    Default Unfortunate prophetic/ironic lyrics ...

    This is a thread for lyrcis which eerily echo the life of the artist wot wrote them.

    "They tried to get me go to Rehab and I said No No No!"

    Amy Winehouse, Rehab
    "Life is the same and it always will be,
    Easy as picking foxes from a tree"

    Marc Bolan, Solid Gold

    He was killed when his Mini reg FOX 66IL went into a tree.
    "No I dont have a gun"

    Kurt Cobain, Come as you are

    Although some maintain Kurt didn't and it was Courtney Love wot done him in.

    Kirsty MacColl sung "I hope I die before my birthday". Six years later, she was killed weeks before that very date.

    What about hits that echo real life events?

    "Castles in the Sky" by Ian Van Dahl was released not long before 9/11 and was pulled from the airwaves after it happened, and, although it was instrumental, Robert Miles' "Children" was referred to only by the name of the artist on Top of the Pops after the Dunblane massacre.

    Simon and Grafunkel's Old Friends always makes me smile, as it imagines them being old friends together, when in reality now they're old they can't stand each other!

    Si xx

    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    They way I understand it they couldn't really stand each other much back then either.


    How about The Who: "I Hope I Die Before I Get Old."

    Prophetic for Keith Moon at least...
