Taking The Piss

[Artificial Hipster]

My second post today inspired by listening to Lauren Laverne's show (and the second about The Fall). She played Touch Sensitive which contains the lines, And you're dying for a pee / So you go behind a tree.

So what other songs reference urination?

Frank Zappa complained; Why does it hurt when I pee? and also warned against eating yellow snow.

The only other one I can think off right now is Lambchop's Interrupted from What Another Man Spills which also contains possibly the longest recorded gap between words in a single line, that being; It does appear that you are tapping [pause] an ash into a puddle made from the urine of the dogs.

Pissing In The Wind - Badly Drawn Boy

Nails the reference in the title and the first line.

Something Is Sacred - Eels

Technically not about 'live' urination but the smell of urination past - but what an opening verse this is:

Taking a walk down to the mall
Smelling piss and beer and gas
That could be me in a couple years
Suckin' fumes under the highway pass
On a rainy day
While I wear newspapers for pants
And a T-shirt that says " Damn I'm good "

Condemned to Rock 'n' Roll - Manic Street Preachers

Sterile like a line of piss, motherfucker
Review with avant-garde lips, you're just a motherfucker

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Fog on the Tyne - Lindisfarne

We can swing together
We can have a wee wee
We can have a wet on the wall

Nite Club, where the beer tastes just like piss
Friday Night, Saturday Morning - Wish I had lipstick on my shirt, instead of piss stains on my shoes

[Vicarious Thrillseeker]

Beneath the old iron bridges, across the Victorian parks
And all the frightened people running home before dark
Past the Saturday morning cinema
That lies crumbling to the ground
And the piss stinking shopping centre in the new side of town
I've come to smell the seasons change, & watch the city
As the sun goes down again.

For locations, John Foxx's Underpass has to be seen as a missed opportunity.

[hobbes]

Broken glass everywhere
People pissing on the station
No they just don't care
Can't take the smell
Can't stand the noise
Got no money to move out
I guess I got no choice

New Orders Your Silent Face - "You've caught me at a bad time, so why don't you piss off".

1049 Gotho - Idles

My friend is so depressed
She wanted to have sex
I pissed in the kitchen sink
while she slowly undressed

Your attitudes are platitudes,
Just make me wanna piss"

Her recordings were great, but for the true experience you had to see her incontinence.

I go round a hotel
I see "Throw the towel on the floor"
On The Green Man
I throw it on the floor and
I piss in it (50 Year Old Man)



He had a weak pisser (Mere Pseud Mag, Ed)



The second one is a streak of piss
Leave me alone with him (Squid Lord)

[Toby Gymshorts]

A heavy dose of reality
With a side of piss & vinegar
A free drink at the bar and you'll take it
A swift kick in the ass and you'll take it

In The Sickbed of Cuchulainn by The Pogues, the patient is described recalling fond memories of his European travels:

When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in Cologne...
