She's flirty, turned thirty
Ain't that the age a girl gets really dirty?"

  • CASSIUS IT'S OVER, CASSIUS AWAY, CASSIUS THESE DA-

    BANG!

    • foals lyrics

      are shit, they should just be an instrumental band

      • fuckin

        AGREED

        • Further agreed

          AWFUL lyrics that really never mean anything whatsoever.

          • at least

            they mean nothing. they're not offensively dumb at all, just secondary. i get the impression that they don't care about the lyrics, and why should they? i don't even notice lyrics unless they are awful. i can't think of a single lyricist i like in fact, just those i hate...

      • afwul band altogether

        • i reckon they should just use sounds

          rather than words. they'd be alright then.

  • 'Well, have you heard/...

    All the people clapping their hands?/ And have you seen/ All the castles made in the sand?'

    ... and...

    'Can you hear the trumpets play?/ It's the sound of yesterday/ No way'

    From 'New Technology' by Waikiki (a band in which all but one member of Howling Bells used to play). Oh Juanita Stein, I love you, but some of your lyrics are cringe-worthy. Granted, she wrote a lot of Waikiki's material when she was about sixteen, apparently, but still...

  • From 'jump around' - a feast of LOL

    I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
    I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop
    Or better yet a terminator
    Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
    Try'n to play me out like as if my name was Sega
    But I ain't going out like no punk bitch
    Get used to one style and you know I might switch
    It up up and around, then buck buck you down
    Put out your head then you wake up in the Dawn of the Dead
    I'm coming to get ya, coming to get ya
    Spitting out lyrics homie I'll wet ya

    • \\WOW

      I never realised that was the words.

      Cool.

      Better than I could have ever imagined.

    • those lyrics

      are incredible!

    • :D

      those lyrics are brilliant

    • that 'sega' lyric

      actually quite clever...............

  • I'm gonna write a classic...

    I'm gonna write it in an attic...

    Classic - Adrian Gurvitz

  • The Twang

    "And by the flower grows a weed and not the kind you smoke"

    • I bet they thought that was a winner

  • 'libraries gave us power..

    ..then work came and made us free'

    No they didn't. No it didn't. Shut up Bradfield you turd.

    • Nicky Wire wrote that

      And it's a brilliant lyric

    • Yeah man

      Brilliant lyric. Here's something gash though...

      "Eating pizza is really great/So is destroying everything you hate"
      'Black Hole' by Be Your Own Pet. Mind you that Get Awkward album is rich pickings for shite lyrics.

      • i havn;t heard the song

        but those lyrics own :D

  • *Something about toast*

    • ^ what I thought as soon as I saw the title

  • from eric b+rakim paid in full

    "FISH
    WHICH IS MY FAVOURITE DISH"

    rubbish

    • ive posted these lyrics before

      beyond belief
      sting

      I've had a question that's been preying on my mind for some time
      I won't be wagging my tail for one good reason
      It has to be a crime

      This dog house never was the place for me,
      Runner up and second best just ain't my pedigree
      I was so happy, just the two of us
      Until this alpha male
      Turned up in the January sale

      He won't love you
      Like I love you
      It won't be long now before that puppy goes astray
      And what I like about this guy the most
      He'd be my favourite lamp post
      Devil take the hindmost

      Je sais que c'est dur, mais il faut se faire au changement, tu vois
      J'ai neglige le primordial pendant trop longtemps crois moi
      Je suis consciente, je vois bien que tu souffres, mais ?a s'attenuera
      Car c'est d'un homme plus d'un chien don't j'ai besoin pres de moi
      Cesse donc de grogner, mon choix est fait c'est comme ?a
      N'en fait pas trop, ton attitude risque de t'eloigner de moi
      Faut que tu comprennes, puisque tu dis m'aimer tant que ?a
      Desormais nous sommes trois, lui toi et moi

      It's a shaggy kind of story
      Would I tell you if I thought it was a lie?
      But when the cat's away the mouse will play,
      I wouldn't dish around here
      There's something fishy 'round here

      I howl all night and I sleep all day
      It takes more than biscuit, baby, to chase these blues away
      I've got a long enough leash
      I could almost hang myself
      It's a dogs life loving you baby
      But you love someone else
      Now he's moved by basket
      I'd like to put him in a casket
      I'll wear my best collar to his funeral

      Ta mauvaise foi, j'aimerais bien que ?a s'arrete
      Me separer de toi, aujourd'hui ?a trotte dans ma tete
      Moi non, j'en peux plus, tu n'est q'un chien, c'est trop bete
      La situation m'avait pourtant l'air d'etre des pius nette
      C'est clair, que je l'aime c'est un fait, ton ego?sme m'inquiete
      Apres toutes ces soirees passees seuis en tete a tete
      Chaque chose a une fin, et c'est la fin de la fete
      Pour toi, car bient?t il n'y aura plus que lui et moi, lui et moi.

      To have found this perfect life
      And a perfect love so strong
      Well there can't be nothing worse
      Than a perfect love gone wrong

      You said I wasn't just your Christmas toy
      I'd always be your boy
      I'd be your faithful companion
      And I would follow you through every thick and thin
      Don't need nobody else
      And we don't need him

      • Fuck, that's bad.

