Songs Featuring “portly”

Roger Waters - Part Of Me Died

Time: 1:32

Mute, indifferent, feeling no shame

Portly, important, leering, deranged

Sat in the corner watching TV

Roger Waters - Part Of Me Died

Beauty School - Take It Slow

Time: 0:23

Gather round, old familiar

The portly stains of twelve years today

It seems the same, my shelves are failing

Beauty School - Take It Slow

Aesop Rock - Cycles to Gehenna

Time: 2:12

Who knew that any moment he could lose it to the decopaged suicide flooring

And still he keep his fuel tank portly

The 30 odd year old gears thank Charlie

Aesop Rock - Cycles to Gehenna

Frank Zappa - Once upon a Time

Time: 0:51

I am not kiddin'

I mean, I am portly and I am maroon

Well, how many people here tonight can guess what I am?

Frank Zappa - Once upon a Time

The Fall - Eat Y'self Fitter

Time: 5:03

(Eat y'self fitter)

Portly and with good grace

The secret straight-back ogre entered

The Fall - Eat Y'self Fitter

The Heavy Hittas - The Bacon Bandit

Time: 2:02

He swung we ducked the fire roared high

Portly caught that bacon bag flyin' by

I hit him clean knocked out the trash

The Heavy Hittas - The Bacon Bandit
