That always made me angry because it's so bad.

'Human' by The Killers is a massive pile of bollocks as well.

EDIT

I just saw this on Wikipedia: In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine's Smoking Section, Brandon Flowers described "Human" as "Johnny Cash meets the Pet Shop Boys".

He should get some tips from Taylor Swift, right?

suprised that awful bedrock song hasnt been mentioned yet

Lil Wayne]
She got the good good
She Michael Jackson bad
Im attracted to her
For her attractive ass
And now we murders
Because we kill time
I knock her lights out
And she still shine
I hate to see her go
But I love to watch her leave
But I keep her runnin back and forth
Like a soccer team
Cold as a winter day
Hot as a summers eve
Young money thieves
Steal your heart with ease

[Gudda Gudda]
I like the way you walkin
If your walkin my way
Im that red bull
Now lets fly away
Lets buy a place
With all kinds of space
Ill let you be the judge
And Im the case
Im Gudda Gudda
I put her under
I see me with her
No Stevie wonder
She dont even wonder
Cuz she know she bad
And I got her *****
Grocery bag


erm :lol: :lol:

Janet Jackson - Feedback:

My swag is serious
Something heavy like a first-day period


Yeah thanks for that love

I have a song called Windowpain, but it doesn't use the word in the lyrics. :shifty:

Those L.E.Ds throw their glow to the potholed ground
Snap shut as they peer out from a collar, he's wearing your lipstick
And drinking from your glass,
Inside there's a drillshot buzz through the bathroom wall
Taste it from the telephone hear it in the siren wail, write your name

In cellophane strips,
Across contours of your bloodied mouth

WOO!
See a distraction
Over the black wax
Every movement
Highlights in yellow

From kinky buses to ricket ladders
For a thousand foot tunnel and a world underground
Step out from your heavy breath crouch, breaking to the point
Pleased to meet you

Take everything she's got and wrap it in plastic wrap it in plastic
Encase it in film and take her strawberry floating back

WOO!
See a distraction
Over the black wax
Every movement
Highlights in yellow

I can see a distraction
That mounts this paramount task
And it's said with such sadness
That the thrill is sealed in black wax

This ride, so far,
Came and went, here we are,
When they find you, so far
It'll take a miracle, here we are



Aye.

Also, Brandon Flowers can go eat a dick.

I love the Black Wax lyrics because they're so gooseberry fool. Read something about it being about dreams or some gooseberry fool.

The song's lyrics, written by vocalists John Baillie Jnr and Calum Gunn are about a dream John had about the thrill of having sex on a bus made of drums (with another musician, but he won't say who) in an underground world in Paris, and trying to conserve the feeling by sealing it in a wax lined tin.

You can't stop looking me, staring at me
Be what I be, you can't stop looking at me
So get off of my face,
You can't stop clickin 'bout me
Writin' 'bout me, tweeting 'bout me,
I can't stop, it's what I gon' be,
My swagger's in check

I find most of Radiohead's lyrics to be like a jumble sale from the dictionary. In the same manner as Muse, I think most of it's 70% delivery.

We'll start over again
Grow ourselves new skin
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon

The worst, though, has to be Fran Healy from Travis.

If we turn, turn, turn turn turn,
We might learn, learn, learn
And if we turn, turn, turn turn turn,
We might learn
Learn to turn


So only through turning can we learn to turn? But if we're turning in the first place, surely we've already learned to turn? In which case, we don't need to turn any more.

Also bad:

But if you sing, sing
Sing, sing sing sing
For the love you bring
Won't mean a thing
Unless you sing
Sing sing sing


Ignoring the grammatical issues brought about by the presence of the word 'but' (he doesn't bother to explain what will happen if this person does indeed take up his suggestion) what kind of weirdo is Fran in apparently insisting that anyone who shows him affection can only do so by the power of song. Does that mean s/he has to sing all the time? Or just when s/he's 'bringing love'?

Maybe that I am blind
maybe that I won't find
The signs within my mind
Maybe that I am blind
Maybe that I am blind
maybe that I won't find
The signs within my mind
maybe that I am blind


And that's the best bit.

It gets a lot of airplay in these parts. It never fails to distress me.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.