        I've never had the misfortune to hear this song.

        What a cunt he is.

        • ha ha ha sting is such a cunt!

    • :D

      i quite like that line

    • ^^^

      but without the money
      it's still a wish
      'cos I don't like to dream about getting paid
      so I dig into the books of all the rhymes that I made
      so here's the test to see if I got pull
      hit the studio
      'cos I'm paid in full.

      Context is everything.

    "I rip it hardcore, like porno-flick bitches
    I roll with groups of ghetto bastards with biscuits"

    36 Chambers is massively overated

    • No.

      -

      • Yes

        Liquid Swords>>>>>>>>>>>>>>36 Chambers

        • Alright, when you put it that way.

          It's still superb though.

          • I think it's

            my 4th or 5th favourite Wu affiliated album... somewhere between good and great, I really don't get the constant bumming of it by indie boys and grrls.

            • WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

              we cannot turn on 36 chambers!!

              • I think its because

                I got 6 Feet Deep, OBFCLs and Liquid Swords before 36 Chambers. As well as because I'm way ahead of the curve and cooler than everyone else obviously.

                I geniunely don't think it is THAT good

                • its amazing!

                  i think it's the album i've listened to most ever, although i do love only built for cuban linx and liquid swords and i could understand how they are better constructed albums but they don't hit in the same way.
                  also, gravediggaz are amazing and are always overlooked.

    • you're an idiot

    • Biscuits

      When you realise that 'biscuits' means 'guns' that lyric works a hell of a lot better.

      OR am I being extraordinarily patronising?

  • "Liar liar liar liar liar

    pants on fire."

    And:

    "I'm so clever I'm so clever I'm so clever"

    • uh oh, right now i'm too young to know

  • Anything by Frightened Rabbit

  • It's fitting that one of the worst songs ever also has some of the worst lyrics ever.

    25 years of my life and still
    I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
    for a destination
    I realized quickly when I knew I should
    that the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
    for whatever that means

    'n so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
    just to get it all out what's in my head
    'n I, I'm feeling a little peculiar
    'n so I wake in the morning and I step outside
    'n I take a deep breath
    'n I get real high
    'n I scream from the top of my lungs
    what's goin' on
    and I say hey-ey-ey... (jodel-di-dodel...)
    and I said hey what's going on
    and I say hey... etc. (uh! uu-uuhu-huhuuuu...)
    I said hey what's going on

    and I try, oh my God do I try
    I try all the time
    in this institution
    and I pray, oh my God do I pray
    I pray ev'ry single day
    for a revolution

    25 years of my life and still
    I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
    for a destination

  • Life by DesRee

    I'm afraid of the dark
    'specially when I'm in a park
    And there no one else around,
    Oh I get the shivers.
    I don't want to see a ghost,
    It's the sign that I fear most
    I'd rather have a piece of toast and
    Watch the evening news.

    Chorus:
    Life, oh life, oh life doo,
    Doot doot dooo. Life, oh life, oh life,
    Oh life doo doot doo.

    I'm a superstitious girl
    I'm tha worst in the world
    Never walk under the ladders, I keep
    A rabbit's tail. I'll take you up on the dare,
    Anytime, anywhere; Name the place,
    I'll be there, bungee jumping,
    I don't care!

    Chorus

    So after all said and done
    I know I'm not the only one
    Life indeed can be fun, If you really want to.
    Sometimes living out your dreams,
    Ain't as easy as it seems
    You wanna fly around the world,
    In a beautiful balloon.

    Chorus (x2)

    Doo doot doo doot. Repeat
    Oh, life, oh life. Repeat.

    • phew

      I was worried that nobody had mentioned 'life' yet.
      I've never really read or paid attention to the rest of the words, but the ghost/most/toast lines are the worst ever.

    • no way!

      i have never listened beyond the first verse. fucking awful.

    • beat me to it.

      terrible.

  • ...

    "The way you do the things you do
    Reminds me of my Lexus coupe"

    "You must be a football coach
    The way you got me playin the field"

    "Now it's like murder she wrote
    Once I get you out them clothes"

    "Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce
    Bounce Bounce Bounce (Come on)"

    • "Why does it always rain on me,

      is it because I lied when I was seventeen"

      • What about

        that 'sing, sing, sing' or 'turn, turn, turn' shit? I don't even know which is which.

        • Yeah, they're all pretty shite

          Travis are just twats basically

  • Turbo B

    from Snap's Rhythm is a Dancer
    "I'm as serious as cancer when i say that rhythm is a dancer"

  • "I use mouthwash sometimes I floss

    I've got a family and I drink cups of tea" it's weird because I can recognise the lyrics as being bad but they're still oddly endearing, it's the faux cockney accent that does it

  • 'I love you like, a fat kid loves cake'

    all hail fiddy.

