Lyrics you hate thread

[JuliusHMarx]

First topic message reminder :

Not just bad lyrics, but lyrics which want to make you find the guy who wrote them and punch his face in

I'll start with Adrian Gurwitz. the song is called 'Classic'
Got to write a classic
Got to write it in an attic
Babe, I'm an addict now
An addict for your love

First of all who would write a song an immediately label it a classic. It's not a classic, it's sh!t, you egotistical tw@t
Now then, what rhymes with 'classic'? Nothing. "I know, I'll put attic" - why would you have to write it in an attic - because it's all you could come up with that remotely goes with 'classic', you kn0b!
Oh, and 'addict' sounds vaguely the same, so he threw that in as well - 'addict for your love' - crap line, d1ckhead.

Not that it's wound me up for 30 years or anything.

Right, seeing as you b'stards ignored my advice on why it's an acceptable lyric here is video evidence:

Now I know what you were wittering on about. Seen this before and it's brilliant. Careless Whisper is my favourite. Genius.

I don't like the Killers, but don't let that influence your decision Il

I'll try not to mate but it might not be easy now you've dropped that bomb.

Oasis.

They were a major part of my youth, and I had many a beered up sing-song after hours in the pub, however even back then I thought the lyrics to most of their songs were more than a little suspect.

"Are we human or are we dancer?"

Brandon flowers.

What the f*ck is all that about?

I know it was based on a quote by a politician who apparently asked that question.

Lyrics don't get much worse than this.

I despise that kind of lyric writing. The worst example is 'Hey Soul Sister' by Train:

'I believe in you, like a virgin you're Madonna, and I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind... Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair you know.'

It's the absolute laziest way of writing verse (if you can call it verse). You don't just write a line and then shoehorn something into the next line just because it rhymes, at the expense of sense or style; no, you rework the first line so that you have a rhyming second line that works better. Unless you're a tw@t.

I don't want to see a ghost
Its the thing I fear the most
I'd rather have a piece of Toast

Life by Des'ree - astonishingly bad lyrics!

 It's a terrible lyric, isn't it?

'I'm a superstitious girl,
I'm the worst in the world,
I never walk under ladders,
I keep a rabbit's tail.'

Since when are rabbit's tails lucky charms?

And then that profound chorus:

'Life,
Oh life,
Oh life,
Doo doo doo doo.'

Anything by Bruno Mars but especially that song 'Grenade'.

That song 'Heart-attack' or whatever. Falling in love is really going to cause a heart-attack? REALLY?!?
