Title: Horrible Lines in Songs
Post by: jadetree on May 21, 2003, 01:40:00 pm
Bored , so here is a time wasting topic, lines in songs that make you cringe.  Two for me -
 1 - someone brought this up to me recently and now I can't listen to the song -
 
 Morrissey - More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get
 "I will be In the bar With my head On the bar"
 
 2 - Mclusky
 "got more songs than a song convention"

anytime a word is used to rhyme with itself is rather painful.
 
 I am just a sk8er boi, I said see yer later boi....
 
 An old favourite is  I am serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer
 
 A new one is, we have got 200 sofas.

that's not true. i've always enjoyed this line:
 
 "Everybody's Rapping Like It's A Commercial Actin' Like Life Is A Big Commercial"
 
 -beastie boys, pass the mic

"You were there like a blowtorch burnin'/ I was a key that could use a little turnin'"  -Soul Asylum, "Runaway Train"
Title: Re: Horrible Lines in Songs
Post by: Mobius on May 21, 2003, 02:03:00 pm
Soul Asylum's big comeback single on the album after the one with Runaway Train started with the line "They say misery loves company, we should start a company and make misery." Just painful to listen to.  With one line they killed the band.

I've actually always liked that line.  It takes me back to a warm, fuzzy place.

I came into the world as a reject
 Look into these eyes
 Then you'll see the size of the flames
 That are pullin on my past
 Burnin on my brain
 Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain
 Hey, I think about the day
 My girlie went ran with my pay
 When fellas came to play
 Now she's stuck with my homies that she fucked
 And I'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat
 
 Like a chump, hey
 
 Should I be feelin' bad?
 Should I be feelin' good?
 It's kinda sad I'm the laughing stock of the neighborhood
 And you would think that I'd be movin' on
 But I'm a sucker like I said
 Fucked up in the head, not!
 And maybe she just made a mistake
 And I should give her a break
 But my heart will ache either way
 Hey, what the hell, what you want me to say?
 I won't lie, that I can't deny
 
 I did it all for the nookie, c'mon
 The nookie, c'mon
 So you can take that cookie
 And stick it up your.. yeah!
 Stick it up your.. yeah!
 Stick it up your.. yeah!
 Stick it up your
 
 Why did it take so long?
 Why, did I wait so long, huh?
 To figure it out, but I did it
 And I'm the only one
 Underneath the sun who didn't get it
 I can't believe that I could be deceived
 By my so-called girl, but in reality
 She had a hidden agenda
 She put my tender, heart in a blender
 And still I surrender
 
 Like a chump, hey
 
 I did it all for the nookie, c'mon
 The nookie, c'mon
 So you can take that cookie
 And stick it up your.. yeah!
 Stick it up your.. yeah!
 Stick it up your.. yeah!
 Stick it up your
 
 I'm only human
 It's so easy for your friends to give you their advice
 They'll tell you, just let it go
 It's easier said than done
 I appreciate it, I do, but
 Just leave me alone
 Leave me alone
 Just leave me alone
 And nothing gonna change
 You can go away
 I'm just gonna stay here
 And always be the same
 
 I did it all for the nookie, c'mon
 The nookie, c'mon
 So you can take that cookie
 And stick it up your.. yeah!
 Stick it up your.. yeah!
 Stick it up your.. yeah!
 Stick it up your

 Line your lungs with noise then just sew it up.
 In and out is like this it's like a fist.
 You want the questions you got your answers down.
 You want the answers, you got the face fleshed out.
 The air is full of harmonies but is anyone even sleeping right?

 Every town gets an Eiffel Tower tonight.
 Everyone is sleeping under one tonight.

Oh and this
 
 Lady Came from Baltimore - by Johnny Cash
 I usually love Johnny Cash ... if you can't make it rhyme just use the
 same word.
 
 "The lady's name was Susan Moore, her daddy read the law.
 She didn't know that I was poor, and lived outside the law.
 Her daddy said I was a thief and didn't marry her for love.
 But I was Susan's true belief, and I married her for love"
 Johnny didn't write it, but he chose to sing it.

Well perhaps we won't know that you are any kind of imposter.

I have lost the passwords for the Instigator and Henry Dark.
 
 I was never the Black Nerd to begin with.
 
 I find it curious that an occasional post does pop up by the Instigator, but it's not me....must be we still have the occasional imposter.
 
 Why doesn't this new board have the option to post pictures as part of your profile?

I have to agree with you, Markie.
 
 Take, for instance, this gem from Train:
 
 Well she wants to live her life
 Then she thinks about her life
 Pulls her hair back as she screams
 I don't really wanna live this life

Yes, I second Markie.  Repeated rhymes can destroy even the best of songs once they get in your head.  One of my formerly favorite Wilco songs (A Shot In The Arm, off of Summerteeth) â??
 
 We fell in love in the key of C,
 We walked alone, down by the sea.
 
 ARRGHHHH!  How could they do this to me?

I had forgotten how badly this song by Todd Rundgren made me cringe until it came on the radio the other day...
 
 Leroy, boy, is that you?
 I thought your post-hangin' days were through,
 Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs,
 Tell no lies, you get wise,
 I tell you now we're gonna pull you through,
 There's only one thing left that we can do.
 
 We gotta get you a woman,
 It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive.
 We gotta get you a woman,
 We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now.
 
 Leroy, boy, you're my friend
 You say how and I'll say when
 Come and meet me down the street
 Take a seat, it's my treat
 You may not ever get this chance again
 That empty feeling's just about to end.
 
 Talkin' 'bout life and what it means to you,
 It don't mean nothin' if it don't run through
 I got one thing to say, you know it's true
 You got to find some time to get this thing together.
 
 Talkin' 'bout things about that special one
 They may be stupid but they sure are fun
 I'll give it to you while we're on the run
 Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause we
 Got to get together with a woman who has been around,
 One who knows better than to let you down,
 Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town,
 And that she'll take some time to get this thing together.
 
 We gotta get you a woman
 And when we're through with you,
 We'll get me one too.

Unlike you I have never thought that I might be gay.
 
 Make of that what you will.
 
 I just dont find penis sexually arousing, not even yours.
 
 I dont find need to discredit or ignore music or any other entertainment just because the person who created it has odd choices in sexual partners....
 
 I mean if I did I would never be able to listen to Boy George or Soft Cell ever again.
 
 No I mean listen to the smiths and read oscar Wilde, that is much less unhip.