  • a bit obvious, but still

    You're an emotional wreck
    You don't know who you are
    You never say what you mean
    And you keep your mouth shut
    And your nights stay still
    And then you come and call on me

    You say I just can't help myself
    I really really wish I could be somewhere else
    than here

    And I met a girl
    she asked me my name
    I told her what it was
    She looked up at me
    I tried to explain
    Exactly what I lost

    But now I just can't help myself
    I really really wish I could be somewhere else
    Than here
    You give me everything I need
    but i really really wish i could be somewhere else
    Than here

    Just anywhere else
    Just anywhere else than here

    And I wont forget
    No I wont forget
    No I wont forget

    And when I saw you there it was the first time
    And you just walked on by
    I was catching the sparks that flew from your heels
    And trying to catch your eye

    But that was
    somewhere else
    somewhere else
    somewhere else
    I really really wish I could be
    somewhere else
    somewhere else
    somewhere else
    I really really wish I could be
    Coz' I just can't help myself
    i really really wish I could be somewhere else
    than here

    And no I just can't help myself
    i really really wish I could
    I've got everything I need
    I really really wish I could be
    somewhere else
    somewhere else
    somewhere else
    I really really wish I could be

    I know that I must do what's right

  • the Nickelback sexytime song

    I like your pants around your feet
    And I like the dirt that's on your knees
    And I like the way you still say please
    While your looking up at me
    You're like my favourite damn disease.

    And I love the places that we go
    And I love the people that you know
    And I love the way you can't say no
    Too many long lines in a row
    I love the powder on your nose.

    And now I know who you are
    It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
    (Now I did, you wonder why)
    And now I know who you are
    It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
    (Now I did, you wonder why)

    I like the freckles on your chest
    And I like the way you like me best
    And I like the way you're not impressed
    While you put me to the test
    I like the white stains on your dress.

    And I love the way you pass the cheque
    And I love the good times that you wreck
    And I love your lack of self-respect
    While you passed out on the deck
    I love my hands around your neck.

    And now I know who you are
    It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
    (Now I did, you wonder why)
    And now I know who you are
    It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
    (Now I did, you wonder why)

    I like your pants around your feet
    And I like the dirt that's on your knees
    And I like the way you still say please

    You're like my favourite damn disease.

    And I hate the places that we go
    And I hate the people that you know

  • U2 - Elevation

    High, higher than the sun
    You shoot me from a gun
    I need you to elevate me here
    A corner of your lips
    As the orbit of your hips
    Eclipse, you elevate my soul

    I've lost all self-control
    Been living like a mole
    Now going down, excavation
    I and I in the sky
    You make me feel like I can fly
    So high, elevation

    A star, lit up like a cigar
    Strung out like a guitar
    Maybe you can educate my mind
    Explain all these controls
    I can't sing but I've got soul
    The goal is elevation

    A mole, living in a hole
    Digging up my soul
    Going down, excavation
    I and I in the sky
    You make me feel like I can fly
    So high, elevation

    Love, lift me out of these blues
    Won't you tell me something true
    I believe in you

    A mole, living in a hole
    Digging up my soul now
    Going down, excavation
    I and I in the sky
    You make me feel like I can fly
    So high, elevation

    Elevation...
    Elevation...
    Elevation...
    Elevation...
    Elevation...
    Elevation...

    • See also: Vertigo

      where he sings "one, two, three fourteen" in spanish.

      • haha

        yeah, I nearly put Vertigo instead, but then remembered "sky, fly, high" and "mole,hole,soul".

        I've actually heard that the reason he sings fourteen is that it was U2's 14th album ?

    • hahahaha

      i had no idea this song was so pre-occupied by moles.

      this is the funniest thread i have read in a long time.

    • I was about

      to post those lyrics myself.

      "You make me feel like I can fly,
      So high"

      I cringed the first time I ever heard that.

  • Met a girl, thought she was grand

    fell in love, found out first hand
    went well for a week or two
    then it all came unglued

    in a trapped trip I can't grip
    never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
    then I started to realize
    I was living one big lie

    She fucking hates me
    trust
    she fucking hates me
    la la la love
    I tried too hard
    and she tore my feelings like I had none
    and ripped them away

    She was queen for about an hour
    after that shit got sour
    she took all I ever had
    no sign of guilt
    no feeling of bad, no

    In a trapped trip I can't grip
    never thought i'd be the one who'd slip
    then I started to realize
    I was living one big lie

    [Chorus]

    that's my story, as you see
    learned my lesson and so did she
    now it's over and i'm glad
    'cause i'm a fool for all i've said

    [Chorus]

    la la la la la la la la la love
    Trust
    la la la la la la la la la love
    Trust
    and she tore my feelings like I had none
    she fucking hates me

  • i messed my pants

    when we flew over france

    • bad lyrics are so much better

      than good lyrics, they make me smile.
      the worst offenders are drum n bass mc's i reckon. at a live show they have to make up lyrics on the spot for 180 bpm music. impossible to do well, always embarrassing. how's about this clanger...
      "all the girls in lycra, time to get hyper"
      amazing.

  • obvious, but has to be done..

    Screw this crap, I've had it! I ain't no mr. cool
    I'm a pig, I'm a dog, so 'scuse me if I drool
    I ain't gonna hurt nobody, ain't gonna cause a scene
    I just need to admit that I want sugar in my tea
    Hear me? Hear me? I want sugar in my tea!

