Trav Le Bleu Posted 30 November 2010 Share Posted 30 November 2010 So Webbo thinks that If I Could Read Your Mind by Gordon Lightfoot has the worst lyrics ever. But I raise him with this beauty... Sometimes the sun goes round the moon? You'd frikking know about it if it actually ever did! Oh, it's a metaphor is it? And the symbolism is? Utter, utter tripe! And whilst I'm about it, yes, sometimes the snow DOES come down in June, in fact frequently in the southern hemisphere during winter. This song just makes me want to scream! and then there's also... which is basically just a list of modes of transport. I believe the 12" version includes the lines "you can catch the 15A from Berkley St, it runs every half hour, you can can climb the Empire State with a parachute and leap from the tower." Cackswill!

Webbo Posted 30 November 2010 Share Posted 30 November 2010 Sorry Trav that's not half as tragic as Gordon Lightfoot. If you could read my mind, loveWhat a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well I have never in my life seen a movie, old time or otherwise, 'bout a ghost from a wishing well.

Day one I first laid my eyes on you, Day two I can’t help but think of you Day three was the same as day two Day four I fell in love with you Day five you spent it with me ...Sixth day knocked me off my feet Day seven that’s when I knew spend the rest of my life with you... pretty grim.

MC Prussian Posted 1 December 2010 Share Posted 1 December 2010 James "Blunt" Blunt: "You're Beautiful" My life is brilliant. My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure. She smiled at me on the subway. She was with another man. But I won't lose no sleep on that, 'Cause I've got a plan. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you. Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by. She could see from my face that I was, Flying high, [ - video/radio edited version] fooking high, [ - CD version] And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. There must be an angel with a smile on her face, When she thought up that I should be with you. But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you.

Bellend Sebastian Posted 1 December 2010 Share Posted 1 December 2010 Morrissey's King Leer is frequently viewed as a lyrical low point in a career where the lyrics are generally one of the strengths. I quite like it myself, possibly because it mentions Tizer, which is disgusting but should be in songs more often. Your boyfriend, he Went down on one knee Well, could it be He’s only got one knee ? I tried to surprise you With vodka Or tizer I can’t quite quite remember But you didn’t thank me You didn’t even thank me Because you never do Your boyfriend, he Has the gift of the gab Or, could it be The gift of the grab ? I tried to surprise you I lay down beside you And ... nothing much happened And you didn’t phone me You didn’t even phone me Because it’s not your style To dial Your boyfriend, he Has displayed to me More than just a Real hint of cruelty I tried to surprise you I crept up behind you With a homeless chihuahua You "coo"-ed for an hour You handed him back and said : "you’ll never guess - I’m bored now" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou Posted 5 December 2010 Share Posted 5 December 2010 The lyrics to Isnt It Ironic by Alannis Morrisette are wank... thats not irony thats bad luck you stupid woman. "A traffic Jam when youre already late.... Rain on your Wedding day " etc etc - ridiculous song. Oh and 3 words by Cheryl Cole Just crap lyrics to a crap song by someone who obviously struggles to string 3 words together... I met a guy at the club I let him know i'm love I met a girl at the bar I let her know who you are. I told her you are the love of my life and One day your gonna be my wife. We are gonna have some babies together. I told him you are the man of my dreams You saved me from drowning in the streams And i know were gonna last forever. (and ever) It was those 3 words that saved my life. Its wasnt complicated wasn't pre-meditated. It wasn't under-rated boy i'm so glad you stayed and.. It was those 3 words that saved my life. It wasnt complicated wasn't pre-meditated. To you i'm dedicated. Lets go ahead and say it... I love you... I love you... I love you... You are the love of my life. (my life - my life) I love you... I love you... I love you... You are the love of my life. (my life ) You know your holin' my heart Can't nothing tear us apart? You know i'm so in love with you Can't nothing tear us apart? no. I said i-l-o-v-e-y-o-u i'm so into you girl She said m-e-t-o-o Its obvious i'm so into you boy So why don't we (we) Hold (hold) on (on) for (to) love (love). Through the ups and downs Never let go. Holdin' on forever never let go. It all started with... 3 words that saved my life. It wasnt complicated it wasnt complicated it wasnt complicated it wasnt complicated Baby its those 3 words that saved my life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zingari Posted 5 December 2010 Share Posted 5 December 2010 up the junction by squeeze I never thought it would happen With me and the girl from clapham Out on a windy common That night I ain’t forgotten When she dealt out the rations With some or other passions I said you are a lady Perhaps she said I may be We moved into a basement With thoughts of our engagement We stayed in by the telly Although the room was smelly We spent our time just kissing The railway arms we’re missing But love had got us hooked up And all our time it took up I got a job with stanley He said I’d come in handy And started me on monday So I had a bath on sunday I worked eleven hours And bought the girl some flowers She said she’d seen a doctor And nothing now could stop her I worked all through the winter The weather brass and bitter I put away a tenner Each week to make her better And when the time was ready We had to sell the telly Late evenings by the fire With little kicks inside her This morning at 4:50 I took her rather nifty Down to an incubator Where thirty minutes later She gave birth to a daughter Within a year a walker She looked just like her mother If there could be another And now she’s two years older Her mother’s with a soldier She left me when my drinking Became a proper stinging The devil came and took me From bar to street to bookie No more nights by the telly No more nights nappies smelling Alone here in the kitchen I feel there’s something missing I’d beg for some forgiveness But begging’s not my business And she won’t write a letter Although I always tell her And so it’s my assumption I’m really up the junction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trav Le Bleu Posted 8 December 2010 Author Share Posted 8 December 2010 How about "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" by Wizzard? How nonsensical. The vast majority of shops would be shut everyday and yet we would be expected to provide gifts for each other (oh and no postal service, so no ordering online!) and consume huge amounts of food and booze. Doubtless the local asian cornershops and petrol stations would do well for a time, until they themselves ran out of stock (no lorry deliveries), so that eventually families would have to send out raiding parties to scavange/pillage food and supplies wherever it can be found. Should anything breakdown you will be charged a small fortune to get some one out to fix it and yet your money will dry up as you continue to receive no wages because you haven't worked. This is what would happen if it was Christmas everyday. Civil unrest > war > death. You didn't think it out, did you Roy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
