Re: Worst Lyrics in the World... Ever!
I cant believe that no-one has mentioned James "rhyming" Blunt.
"You're Beautiful"
My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high, [ - video/radio edited version]
Fucking high, [ - CD version]
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
Atrocious lyrics. Just because he can ryhme and throw in the odd swear word for 'credibilty' doesnt make him a genius. I can ryhme too but I bet this doesnt sell many copies...
James Blunt
He's a cunt
He writes great lyrics
Oh no he fucking dunt

Re: Worst Lyrics in the World... Ever!
Most shitty rap music lyrics are awful, Eminem etc. Basically, think of a word, then think of another word that rhymes with it and hey presto, you're a rapper!
There was a group called Roll Deep and they had one line which really pissed me off in one of their songs called Shake a Leg:
I get randy
Do you know what'd be handy?
A little class of brandy
Now I'm skankin with big chest Mandy
What the fuck is that?

The thing is, you're really really wrong. Rap is the same as any genre, there's shit lyricists and good lyricists. So, in the same way as other genres, a lot of what you hear in the charts is watered down, brainless drivel. But I'd put Chuck D, Illmatic-era Nas, GZA and Rakim up there with Bob Dylan in the canon.

Re: Worst Lyrics in the World... Ever!
Eminem's lyrics are on the whole very good. And he also says things to a wide audience that need to be said.

Indeed. Those songs are arse. His non-wife/mother/daughter songs rule though. Mosh was fantastically powerful i thought.

Twenty years from now Eminem will be appearing on daytime TV rapping about arthritis and amnesia. I'll not remember predicting it either, as I sit with joint pains watching him on my old-fashioned plasma TV. Will TLW still be around though?

Open a soda pop, watch it fizz and pop

Open a soda pop, bop-shi-bop-shi-bop
The clock is tickin' and we can't stop
