Better Lyrics:

Zorbing down on Solsbury Hill

Ball was rolling, time stood swirly
If I had hair, it'd be curly...

I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
An eagle flew out of the night

Dirty Lyrics:

"Blood of Eden"

The Dirty Lyrics:

At my request, you take me in
In that tenderness, I am floating away
No certainty, nothing to rely on
Holding still for a moment
What a moment this is
Oh for a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I can hear the distant thunder
Of a million unheard souls
Of a million unheard souls
Watch each one reach for creature comfort
For the filling of their holes

Why They're Dirty:

Well, is it or is it not? It could mean anything, but it also pretty much could mean ... you know what ;o)

Submitted by: Claus

"Sledgehammer"

The Dirty Lyrics:

1.)You could have a steam train,
if you just laid down your tracks
2.) Open up your fruit cage,
cause I will be your honey bee,
open up your fruit cage,
where the fruit there is as sweet as can be

Why They're Dirty:

Not until about 2 years after initially hearing it. The first lyric is a long list of different types of lovers the woman can have. The second lyric is an obvious plee for him to perform oral sex.
