension wires,
cut my legs off at the knees, or set my self on fire.
Than have to feel your charms closing in around me,
or feel your slimy kisses covering my body.

Your love is like a nuclear waste
Your body is a danger to the human race
They should stamp contaminated
right across your face
Your love is like a nuclear waste

I'd rather stick my tongue into a fan
Drink ex-lax slacks all day long
I'll have to chew on razor blades
or give head to King Kong
But to have to be between the
sheets with you for any time

I'll have to feel your scaly
flesh moving onto mine

Your love is like a nuclear waste
Your body is a danger to the human race
It should stamp contaminated
right across your face

New Order - True Faith (1987)
www.youtube.com

A song where the lyrics have been changed for radio ...

en.wikipedia.org(song)#Composition

...
The original lyrics included a verse that read "Now that we've grown up together/They're all taking drugs with me". Hague convinced Bernard Sumner to change the latter line to "They're afraid of what they see" because he was worried that otherwise it would not get played on the radio. When performing the song live, the band have usually used the original line.[8]

During a live performance in 1993 in Reading, Sumner replaced the first lines of the second verse with the lyrics "When I was a very small boy, Michael Jackson played with me. Now that we've grown up together, he's playing with my willy."[9] This was a topical reference to the allegations of sexual abuse against the singer. ...


At one point in my career, my manager sent a link to this song to everyone who reported to him, quoting the opening lines... "I feel so extraordinary, Something's got a hold on me."

I sent him a private email telling him the drug-oriented history of the song and the other versions of it.

I'll just say that his response was less than optimum for my career. ...

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Be Not Too Hard (1974)

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Be not too hard for life is short
And nothing is given to man
Be not too hard if he's sold or bought
For he must do the best he can

Be not too hard when he blindly dies
Fighting for things he does not own
Be not too hard when he tells lies
Or if his heart is sometimes stone

Be not too hard for soon he'll die
Often no wiser than he began
Be not too hard for life is short
And nothing is given to man
...

Colourfield - Castles In The Air (1985)
www.youtube.com

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
I really wanted her hair to touch her knees
I really wanted to share forgotten dreams
Go through the motions of loving from a far
And feel as if i'm reaching for the stars

But each drop of hopelessness amounts
To what could be a raging sea
It could be spring time, I'd meet her at the gates
If beauty ever comes to those who wait

Castles in the air
If only they were there
Just like a beatnik love affair
Those castles in the air

So let me look into the windows of your soul
Let me make the most of what i'll never know
We'll eat forbidden fruits and sing our favourite songs
And never tell each other we're wrong

Each drop of tenderness you give
Would be another reason why i'd want to live
Would be another chance to sit beneath the stars
And whisper to each other in the dark
...
