albertjohn Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 For those of you who missed the riveting debate concerning the relative merits of the new Great Northern Railway album, Jinder used the term "Elephantine Gestation" and Nik has challenged us all to incorporate this phrase into some lyrics. Apologies to Nik for jumping in here, but even I was getting bored seeing that thread bumped to the top all of the time. So with your permission..................................... My initial instinct was to write a stereotypical reggae verse since the phrase ends in ".......tion" but I shall resist. Back to Chin Dem for some inspiration for me!

jefleppard Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 jinder, this has to be an album title. great phrase of spinal tap'ian proportions. anyway, here goes. if you think i'm a drama queen just blame it on the dramamine baby's coming, just be patient i'm like an elephantine gestation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always_Black Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 You've got your passion, you've got your pride but don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you crazy elephantine gestation's over disappear for awhile it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realize,..Vienna waits for you?

But I’m fine so fine the world is all mine Dressed in best Calvin Klein Taking my time......... asinine So we stood and we talked about temptation And the lights all went out at the bus station And we spoke on and on for the duration Longer than an elephantine gestation She makes me fine so fine the world is all mine Dressed in best Calvin Klein Taking my time......... asinine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV-Zeppelin Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Alright, let me try one: Psychic spies from China Try to steal your mind's elation Little girls from Sweden Dream of silver screen quotations And if you want these kind of dreams It's Elephantine Gestation It's the edge of the world And all of western civilization The sun may rise in the East At least it settles in the final location It's understood that Hollywood sells Elephantine Gestation Hey, this is kind of fun...

John Lee Walker Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Ok, ok, here's more verses - sing to 'Werewolves of London' - since y'all are writing whole songs hah... He sings like a hyena, his voice could peel the paint Some say he's a rock star, some would say he ain't He can sell out the arenas, don't you wanna go? You can buy a ticket but he might not even show Just go buy his CD, it took fourteen years to make I threw it in the trash can after hearing the first take Ahhh-ooh elephantine gestation... Ahhh-ooh elephantine gestation... He's all hype and glitter, with the big hair and makeup He's got lots of problems, ya know he's so messed up He takes the stage every night so stoned that he can't see He's got more dope in his system than a Walmart pharmacy Ahhh-ooh elephantine gestation Ahhh-ooh elephantine gestation The band is here but he's not there, he's nowhere to be found The crowd is getting restless, about to come unwound They sing a song of Patience waiting for him to appear They just might not hear from him for another fourteen years..
