Horrible Lines in Songs
« 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

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

what is this Shite?
 
 Black Plastic Bag
 
 
 Who's paying your mortgage?
 Daddy's dying.
 Throw yourself on the body.
 Take out your sharp teeth.
 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, don't worry.
 Every town gets an Eiffel Tower tonight.
 Everyone is sleeping under one tonight.
