Razorlight is false sense of accomplishment wrapped in idiocy, paraded in front of our eyes. I am still waiting for someone to jump from behind the bushes and tell me this is all part of a hidden camera show. The most worthless shower of wankers ever to materialize in the UK and that´s saying something.
My favorite worst song lyric ever is from INXS's "Never Tear Us Apart."
I
I was standing
You were there
as much as i love interpol's "obstacle 1," the line, "her stories are boring and stuff" has always bothered me...
i LOVE bjork as you guys prob know but I hate the line in pagan poetry
"i love him, i love him (she loves him, she loves him)"
gahh
actually listening to vespertine right now. i really hope she plays "pagan poetry" tomorrow!
the opening lyrics of "always" by erasure makes me laugh
"open your eyes,
i see,
your eyes are open"
The worst lyrics are from The Cars, "Let's Go":
"She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes"
Shoes? What? That, by far, is the most forced rhyme I've ever heard.
the interpol lyric has always bugged me too but i'd also like to add:
If you stay too long inside my memory
I will trap you in a song tied to a melody
And I'll keep you there so you can't bother me
such a lame threat, conor. (from bright eyes - take it easy)
:D I have always HATED that line from War Pigs. "Generals gathered in their masses/Just like witches at black masses". When I hear that line I cringe - and feel like punching someone in the face: it's the worst instance of using homonyms as rhymes in music history.
Girl of sixteen,
fell in love with everything,
found new life in Jesus Christ,
Hit by car,
Ended up,
On a life support machine.
Depeche Mode, Blasphemous Rumours
Genius.
The "War Pigs" thing is because they were forced by Warner Bros. to change the lyrics. The original second line was "Bodies burning in red ashes."
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble,
So you don't confuse them with mountains
-whenever, wherever by Shakira
ok, so I know she doesn't speak English as a first language, but come on!