    -Weezer, the Good Life

    *Preparing to man battle stations as the apologists descend upon this thread*

    • Weezer have

      terrible and cheesy lyrics. The amazing music makes up for it though, or did used to make up for it.

      Most songs from their have lyrics any 13 year old could of wrote within a day.

      • irony

        you misused "their" and incorrectly conjugated "could have written".

        so I'm left to wonder: how old are you?

  • Silverchair wrote some classics

    "No more maybes
    Your babys got rabies
    Sittin on a ball
    In th middle of the andes

    Yeah Im a freak (of nature)
    Yeah Im a freak

    If only I could be as cool as you
    As cool as you

    Body and soul Im a freak Im a freak
    Body and soul Im a freak

    Try to be different
    Well get a differnt disease
    Seems its a fashion
    To need the cold sore cream
    I dont really know
    How to put ona cool show
    As boring as they come
    Just tell me where to go

    If only I could be as cool as you

    Freak"

    • Then later on the SAME album

      "Your state of mind's improved
      But we're still apart
      I visited you'd moved
      Don't know where to start
      Your life's and open cold sore
      Got to get out of the cream
      Now I'm thinking positive
      But I know it's a dream"

      Herpes seemed to be playing on the mind of a young Daniel Johns at the time....should probably have been more concerned about arthiritis.

      • Haha thats so dark!

        Good man.

      • while were on shite 90s 'grunge'

    • they were only

      15 when they wrote that though.

      • Thats true,

        guess he wouldnt know he was going to get arthiritis at that point.

  • I was looking for a job,

    and then I found a job.

  • Particularly grating...

    That's a fact" and "I made a meal of it and stumbled. We both knew that my cookie crumbled".

          • Nickleback lyrics...

            I like your pants around your feet
            I like the dirt that's on your knees
            And I like the way you still say please
            While you're looking up at me
            You're like my favourite damn disease

            And I love the places that we go
            And I love the people that you know
            And I love the way you can't say no
            Too many long lines in a row
            I love the powder on your nose

            Ooooh
            And now I know who you are
            It wasn't that hard
            Just to figure you out
            And now I know who you are
            It wasn't that hard
            Just to figure you out

            I like the freckles on your chest
            And I like the way you like me best
            And I like the way you're not impressed,
            While you put me to the test
            I like the wine stains on your dress

            And I love the way you pass the check
            And I love the good times that you wreck
            And I love your lack of self respect
            While you're passed out on the deck
            I love my hands around your neck

            And now I know who you are
            It wasn't that hard
            Just to figure you out
            And now I know who you are
            It wasn't that hard
            Just to figure you out

  • SFA Let the wolves howl at the moon

    Got the luckies of brakes.
    Spotted buying a rake.
    (for herself)
    In the garden centre.

    • "Got the luckiest of breaks"

      and as it's Gruff and off a concept album it is therefore a genius lyric.

    • its all about

      how he sings "in the garden centre". It makes the LP

  • Glasvegas

    Something about a social worker. Ooh, gritty. Always a big Razorlight fan too, the two best ones have been covered above.

    What about "global terror, they we are at war, but I don't got time for that 'coz these bills keep dropping through my door" or the other one about how he took some drugs, took too many drugs, nearly died... I dunno, just read it on their grammar-less website once. YOU'RE A LIAR, ARCHER.

  • Coldplay - Yellow

    dreadful soppy bilge
    (sung by Tweety Pie over a rip off of Here by Pavement)

  • Abba - The Day Before You Came

    I must have left my house at eight because I always do
    My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was two
    I must have read the morning paper going into town
    And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned

    I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
    With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
    I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so; the usual place, the usual bunch
    And still, on top of this, I'm pretty sure it must have rained

    The day before you came

    I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
    And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
    I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
    Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away

    At five, I must have left; there's no exception to the rule
    A matter of routine but done it ever since I finished school
    A train back home again; undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
    Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame

    The day before you came

    Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
    And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
    I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on T.V.
    There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see

    I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
    I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then
    I must have read a while; the latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
    It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim

    The day before you came

    And turning out the light, I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
    And rattling on the roof, I must have heard the sound of rain
    The day before you came

  • Pretty much all

    of Son Of Dork's efforts, but these REALLY stand out:

    "Murdered In The Mosh"

    This one goes out to all the fakers
    You all know who you are
    It started with a girl
    Kept turning her nose up at my band
    She's into Yellow Card, Blink and Simple Plan

    It's so pathetic

    She's into Jane's Addiction
    But she don't know their songs
    And I fall over laughing when she tries to sing along
    She thinks that she's so "emo"
    Next week she'll be a "goth"
    It all amounts to nothing
    She gets murdered in the mosh

    One night I crashed at her apartment
    Her Sonic Youth CD's were nowhere to be seen
    Instead, all I found was a letter
    Her correspondence with some pop star magazine

    It's so pathetic

    She's into Jane's Addiction
    But she don't know their songs
    And I fall over laughing when she tries to sing along
    She thinks that she's so "emo"
    Next week she'll be a "goth"
    It all amounts to nothing
    She gets murdered in the mosh

