CASSIUS IT'S OVER, CASSIUS AWAY, CASSIUS THESE DA-
BANG!
foals lyrics
are shit, they should just be an instrumental band
fuckin
AGREED
Further agreed
AWFUL lyrics that really never mean anything whatsoever.
at least
they mean nothing. they're not offensively dumb at all, just secondary. i get the impression that they don't care about the lyrics, and why should they? i don't even notice lyrics unless they are awful. i can't think of a single lyricist i like in fact, just those i hate...
afwul band altogether
i reckon they should just use sounds
rather than words. they'd be alright then.
'Well, have you heard/...
All the people clapping their hands?/ And have you seen/ All the castles made in the sand?'
... and...
'Can you hear the trumpets play?/ It's the sound of yesterday/ No way'
From 'New Technology' by Waikiki (a band in which all but one member of Howling Bells used to play). Oh Juanita Stein, I love you, but some of your lyrics are cringe-worthy. Granted, she wrote a lot of Waikiki's material when she was about sixteen, apparently, but still...
From 'jump around' - a feast of LOL
I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Try'n to play me out like as if my name was Sega
But I ain't going out like no punk bitch
Get used to one style and you know I might switch
It up up and around, then buck buck you down
Put out your head then you wake up in the Dawn of the Dead
I'm coming to get ya, coming to get ya
Spitting out lyrics homie I'll wet ya
\\WOW
I never realised that was the words.
Cool.
Better than I could have ever imagined.
those lyrics
are incredible!
:D
those lyrics are brilliant
that 'sega' lyric
actually quite clever...............
I'm gonna write a classic...
I'm gonna write it in an attic...

"And by the flower grows a weed and not the kind you smoke"
I bet they thought that was a winner
'libraries gave us power..
..then work came and made us free'
No they didn't. No it didn't. Shut up Bradfield you turd.
Nicky Wire wrote that
And it's a brilliant lyric
Agreed
ditto
Yeah man
Brilliant lyric. Here's something gash though...
"Eating pizza is really great/So is destroying everything you hate"
'Black Hole' by Be Your Own Pet. Mind you that Get Awkward album is rich pickings for shite lyrics.
i havn;t heard the song
but those lyrics own :D
*Something about toast*
^ what I thought as soon as I saw the title
from eric b+rakim paid in full
"FISH
WHICH IS MY FAVOURITE DISH"
rubbish
ive posted these lyrics before
beyond belief
sting
I've had a question that's been preying on my mind for some time
I won't be wagging my tail for one good reason
It has to be a crime
This dog house never was the place for me,
Runner up and second best just ain't my pedigree
I was so happy, just the two of us
Until this alpha male
Turned up in the January sale
He won't love you
Like I love you
It won't be long now before that puppy goes astray
And what I like about this guy the most
He'd be my favourite lamp post
Devil take the hindmost
Je sais que c'est dur, mais il faut se faire au changement, tu vois
J'ai neglige le primordial pendant trop longtemps crois moi
Je suis consciente, je vois bien que tu souffres, mais ?a s'attenuera
Car c'est d'un homme plus d'un chien don't j'ai besoin pres de moi
Cesse donc de grogner, mon choix est fait c'est comme ?a
N'en fait pas trop, ton attitude risque de t'eloigner de moi
Faut que tu comprennes, puisque tu dis m'aimer tant que ?a
Desormais nous sommes trois, lui toi et moi
It's a shaggy kind of story
Would I tell you if I thought it was a lie?
But when the cat's away the mouse will play,
I wouldn't dish around here
There's something fishy 'round here
I howl all night and I sleep all day
It takes more than biscuit, baby, to chase these blues away
I've got a long enough leash
I could almost hang myself
It's a dogs life loving you baby
But you love someone else
Now he's moved by basket
I'd like to put him in a casket
I'll wear my best collar to his funeral
Ta mauvaise foi, j'aimerais bien que ?a s'arrete
Me separer de toi, aujourd'hui ?a trotte dans ma tete
Moi non, j'en peux plus, tu n'est q'un chien, c'est trop bete
La situation m'avait pourtant l'air d'etre des pius nette
C'est clair, que je l'aime c'est un fait, ton ego?sme m'inquiete
Apres toutes ces soirees passees seuis en tete a tete
Chaque chose a une fin, et c'est la fin de la fete
Pour toi, car bient?t il n'y aura plus que lui et moi, lui et moi.
To have found this perfect life
And a perfect love so strong
Well there can't be nothing worse
Than a perfect love gone wrong
You said I wasn't just your Christmas toy
I'd always be your boy
I'd be your faithful companion
And I would follow you through every thick and thin
Don't need nobody else
And we don't need him

