Worst Lyrics in the World... Ever!

[Stu Monty]

What about thins little ditty without the brummie drone then RR?

Stop dreaming
People who say that are blaspheming
They're doing nine to five and moaning
And they don't want you succeeding when theyve blown it
And you idols - who are they?
They too dreamt about their day
Positive steps will see your goals.
Whether it's dollars or control, feel the gold.
I aint helping you climb the ladder
I'm busy climbing mine.
That's how it's been since the dawn of time
If you reach a cul-de-sac
The world turns it's back
This is you zone, it's like blackjack
He might get the ace or the top one
So organise your two's and three's into a run then you'll have fucked him son
And for that you'll be the better one
One last thing before you go though
When you feel better tommorow you'll be a hero
But never forget today. you could be back here
Things can stray
What if you see me in that window?
You won't help me I know.
That's cool, just keep walking where you go.
Carry on through the estate, stare at the geezers so they know you aint lightweight
And go see your mates
And when they don't look happy
Play them this tape

Very inspirational words there actually. Almost like a modern day YNWA. What's the track called - I might do a little downloading and give it a listen?

He's obviously talented, I just find his voice so irritating. Trouble is though I don't actually listen to him, I just hear him. That means the strong lyrics don't really get a chance to overpower the awful vocal style .

I'll try and get hold of the albums and have a listen. It's only fair.

That's called "Stay Positive" off the first album. It took me a while to get into them (and I think the current single is shite) but I really like the albums. He catches day to day stuff really well but can then pinpoint really poignant stuff too.

Right, I'm onto it now.

[RedinSweden]

Can I just add one I have heard recently. Andreas Johnson and his entry in Song for Europe in Sweden:

Staring at a photograph
Of where we used to be
When the sky was bright
And crystal clear
And life was just a breeze
Oh, well, there's something taking you over
You burned all your bridges
And left without a clue
And you wonder why these memories
Keeps staring back at you
Oh, well, now don't look over you shoulder

Chorus:
Sing for life, sing for joy
Sing for every man and woman, girl and boy
Sing a song, a simple melody
Sing out loud or just hum
Sing for moments in the past, and times to come
Sing for history and destiny
Won't you sing for me?

Standing at the station
And you don't know where to go
You're trying hard to hold on to
The world you used to know
Oh, well, don't let it get to you baby

[Chorus]

Don't look back, just keep moving on
Get your feel and walk into a different song
Don't care what they say just let the music play

Won't you sing for me?

[Chorus]

Sing for me





My god, that's bad.

[Stu Monty]

One that has been bugging me recently is from the current Editors single. It says something along the lines of "Now run with me, through this field of trees".

Now, stop me if I'm wrong, stop me if I'm wrong*, but isn't a field of trees a forest? Or at least a wood? You can have a field with a few trees in it but not 'a field of trees' that's just nonsense.

*Did you see what I did there with The Streets link?

[Moo]

Urgh, I shudder when I think of this Katie Melua song:

----------

How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

[CHORUS:]
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own...
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own...
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

----------

Good God.
Has there ever been a worse set of lyrics than that? Especially the chorus.
What a contrived load of utter cringeworthy toss.

End. Of. Thread.
(and I never say that)

it could have been a copse or perhaps even an orchard which are typically less densly planted than a wood or forest? You could defo run through an orchard.

Orchard would be a bastard to rhyme with though

[Mr Moustache]

From 2 of my fave bands - Oasis & New Order:

Baby the time is right to tell it all like it is
Now that I feel God-like, there's nothing that can't be kissed
The name of a lonely soul is scratched into my brain
He thought he was King Creole, until he found out
Until he found out

He sits upon a throne
He lives a sleazy lie
But he's all alone again, again

I can see a liar sitting by the fire
Trouble in his heart, laughing at the thought
Coming as he goes into overdose
I wonder what he thinks of me?

Baby the time is right to tell it all like it is

Trouble in his heart, laughing at the thought
Coming as he goes into overdose
I wonder what he thinks of me?

Baby you're a liar sitting by the fire
Trouble in your heart, laughing at the thought
Oh baby you're a liar sitting by the fire
Trouble in your heart, laughing at the thought
Coming as you go into overdose
I wonder what you think of me?

and

Little James, we're all the same
Always seem to look to us
We weren't meant to be grown ups
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

Live for your toys eventhough they make
Have you ever played with plasticine
Even tried the trampoline
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all
It won't be long before everyone is gone

Sailed out to sea, your mum you and me
You swam the oceans like a child
Life around us was so wild
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all
It won't be long before everyone is goneLittle James, we're all the same
Always seem to look to us
We weren't meant to be grown ups
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

Live for your toys eventhough they make
Have you ever played with plasticine
Even tried the trampoline
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all
It won't be long before everyone is gone

Sailed out to sea, your mum you and me
You swam the oceans like a child
Life around us was so wild

You make it all worthwhile to us

I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all
It won't be long before everyone is gone

Barney, what the fook where you thinking?


What does this ship bring to me
Far across the restless sea
Waiting for the sirens call
I've never seen it here before

There she ?? the lonely trail
Getting through the breaking winds
Drifting slowly from the coast
She is lost forever more

We all want some kind of love
But sometimes it's not enough
To the wall and through the door
With a stranger on the shore

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all
Cause you were not the one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

Gotta catch the midnight train
First to Paris then to Spain
Travel with a document
All across the continent

City life is flying by
The wheels are turning all around
Get on board we can't be late
Our destination cannot wait

All the stars and all the worlds
Filling up this universe
Can never be as close as us
We never shine as bright or??

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all
Cause you were not the wrong one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all
Cause you were not the one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

How many times must I lose my way, hey
How many words do I have to say, hey
What can I do just to make you see
That you're so good for a man like
A man like me

Who are those fucking cunt Americans with their take a look at my girlfriend song (badabada)?

90% of the song is about how fucking mint she's supposed to be, then they get to the chorus: Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I got (badabada), not much of a girlfriend, we never seem to get along (badabada)

Well what's it to be fuckstick is she boss or a cunt?

The genius lyrics continue: She even has her own ringtone, if that ain't love then I don't know what love is...

Oh dear. Step aside Shakespear you have been completely blown away with the most heartfelt, beautiful, articulate line in the history of romance.

Makes Mmmbop sound intelligent

Also the whole damn chorus "the saddest thing that I've ever seen was smokers outside the hospital doors"
Really? That's the saddest thing you've ever seen? Some dude having a ciggy?

Good call on the lyric but it was the English band Supertramp

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.

We have a winner! I could eat alphabet spaghetti and shit a better lyric than that.

Apparently that's how David Bowie used to come up with his song lyrics.


Almost.

[Section_31]

Iron Like a Lion in Zion

also some girls aloud classics i posted a while ago...

'I've got my one Alabamma return which will take me far away from you'

(but back again presumably, if it's a return?)

'So I grab my capuccino and coat and I'm headed for the hills above'

(why? To start a guerilla war against the invading facist hordes?)