    Sometimes I wonder what goes on inside her mind
    When she said she thought
    Dave Grohl had died and Kurt Cobain was still alive
    Just go to concerts that you love
    Cos there's no shame in liking Backstreet Boys

    She's into Jane's Addiction
    But she don't know their songs
    And I fall over laughing when she tries to sing along
    She thinks that she's so "emo"
    Next week she'll be a "goth"
    It all amounts to nothing
    She gets murdered in the mosh

    This one goes out to all the fakers
    Out to the critics and haters
    This one goes out to all the fakers
    You all know who you are
    Give it up
    Your friends will find out
    Now or later
    Time for change
    Just be yourself
    Don't be a faker

    TRULY LIFE AFFIRMING.

    • those 'white lies' poseurs

      sample line:
      'through the cracks in your hair'
      hair?cracks?solid mass of hair?
      they also refer in the same song to having : 'a view to a kill'.
      nice.

  • my vote goes to

    I, hate the rain and sunny weather,
    And i, hate the beach and mountains too;
    (and) I dont like a thing about the city, no, no
    And i, i, i, hate the countryside too!

    Semi-chorus
    And i, hate everything about you!
    ... everything about you!

    I, dont like a thing about your mother,
    And i, hate your daddys guts too,
    I, dont like a thing about your sister,
    cause i, i, i, think sex is overrated too.

    Chorus
    And i, get sick when Im around, i, cant stand to be around,
    I, hate everything about you!
    Everything about you,
    Everything about you,
    Everything about you!

    Some say I got a bad attitude,
    But that dont change the way I feel about you,
    And if you think this thought might bring me down,
    Look again cause I aint wearin no frown!

    I dont really care about your sister
    Forget the little bitch cause I already kissed her

    One thing that I did to your lady
    I put her on the bed and she didnt even say maybe
    I know you know everybody knows
    The way it comes, the way its gonna go
    You think its sad,
    And thats too bad,
    cause Im havin
    A ball hatin
    Every little thing about you!

    Everything about you, everything about...
    I, get sick when Im around
    I, cant stand to be around
    I, hate everything about........... you! hehe

  • Have The Others been mentioned yet?

    They bloody well should have been. What a shower of shitwords.

  • I don't know what to do

    My girlfriends test turned blue

    I try to dodge the fare
    Ticket inspectors there

    urghhh

  • I was thinking about bad lyrics the other day and thought about this:

    "Though people say we're an unlikely couple
    Doris Day and Mott the Hoople"

    It is the Eels covering a Daniel Johnston song and though I love this song, it really embarrasses to hear this. You just can't rhyme couple with Mott the Hoople.

    • I just

      read the last line and laughed so much orange juice came out of my nose.

      Wasn't even drinking.

  • Kate Nash - "I've got a family and we drink cups of tea"

    Well done dear.

  • From Feeder's "Yesterday Went Too Soon."

    "Lost another week, feeling like a leper, in a world of vanity."

    That is just offensively bad quite frankly.

  • Crazytown - Butterfly

    Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me
    The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me
    So, what ever tickles your fancy
    Girl it's you like Sid and Nancy
    So sexy....almost evil
    Talkin' about butterflies in my head
    I used to think happy endings were only in the books I read
    But you made me feel alive when I was almost dead...etc

    The really funny thing is that I seriously doubt that the singer really had read any books.

    Worst EVER coming up...

  • Coldplay - Swallowed in the sea

    I posted this on the Elbow vs Coldplay post some while back - these are truly the worst lyrics of all time. Enjoy.

    You cut me down a tree
    And brought it back to me
    And that's what made me see
    Where I was going wrong
    You put me on a shelf
    And kept me for yourself
    I can only blame myself
    You can only blame me

    And I could write a song
    A hundred miles long
    Well, that's where I belong
    And you belong to me

    And I could write it down
    Or spread it all around
    Get lost and then get found
    Or swallowed in the sea

    You put me on a line
    And hung me out to dry
    And darling that's when I
    Decided to go to see you

    You cut me down to size
    And opened up my eyes
    Made me realize
    What I could not see

    And I could write a book
    The one they'll say that shook
    The world, and then it took
    It took it back from me

    And I could write it down
    Or spread it all around
    Get lost and then get found
    And you'll come back to me
    Not swallowed in the sea

    Ooh...

    And I could write a song
    A hundred miles long
    Well, that's where I belong
    And you belong with me

    The streets you're walking on
    A thousand houses long
    Well, that's where I belong
    And you belong with me

    Oh what good is it to live
    With nothing left to give
    Forget but not forgive
    Not loving all you see

    Oh the streets you're walking on
    A thousand houses long
    Well that's where I belong
    And you belong with me
    Not swallowed in the sea

    You belong with me
    Not swallowed in the sea
    Yeah, you belong with me
    Not swallowed in the sea

  • How did I forget this one...

