I just remembered the worst lyric of all

I drink alone
Yeah with nobody else
You know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself.



All I can say is DUH!!!! Isn't that what alone means

ive got to go with my favourite lyric of all time by INI KAMOZE - HERE COMES THE HOTSTEPPER

"extra-ordinary, just like a straw-berry" just thats enough.

This was on the syllabus when I took A-Level music.

From Walton's Facade, words by Dame Edith Sitwell

When
Sir
Beelzebub called for his syllabub in the hotel in Hell
Where Proserpine first fell,
Blue as the gendarmerie were the waves of the sea,
(Rocking and shocking the bar-maid).
Nobody comes to give him his rum but the
Rim of the sky hippopotamus-glum
Enhances the chances to bless with a benison
Alfred Lord Tennyson crossing the bar laid
With cold vegetation from pale deputations
Of temperance workers (all signed In Memoriam)
Hoping with glory to trip up the Laureate's feet,
(Moving in classical metres) …
Like Balaclava, the lava came down from the
Roof, and the sea's blue wooden gendarmerie
Took them in charge while Beelzebub roared for his rum.
… None of them come!


To be fair, I don't think the words were meant to make sense in the classical meaning of the term![/b]

those 2 lines are totally abhorent and your post left me thinking that we must have been listening to the same radio stations recently or something, because both those lyrics have in the last couple of weeks stood out to me as naff! shame with the "africa" song because that song is a great production but how pretentious is that line??

I have a particular dislike for songs from the '70s about jeans. Most obvious contender is Neil Diamond's "Forever in Blue Jeans" but there is another one.. I'm not sure what it's called or who it's by, but it starts off by informing us that "In the morning... I put on my jeans and I feel alllright" and then into a chorus of "I put my blue jeans on" repeated over and over.
I hold these two songs responsible for me wearing mostly combats. Well and also they are better for carrying magic stuff in due to the extra pockets! :lol:

I just remembered a song I'm not sure what its called but i imagine its called 'better of alone' or 'talk to me'

'do you think your better of alone do you think your better on you own'

'talk to me ohhhh talk to me'

I heard that once and remembered the entire song because those two lines ARE THE ENTIRE SONG'

she sang those same two lines TWENTY ONE TIMES

oh and another one

'Santa clause got stuck in my chimney, stuck in my chimney, stuck in my chimney, santa clause got stuck in my chimney when he came last year.'

and that reminds me of

'so here it is Merry Christmas everybody's having fun, look to the future now its only just beguuuuuuuun'

not to mention

'last Christmas I gave you my hart but the very next day you gave it away'

and the classic

'jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock'

Come to think of it, it would be a shorter list to think of Christmas songs that are good
But when I go outside will I hear 'Fairytale of New York' by the Pouges or 'Father Christmas' by the kinks? Of course not I'll hear vapid pop c*** (not the best).

Hell there are even some halfway decent carols I wouldn't mind hearing.

I get more and more depressed every Christmas.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

i think you'll find the song is ironically called "better off alone" by Alice Deejay - a powerhouse of mid-nineties electro lyrical pop dance.

On the theme of terrible songs that have only a couple of lines:

'Music Sounds Better With You' - Stardust
'Starlight' - The Supermen Lovers

This lyric is deliberately bad when taken in context, but on its own I think it probably deserves to be in this thread:

I took the small roads out of town
And I passed a cow and the cow was brown

- Nick Cave