Fuck, that's bad.
I've never had the misfortune to hear this song.
What a cunt he is.
ha ha ha sting is such a cunt!
:D
i quite like that line

but without the money
it's still a wish
'cos I don't like to dream about getting paid
so I dig into the books of all the rhymes that I made
so here's the test to see if I got pull
hit the studio
'cos I'm paid in full.
Context is everything.
best/worst lyrics interface
"I rip it hardcore, like porno-flick bitches
I roll with groups of ghetto bastards with biscuits"
36 Chambers is massively overated
No.
-
Yes
Liquid Swords>>>>>>>>>>>>>>36 Chambers
Alright, when you put it that way.
It's still superb though.
I think it's
my 4th or 5th favourite Wu affiliated album... somewhere between good and great, I really don't get the constant bumming of it by indie boys and grrls.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
we cannot turn on 36 chambers!!
I think its because
I got 6 Feet Deep, OBFCLs and Liquid Swords before 36 Chambers. As well as because I'm way ahead of the curve and cooler than everyone else obviously.
I geniunely don't think it is THAT good
its amazing!
i think it's the album i've listened to most ever, although i do love only built for cuban linx and liquid swords and i could understand how they are better constructed albums but they don't hit in the same way.
also, gravediggaz are amazing and are always overlooked.
you're an idiot
Biscuits
When you realise that 'biscuits' means 'guns' that lyric works a hell of a lot better.
OR am I being extraordinarily patronising?
"Liar liar liar liar liar
pants on fire."
And:
"I'm so clever I'm so clever I'm so clever"
Cheers Glasvegas.
uh oh, right now i'm too young to know
how in the future it will affect e when you go
Anything by Frightened Rabbit
you're funny
BASTARD etcetc
It's fitting that one of the worst songs ever also has some of the worst lyrics ever.
25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
for a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
that the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
for whatever that means
'n so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
just to get it all out what's in my head
'n I, I'm feeling a little peculiar
'n so I wake in the morning and I step outside
'n I take a deep breath
'n I get real high
'n I scream from the top of my lungs
what's goin' on
and I say hey-ey-ey... (jodel-di-dodel...)
and I said hey what's going on
and I say hey... etc. (uh! uu-uuhu-huhuuuu...)
I said hey what's going on
and I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
in this institution
and I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray ev'ry single day
for a revolution
25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
for a destination

Life by DesRee
I'm afraid of the dark
'specially when I'm in a park
And there no one else around,
Oh I get the shivers.
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's the sign that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast and
Watch the evening news.
Chorus:
Life, oh life, oh life doo,
Doot doot dooo. Life, oh life, oh life,
Oh life doo doot doo.
I'm a superstitious girl
I'm tha worst in the world
Never walk under the ladders, I keep
A rabbit's tail. I'll take you up on the dare,
Anytime, anywhere; Name the place,
I'll be there, bungee jumping,
I don't care!
Chorus
So after all said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun, If you really want to.
Sometimes living out your dreams,
Ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world,
In a beautiful balloon.
Chorus (x2)
Doo doot doo doot. Repeat
Oh, life, oh life. Repeat.
phew
I was worried that nobody had mentioned 'life' yet.
I've never really read or paid attention to the rest of the words, but the ghost/most/toast lines are the worst ever.
no way!
i have never listened beyond the first verse. fucking awful.
beat me to it.
terrible.