    "you can be my black Kate Moss tonight"

    • that the won't kill me

      can only make me stronger
      i need you to hurry up now
      cos i can't wait much longer
      you know that i've got to be right now
      cos i can't get no wronger
      man i've been waiting all night now
      that's how long i've been on ya

  • i always ALWAYS post this in these threads

    it's from Slow Jam by New Order.

    "The afternoon was very clear
    The sun was beating down on me
    I got thirsty for a beer
    That I had to go to sea
    The sea was very rough
    It made me feel sick
    But I like that kind of stuff
    It beats arithmetic"

    not only completely meaningless but full of AWFUL rhymes.

    • as much as i love new order

      Barney writes some truly awful lyrics
      "I would like a place I could call my own
      Have a conversation on the telephone"

      • The Killers

        "I've got soul, but i'm not a soldier"

        I cringe everytime i hear this

        • I've got ham...

          but I'm not a hamster.

          cue Bill Bailey quote fest. Hopefully.

        • I've got ham...

          but I'm not a hamster.

          cue Bill Bailey quote fest. Hopefully.

  • (To the tune of 'Ironic'' by Alanis Morrisette)

    It's like getting a feever/That begins with 'hay''

    It's like saying 'hey mum''/'Guess what I'm gay,''

    It's like eating pasta/ and saying 'no way''

    Weeelllcommme, to Coronation Street

    (these were by some dick I used to know called Adam Keppel)

  • About 75% of A Weekend In The City

    And any time Oasis rhyme far, car, star and Jaguar

  • Joan Osborne - One of Us

    What if god was one of us
    Just a slob like one of us
    Just a stranger on the bus
    Trying to make his way home
    Just trying to make his way home
    Like a holy rolling stone
    Back up to heaven all alone
    Just trying to make his way home
    Nobody calling on the phone
    Except for the pope maybe in Rome

    The last two lines in particular have to be among the most cringeworthy ever.

  • "News guy wept and told us,

    Earth was really dying,
    He cried so much his face was wet..."

    Always sort of grated on me.

  • "If you try to knock me you'll get mocked

    I'ma stir fry you in my wok"

    or something along those lines

  • that's not my name

    that's not my name. that's not my name. that's not my name. that's not my name.

    .. we get it??????

    • Another Nickelback classic:

      He's drunk again, it's time to fight
      She must have done something wrong tonight
      The living room becomes a boxing ring
      It's time to run when you see him
      Clenching his fists
      She's just a woman
      Never again

      I hear a scream, from down the hall
      Amazing she can even talk at all
      She cries to me, Go back to bed
      I'm terrified that she'll wind up
      Dead in his hands, She's just a woman
      Never again

      Been there before, but not like this
      Seen it before, but not like this
      Never before have I ever
      Seen it this bad
      She's just a woman
      Never again

      Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell
      It starts to sting as it starts to swell
      She looks at you, she wants the truth
      It's right out there in the waiting room
      With those hands
      Lookin just as sweet as he can
      Never again

      Seen it before, but not like this
      Been there before, but not like this
      Never before have I ever
      Seen it this bad
      She's just a woman
      Well never again
      Never again

      Father's a name you haven't earned yet
      You're just a child with a temper
      Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"?
      Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure

      He's drunk again, it's time to fight
      The Same old shit, just on a different night
      She grabs the gun, she's had enough
      Tonight she'll find out how fuckin'
      Tough is this man
      Pulls the trigger fast as she can
      Never again

      Seen it before, but not like this
      Been there before, but not like this
      Never before have I ever
      Seen it this bad
      She's just a woman
      Never again

      Seen it before, but not like this
      Been there before, but not like this
      Never before have I ever
      Seen it this bad
      She's just a woman
      Never again
      Never again
      Never again
      Never again

  • most anything by the white stripes

    And it makes me want to scream
    When it's halloween
    And the kids are laughing

  • Tyler, do your worst

    Pink it´s my new obsession
    Pink it´s not even a question
    Pink on the lips of your lover, ´cause
    Pink is the love you discover
    Pink as the bing on your cherry
    Pink ´cause you are so very
    Pink it´s the color of passion
    `Cause today it just goes with the fashion
    Pink it was love at first sight, yea
    Pink when I turn out the light, and
    Pink gets me high as a kite
    And I think everything is going to be all right
    No matter what we do tonight
    You could be my flamingo
    ´Coz pink is the new kinda lingo
    Pink like a deco umbrella
    It´s kink - but you don´t ever tell her
    Pink it was love at first sight
    Pink when I turn out the light
    Pink gets me high as a kite
    And I think everything is going to be all right
    No matter what we do tonight
    I want to be your lover
    I wanna wrap you in rubber
    As pink as the sheets that we lay on
    Pink is my favorite crayon, yeah
    Pink it was love at first sight
    Pink when I turn out the light
    Pink it´s like red but not quite
    And I think everything is going to be all right
    No matter what we do tonight

    • havent looked through

      to see if anyone else has said this (sorry!) but radio one were doing this earlier, and getting people to send in worst lyrics from recent songs...and then proceeded to play all said songs (nickelback, wombats etc..) with no irony at all...was quite amusing

    • That song ^

      Genius.

      Especially the line "Pink as the bing on your cherry."

