no, it's the same as most genres- there's a lot of crap and it tends to be quite popular as it's accessible for the idiot masses

Anyway- Kiss, Crazy Nights
"The sun goes down
like a bad bad dream
you're wound up tight
gotta let off steam"

Ahh cliches

The Killers- All These Things I've Done
"I got soul but I'm not a soldier"

Just shut up, please

Roads- Backyard Babies
"Life is a road
that is winding and dark
but I swear, cross my heart
So are you"

Since when are people winding and dark, you crazy Swedes

I will probably be back with more later, I love stupid lyrics

As much as I love 'em, the first couple of lines in REM's "Losing My Religion" always have me in first of laughter:

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you,
And you are not me.



I've tried my hardest to get my head round those lyrics, but they're just plain silly, IMHO.

"In this ever changing world in which we live in."

- Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney & Wings

Very poor use of English.

Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold Lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze
Love is a fire of flaming brandy
Upon a crepe suzette
Let's get this romance cooking, honey
But let us not forget

And it is said that Godley, Creme Stewart & Gouldman were good song writers.

Gilbert O'Sullivan - Matrimony

I've no wish to hurry you luv
But have you seen the time
It's quarter to ten and we're supposed to be there
at nine
I don't think the registrar
Will be very pleased
When we show up an hour late
Like two frozen peas

Let me take you to an island of the sweet cool breeze
You don't fell like drive baby hand me the keys
And I'll take you to a place to set your mind at ease
Don't you tickle my foot bottom ha ha baby please

Well you a the bun and me a the cheese
And if me a the rice well you a the peas

I love this silly sentence from a song by the Bolshoi (no not the ballet the '80s goth band) called Books On The Bonfire

Action Man's gone to the cleaners Barbie is working the streets they took her in with a handful of sweets

The Beatles- Lady Madonna

Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun.

Do nuns creep?

I think I have found the winner - for a pure and absolute rendition of pretentious teenaged angst:

Hello there,
the angel from my nightmare,
the shadow in the background of the morgue.
The unsuspecting victim,
of darkness in the valley,
we can live like Jack and Sally if we want,
where you can always find me.
We'll have Halloween on Christmas.
And in the night we'll wish this never ends,
we'll wish this never ends...
(miss you miss you)
(miss you miss you)

Where are you,
and i'm so sorry,
I cannot sleep i cannot dream tonight!
I need somebody and always,
This sick strange darkness
comes creeping on so haunting everytime.
And as i stared i counted, the webs from all the spiders, catching fiends and eating their in sides.
Like indecision to call you,
and hear your voice of treason,
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?
Stop this pain tonight.


Dont waste your time on me you're already the voice in side my head!
(miss you miss you)

Dont waste your time on me you're already the voice in side my head!
(miss you miss you)

Dont waste your time on me you're already the voice in side my head!
(miss you miss you)

Dont waste your time on me you're already the voice in side my head!
(miss you miss you)

Dont waste your time on me you're already the voice in side my head!
(miss you miss you)

Dont waste your time on me you're already the voice in side my head!
(miss you miss you)

(miss you miss you)

(miss you miss you)

(miss you miss you)

(miss you miss you)


I particularly like the enboldened bit, the fact that they ran out of prentious ideas so repeated to fade and especially that when they sang the chorus they turned the word "head" into "yead".

Fabulous.

Watch out for fiends-insides eating spiders, people.

RHCP - All around the world

Come back baby
'Cause I'd like to say
I've been around the world
Back from Bombay

Fox hole love
Pie in your face
Living in and out
Of a big fat suitcase

Bonafide ride
Step aside my Johnson
Yes I could
In the woods of Wisconsin

Wake up the cake
It's a lake she's kissin' me
As they do when
When they do in Sicily

Love the RHCP, but I often think to myself WTF are they on about?!

How ironic is that?

“there is a fundamental incongruity in a song titled "Ironic" which ultimately contains no irony”

That actually makes sense in the context of the whole song.
everything is a Substitute for something else.

That is still 6 3/4 albums too many.

One good song and video "What I go to school for" and the rest was a whole heap of shite.

Erm... tell me if I'm wrong but living underwater is a massive change, isn't it?
I always thought that was ridiculous.

Alas, the worst from Busted was yet to come.

Air Hostess contains the lines:

"The cabin pressure's rising,
My Coke has got no ice in."

And if that wasn't enough, the same song also has:

"I messed my pants,
When we flew over France."

Genius.

Something that has always irritated me is the line (repeated a number of times throughout the song) in Savage Garden's Affirmation:

"I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side."

No more greener? It doesn't make any grammatical sense.

They were everso disappointed when they realised that instead of getting what is known as a "bascule bridge" (the machinery used for lifting the bridges, they were just getting an ordinary span bridge with no towers or overhead walkways!!

Tower Bridge is built next to the Tower of London
London Bridge (the new one ) is a little bit further along.
spot

the difference

Go to Google and type in London Bridge
the majority of answers will bring up features and images Tower Bridge!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! GOOGLE!!!!!

and back to stupid lyrics

could someone explain these to me??

Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body



<snipped>

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel you boy
Come on lets go, real slow
Don't you see baby asi es perfecto

Oh I know I am on tonight my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
Shakira, Shakira

Oh boy, I can see your body moving
Half animal, half man
I don't, don't really know what I'm doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I am doing what I can, but I can't so you know
That's a bit too hard to explain

Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día

Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You know you got me hypnotized
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

Senorita, feel the conga, let me see you move like you come from Colombia

Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así

Yeah
She's so sexy every man's fantasy a refugee like me back with the Fugees from a 3rd world country
I go back like when 'pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
I need a whole club dizzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
No more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our own boats


I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel you boy
Come on let's go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto

Oh, you know I am on tonight and my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection

No fighting
No fighting



eh??

My personal favourite - 'wave your hands in the air like you just don't care'. Not a particularly stupid sentence, just chuffin' annoying!

Oh and that thong song - 'let me see that tho-o-ong, baby. That thong th thong thong thong'. Pants indeed

What in the sense of American werewolf in London/Michael Jackson's Thriller.

You don't really know what you're doing Shakira?
I'd be outta there faster than a rat up a drain pipe.

Two classics spring to mind. Firstly from the London Boys 'London Nights'-

Give a little love-I walk throught the city,
Give a little love-There's food in the air

Des'ree 'What's your sign?'...the whole song is a disaster-

'Snake' by R. Kelly. It breaks in the middle, where he sings the line: 'Like two gorillas in the jungle making love'. Uggh, it's NOT sexy and it's not a thought I'd like to imagine.

'Wherever Whenever' by Shakira. Love the song but: 'Lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains'...how daft!