"The way you do the things you do
Reminds me of my Lexus coupe"
"You must be a football coach
The way you got me playin the field"
"Now it's like murder she wrote
Once I get you out them clothes"
"Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce
Bounce Bounce Bounce (Come on)"
"Why does it always rain on me,
is it because I lied when I was seventeen"
What about
that 'sing, sing, sing' or 'turn, turn, turn' shit? I don't even know which is which.
Yeah, they're all pretty shite
Travis are just twats basically
Turbo B
from Snap's Rhythm is a Dancer
"I'm as serious as cancer when i say that rhythm is a dancer"
"I use mouthwash sometimes I floss
I've got a family and I drink cups of tea" it's weird because I can recognise the lyrics as being bad but they're still oddly endearing, it's the faux cockney accent that does it
'I love you like, a fat kid loves cake'
all hail fiddy.
a bit obvious, but still
You're an emotional wreck
You don't know who you are
You never say what you mean
And you keep your mouth shut
And your nights stay still
And then you come and call on me
You say I just can't help myself
I really really wish I could be somewhere else
than here
And I met a girl
she asked me my name
I told her what it was
She looked up at me
I tried to explain
Exactly what I lost
But now I just can't help myself
I really really wish I could be somewhere else
Than here
You give me everything I need
but i really really wish i could be somewhere else
Than here
Just anywhere else
Just anywhere else than here
And I wont forget
No I wont forget
No I wont forget
And when I saw you there it was the first time
And you just walked on by
I was catching the sparks that flew from your heels
And trying to catch your eye
But that was
somewhere else
somewhere else
somewhere else
I really really wish I could be
somewhere else
somewhere else
somewhere else
I really really wish I could be
Coz' I just can't help myself
i really really wish I could be somewhere else
than here
And no I just can't help myself
i really really wish I could
I've got everything I need
I really really wish I could be
somewhere else
somewhere else
somewhere else
I really really wish I could be
My personal Razorlight fave
"But then last night was so much fun
And now your sheets are dirty"

What a heap of shit.

she asked me my name
I told her what it was
Those aren't lyrics. That's just something that happened!

"i'd like to be under the sea
but i'd probably need a phone"
oh good ol' oasis!
surely? surely it is this:
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti
africa-toto
the Nickelback sexytime song
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While your looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease.
And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose.
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress.
And I love the way you pass the cheque
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self-respect
While you passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck.
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before, you never tried)
(Gone for good, and this is it)
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While your looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease.
And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose.
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before, you never tried)
(Gone for good, and this is it)
U2 - Elevation
High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
A corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul
I've lost all self-control
Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
A star, lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you
A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
See also: Vertigo
where he sings "one, two, three fourteen" in spanish.
haha
yeah, I nearly put Vertigo instead, but then remembered "sky, fly, high" and "mole,hole,soul".
I've actually heard that the reason he sings fourteen is that it was U2's 14th album ?
hahahaha
i had no idea this song was so pre-occupied by moles.
this is the funniest thread i have read in a long time.

I was about
to post those lyrics myself.
"You make me feel like I can fly,
So high"
I cringed the first time I ever heard that.
Met a girl, thought she was grand
fell in love, found out first hand
went well for a week or two
then it all came unglued
in a trapped trip I can't grip
never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
She fucking hates me
trust
she fucking hates me
la la la love
I tried too hard
and she tore my feelings like I had none
and ripped them away
She was queen for about an hour
after that shit got sour
she took all I ever had
no sign of guilt
no feeling of bad, no
In a trapped trip I can't grip
never thought i'd be the one who'd slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
[Chorus]
that's my story, as you see
learned my lesson and so did she
now it's over and i'm glad
'cause i'm a fool for all i've said
[Chorus]
la la la la la la la la la love
Trust
la la la la la la la la la love
Trust
and she tore my feelings like I had none
she fucking hates me
Trust
i messed my pants
when we flew over france
bad lyrics are so much better
than good lyrics, they make me smile.
the worst offenders are drum n bass mc's i reckon. at a live show they have to make up lyrics on the spot for 180 bpm music. impossible to do well, always embarrassing. how's about this clanger...
"all the girls in lycra, time to get hyper"
amazing.
obvious, but has to be done..
Screw this crap, I've had it! I ain't no mr. cool
I'm a pig, I'm a dog, so 'scuse me if I drool
I ain't gonna hurt nobody, ain't gonna cause a scene
I just need to admit that I want sugar in my tea
Hear me? Hear me? I want sugar in my tea!