      • OH GOD

        I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN THIS SONG EXISTED.

      • Ahead of

        grown man Steven Tyler claiming to have a favourite crayon colour?

  • so glad i'm the first to post this:

    Coach said to fake right
    And break left
    Watch out for the pick
    And keep an eye on defense
    Gotta run the give and go
    And take the ball to the hole
    But don't be afraid
    To shoot the outside "J"

    Just keep ya head in the game
    Just keep ya head in the game

    And don't be afraid
    To shoot the outside "J"
    Just keep ya head in the game

    U gotta
    Get'cha get'cha head in the game
    We gotta
    Get our, get our, get our, get our head in the game
    (repeat 3x)

    Let's make sure
    That we get the rebound
    'Cause when we get it
    Then the crowd will go wild
    A second chance
    Gotta grab it and go
    Maybe this time
    We'll hit the right notes

    Wait a minute
    It's not the time or place
    Wait a minute
    Get my head in the game
    Wait a minute
    Get my head in the game
    Wait a minute
    Wait a minute

    I gotta
    Get my, get my head in the game
    You gotta
    Get'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha head in the game
    (repeat 3x)

    Why am I feeling so wrong
    My head's in the game
    But my heart's in the song
    She makes this feel so right

    Should I got for it
    Better shake this, yikes!

    I gotta
    Get my, get my head in the game
    You gotta
    Get'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha head in the game
    (repeat 4x)

    From the Steven Segal classic - "Talk To My Ass"

    I woke up this mornin’ and I asked my baby to fix me some scrambled eggs
    I woke up this mornin’ and I asked my baby to fix me some scrambled eggs
    Well she looked at me kinda surprised
    And she said baby, you got your own two pair a legs

    I went to bed last night, I tried to give my baby some love
    I went to bed last night, I tried to give my baby some love
    Well she looked at me kinda surprised and she said
    Baby you got your own two pair a hands
    but you ain't got no glove

    chorus

    But thank you
    for reminding me I got my own two pair of legs
    oh and thank you
    for reminding me I got my own two hands
    but it seem like I got a new set of plans
    I cant have no compromise
    I hate to break it to you
    but I got my own two pair a eyes

    I went down to see my mama
    and I told my mama my situation
    she said son it sound like you need some excavation in your habitation
    she said love goin’ to have to have some give and take
    if you can’t have that you gonna have nothing but heart break

    I went back home last night
    I told my baby to get on up the road

    Well she looked at me kinda surprised
    Suddenly she not so cold
    I told her I cant have no more sass
    and from now on she can talk to my ass

  • Black Sabbath

    you know the one

    • GENERALS GATHER IN THEIR MASSEEEESSS

      JUST LIKE WITCHES AT BLACK MASSEEEEEESSS

      • Precisely so

        I flash the horned devil fingers in your honour.

  • How about

    His name was Perry
    He had a learning difficulty
    His father was a very mean man
    His father burned his skin
    His father sent him to his death
    He was ten years old
    He was ten years old
    He was ten years old

    Her name was Naomi
    Beautiful round face, so ashamed
    Told me how to please a man
    After school in the back of a bus
    She was doing it every day
    She was eleven years old
    She was eleven years old
    She was eleven years old

    Her name was Sheryl
    Black hair, like an electric space
    She would pretty paint my face
    She was a very good friend
    Her father would come to her in the night
    She was twelve years old
    She was twelve years old
    She was twelve years old

    His name was Donovan
    He was a very good friend
    The cards were stacked against him
    He was selling cocaine
    The last time I saw him
    He was thirteen years old
    He was thirteen years old
    He was thirteen years old

    His name was Charles
    He said he was in love with me
    We were both fourteen
    Then I had to move away
    Then he began to smoke crack
    Then he had to sell ass
    I don't know where he is
    I don't know where they are

    And I thought Cat Power could do no wrong.

    Sickeningly bad

  • His name was Perry, he had a learning difficulty

    in particular. Worse than Chris Martin's attempts at rhyming

    • Has anyone heard Red Angel Dragnet by The Clash?

      Paul Simonon "sings" it in the style of someone from The Bill doing Travis Bickle.

      Contains the absolute cracker;

      "Person-ALLY/
      I know the ALLEY!"

  • Hinder, anyone?

    Honey why you calling me so late?
    It's kinda hard to talk right now.
    Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
    I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

    Well, my girl's in the next room
    Sometimes I wish she was you
    I guess we never really moved on
    It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
    It sounds so sweet
    Coming from the lips of an angel
    Hearing those words it makes me weak

    And I never wanna say goodbye
    But girl you make it hard to be faithful
    With the lips of an angel

  • des'ree - life

    Yeah! Oh yeah! Oh life! Oh life!

    I'm afraid of the dark
    Especially when I'm in a park
    And there's no one else around,
    Oh I get the shivers.
    I don't want to see a ghost,
    It's the sight that I fear most
    I'd rather have a piece of toast
    And watch the evening news.

