An Open Letter To VH1 Viewers
I feel I should point out the following:
A. "Look at the stars, look how they shine for you" is clearly not 5th best lyric of all time. I think you know that really don't you?
B. "One life with each other, sisters, brothers" is clearly not even the best lyric in the U2 "One", let alone the best lyrics ever.
I'm prepared to admit to quite liking the song (although I think Johnny Cash performs it better than U2 do) but surely
"Have you come here for forgiveness/have you come to raise the dead/have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?" is a much better lyric. In fact I'd say the line in the poll is one of the weaker lines in the song.
In conclusion your "Nation's Favourite Lyric" poll was quite, quite rubbish. I'm sorry, I'm probably a snob for saying it but that's just the way it is.
