I just thought about this after listening to Paradise Circus by Massive Attack the other night. It's also the theme tune to the BBC1 drama Luther.

imo it's a great track. I love the music and don't mind the vocals and the lyrics start of quite powerful.

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable
oh well the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.

Love is like a sin my love
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you, again
What?
Maybe i'm missing the context of it or it's too deep for me to understand or i'm missing the logic of it or maybe, like I initially thought, they just shot in a line because they couldn't think of anything else


Any other songs that you really like but always have a doubt about it when it comes to one word or line of the lyrics?

Kesha's 'Your Love Is My Drug' is a great song apart from the end where she says 'I like your beard'. Stupid, pointless and so annoying!

GaGa's 'Boysboysboys' I always cringe at this line:

I find Gaga's constant use of 'cherry pie' quite annoying. Don't get me wrong I love her, but it's just a rubbish lyrics

Usher - O.M.G:
never ever has a lady hit me on the first sight
this was something special ; this was just like dynamite
honey got a booty like pow, pow, pow
honey got some boobies like wow, oh wow
Good, catchy song. But that part ruins it slightly.

In almost all her songs she also mentions the word cigarette!

Christina Aguileras new one, the line "I'm taking shots and I'm feeling fine" is embarrassing!

No way! it gets tedious after a while but it's quite funny how I can't say his name anymore without singing it

^ Justin Timberlake sings 'me' like that as well in 'It's Gonna Be Me' (NSYNC).

DWYCK - Gang Starr...

Guru, one of hip-hop's most influential lyricists will forever be remembered by the lyric "Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is, I got more props and stunts than Bruce Willis."

also The Militia by Gang Starr - Freddy Foxx rasps out the most biting vicious thug verse that should send shivers down your spine till he spits..."I'm the illest MC, dead or alive, Gloria Gaynor all you motherf*ckers, I will survive." gloria gaynor, wtF?!?! thug as fcuk!

I'll think of loads more, in a mo...

It's just a throw-away jokey comment she makes at the end of the track, nothing to get so angry about.

Probably sounds like that because her voice has been through the autotune mincer.

it is annoying though. I don't know why they don't just let her sing.

Easy Q on Derek B's - Get Down Kinda makes me cringe...Espescially verse 3 with his story about pulling the lass "Excuse me WHAT?! is your name" but in a good way, it was UK hiphop back in the 80s, pioneering stuff

The whole song is rubbish by the way he says tw*t on blink182 - family reunion makes me want to commit murders (lyrics nsfw)

Oh I have hundreds of these that will come to me as the evening goes on.

Off the top of my head Republic of Loose "You know" where he says
"You kinda remind me of bugs bunny"
I imagine some really ugly girl with puffy cheeks and bucked teeth.

Ruins an otherwise perfect song.

Fergie - Big Girls Don't cry, with the "I'm gonna miss you like a child misses her blanket"
For some reason, that line always annoys me

Laziest chorus Noel Gallagher has ever written

"So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day."
