...but keep them short. We don't need whole song cut-and-pastes that nobody will read.

I'll start:

Blank frank is the siren, he’s the air-raid, he’s the crater
He’s on the menu, on the table, he’s the knife and he’s the waiter


Edit: Rudest typo ever!

Worse typo ever.

Gotta go with The Mars Volta

Twenty five wives in the lake tonight
Raw bark in the water of the marble shrine
Twenty five snakes pour out your eyes
Yeah the icepicks cumming on the marble shrine
Twenty five snakes are drowning
 
Video countdown cyber-phallic optics
Profligate talk shows scrounging for a topic
Rock-a-buy gravy train cradle's gonna rock me
37 million's what Larry Parker got me
World War Fourteen, my first Sony
Beatles wrote the Nike song and called it macaroni
Billy Jean Burger King chauvinist pig pen
U.S. Army only wants a few straight men

- Sheryl Crow

If I didn't know better, I'd think this was a Weird Al version of We Didn't Start the Fire
 
I smiled cuz I know I tried firing up the circuits
Can't see myself jumping double dutch cuz you know I'd smell the plastic burning.
 
Japanese God Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes
For all we know and all we care they might as well be Martians
They say gold paint on the palace gates comes from the teeth of pensioners
They're so tired of shooting protest singers
That they hardly mention us

Elvis Costello, Tokyo Storm Warning

(TSW and many other nonsense songs are part of the Suberterrain Homesick Blues genre of nonsense on parade-- the Sheryl Crow sounds like it, too.
 
Warcloud
My raps is like zoo books in the dark with misfits
Twist tank barrels in the bows, send them for Christmas

Holy crap, you're right
 
I'm screaming, I met you this way
you're nice to me like ice
in the clock they sent through a washing machine
come around, make it soon, so alone...
please, please, Baby Lemonade


I expected more from you Parcher
 
I was talking about this subject just yesterday with a friend of mine. I nominate "The Reflex" by Duran Duran:

I'm on a ride and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the roundabout
I sold the Renoir and the TV set
Don't want to be around when this gets out[...]

The reflex is an only child, he's waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does is an answer with a
Question mark
 
I am the walrus, goo goo ga chub.

Nothing else comes close except for some stuff from Stone Temple Pilots:

Your name is what it means....
 
Lennon was great at nonsence.

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
 
King Crimson:


No use to complain
If you’re caught out in the rain;
Your mother’s quite insane.
Cat food cat food cat food again.


"Cat Food"

:lol Yeah. Mother Superior jump the gun!

Stephen Malkmus is also a good nonsense-spewer:

I can see the lights open shutters
and the leaves flocked on a grid
that's what they made my hero say
nothing gets me off so completely
that when you put it down ten feet in the ground
call it response: negative home

(Pavement - Stop Breathin')
 
Inca rag/Name Game by The Fiery Furnaces.

Call on in to work quick,
Tell 'em that I'm seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeasick.
Uncle Ricky's schooner docked in Pompano Beach.
Weigh anchor, and me and him each
Need some extra sunblock. Do it for me, can't reach!
Send one by next Sunday.
Mommy mommy! Mooooooooommy!
 
there was crack on the corner and someone dead
and fire coming out of a monkey's head

@karasu - I was listening to Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice as I was reading this, and your avatar was dancing to it. Good stuff.

"Cat Food"

One of my favorite King Crimson songs.

This is from "Fucking With The Altimiter" by Brainiac:

now tell me how does paralysis feel
like you're trapped in a light beam part of the atom stream
that oozes down through the glass
but not thru me it can't penetrate my physical field
 
Any thing by

[Bizarre]
I'm at rave
Looking like a slave
High off chronic
Gin and tonic demonic
Body smelt like vomit
Pussy poppin', acid-dropping, dope heavy guy
Heroine mescaline pencilneck, wanna try
Blue pills, golden seals
Got Bizarre actin' ill
Drugs kill (Yeah, right)
Bitch I'm for real
Shut your mouth you dirty slut
You know you want it in your butt
I'll put it in your cunt
Let Bizarre nutt
 
From the middle ages:


I saw a maid milk a bull, fie, man, fie
I saw a maid milk a bull, who's the fool now
I saw a maid milk a bull, at every pull a bucket full
Thou hast well drunken, man, who's the fool now