    Chorus:
    Life, oh life! Oh life! Oh life! doo,
    Doot doot dooo... Life, oh life! Oh life!
    Oh life! doo doot doo

    I'm a superstitious girl
    I'm the worst in the world
    Never walk under the ladders,
    I keep a rabbit's tail.
    I'll take you up on the dare,
    Anytime, anywhere;
    Name the place,
    I'll be there,
    Bungee jumping, I don't care!

    Chorus

    Life! Doo doo doo doo doo...

    So after all said and done
    I know I'm not the only one
    Life indeed can be fun,
    If you really want to.
    Sometimes living out your dreams,
    Ain't as easy as it seems
    You wanna fly around the world,
    In a beautiful balloon.

    Chorus (2x)

    Doo doot doo doot. Repeat
    Oh, life, oh life! Repeat till fade

  • Sorry

    If this has already been posted - fat bassist from Korn anyone?
    Alone at home, laying in my bed
    Hearing voices in my head, leave me alone
    I can't cope with the pain
    (Helluva:) Do you feel insane, Do you crave for pain?
    Nope there's other dope, Zanex Valium, Vicadin, and Speed
    I'd rather smoke weed
    (Helluva: I'm the best in the west, no stress, sticks, stills, seeds)
    Fulfilling my needs, Fieldy's dreams
    Searching for some weed
    Ain't never gunna stop (never gunna stop), till the day that I drop
    (Helluva: Drop it like it's hot, at 12 o' clock on the dot, meet me at our corner spot)
    Hell yeah, you're the best I ever bought, this couldn't be a sin
    (Helluva: gotta go) Don't leave me again
    (Helluva: from mother earth I grow, light green and pure ,
    you're a marijuana coinsurer, and I'm sure)
    Then I'm gunna stay high, with this tilted grin, how could I lie?

    Smoking on the ganga, smoke when I wanna
    you need pretty leaf, hella fine wamma
    marijuana sauna, hot box momma, sweet queen leaf
    smell the aroma, sweet as my momma, take away my drama
    The key to be free is to smoke on the ganga
    Smoke when I wanna, marijuana momma
    falling for these trees, I'm in love with marijuana

    Fieldy's dreams come true when I'm smoking on you
    Ain't no weed got no voice
    (Helluva: Come get and me if you want to)
    Do I have a choice?
    (Helluva: No, I'm the dope, that will make you choke and broke,
    from the ends of your thoughts, before me you were the shit, now you dalajo)
    Any time, any place, I'll smoke a toke,
    in your face, till I croak, ain't no joke, vicadin gets you in
    (Helluva: Do you love the way I taste?) so-weet
    (Helluva: I'm the Queen of the crop, blow me in your drop, I'm that bitch you love,
    and I'm only a bud, black dominya, fat sweet tooth inda cut, so-ya teva, Jamaican sansamia)
    I love to smoke the back, where you always please me
    taste good, look good, smell good
    you make me feel good, you set my head straight
    never though I could fall in love on the first date

    Smoking on the ganga, smoke when I wanna
    you need pretty leaf, hella fine wamma
    marijuana sauna, hot box momma, sweet queen leaf
    smell the aroma, sweet as my momma, take away my drama
    The key to be free is to smoke on the ganga
    Smoke when I wanna, marijuana momma
    falling for these trees, I'm in love with marijuana

    Smoking on the ganga, smoke when I wanna
    you need pretty leaf, hella fine wamma
    marijuana sauna, hot box momma, sweet queen leaf
    smell the aroma, sweet as my momma, take away my drama
    The key to be free is to smoke on the ganga
    Smoke when I wanna, marijuana momma
    falling for these trees, I'm in love with marijuana

    • The feeling - Rose

      Don't let him put you down
      I won't let him put you down
      'Cos your as good as the rest
      And you're much better dressed
      I think pink is my colour
      I wont drink from no other
      Never!

      Drink from no other?....too much.

      • I think I post this once a year by law

        Cast-=
        "you've got to fly
        you've got to fly
        you've got to fly
        it's just like flying through the air
        you can make it if you dare
        it's just like flying through the air"

        the only man to compare flying to...flying

        "what's flying like John power?"

        Also the Lenny Kravitzs (sic(k)) one-

        "I wish that I could fly...so very high...like a butterfly"

        and my personal favourite from the same work-

        "Let's go and see the stars
        The milky way or even Mars"

        what? Even Mars Lenny? Amazing- the mere fact that of all the stars we could visit and all the miriad galaxies you've chosen a planet that's comparitivelty next door?

        That paucity of imaginiation is the real crime here

  • can't believe nobodys mentioned

    "Nothing" by 'A'

    "nothing
    and nothings what you've got when you aint got something"

    worst opening line ever.

    also Pumpkin Soup by Kate Nash is a travisty to music

    • oh and greened day

      I aparaphrase here-

      "I walk the lonely road
      the lonely road of life
      and I walk alone"

      that's alot of alone there, on a lonley road and you're alone

      • can we throw in

        the end entire Green Day backcatalogue

        "i want to be the minority
        i dont need your majority"

        oh sorry. your a white middle class american being punk who decides to make a stand against bush a year after everyone else did it. Minority ftw.

      • I swear he says
