Worst Lyrics Ever?

Silverchair - Tomorrow

'there is no bathroom

and there is no sink

the water out of the tap

is very hard to drink'

Silverchair lyrics are almost exclusively shite. Remember that song "Freak"?

"No more maybe's

Your baby's got rabies

You living in a hole

In the the middle of the Andes"

I don't think I've heard that song more than a handful of times but that verse has been stuck in my head for years. Also, ALL Oasis lyrics are nonsensical garbage.

Nae the worst ever but Interpol have some excruciatingly bad lyrics:

"You make me want to pick up a guitar and celebrate the myriad ways that I love you."

For some reason I can't think of any others but I will, since I hate pretty much all lyrics ever.

There are about a million worse Interpol lyrics than that, for example:

"My best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives

He carries them all over the town at least he tries,

Oh look it stopped snowing

My best friend's from Poland and, um, he has a beard."

There's not much that can top the genius of R Kelly's masterpiece "Trapped in the Closet"...

The whole series of videos are on Youtube. Just brilliant.

Why's that in a thread about worst lyrics? It's fucking genius.

Desree's Life has to be the biggest pile of steaming lyrical excrement to ever grace the charts.

Oh dear I actually like that one :O

"Her stories are boring and stuff

She's always calling my bluff."

That, on the other hand, physically hurts me.

Most cringeworthy that I've heard recentlyish would be anything by The Feeling. But especially in the chorus of 'love it when you call' or whatever the hell it's called. As though the song isn't bad enough, then they chip in:

He loves it when you call x3

But you never call at all

Aaaarrrgggg!!! As cringeworthy as it gets!

Teabags:

Gorey nonsense oesn't have to go hand in hand with death metal. Look at Nile. They're fucking ace with their lyrics

lets look at some nile lyrics from the new album

'anoint my phallus, with the blood of the fallen'

or the age old classic

'masturbating the war god' which is all about the ceremony that involved impaling the women of a rival tribe/clan onto the phallus of a concrete statue of the war god, till they split and their entrails are running down it....

pretty gore if you ask me, yes they use their egyptian theme extremely well and i love nile, but its still gore based lyrics, mainly about the brutality surrounding myths/legends in ancient egyptian society.

A special shout to Alannis Morrisette and her non-ironic lyrics in "Ironic".

:up: - toe-curling - especially the verse about the plane...

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

And as the plane crashed down he thought

"Well isn't this nice..."

"Well isn't this nice..."??? - what a cheap, unimaginative, cop-out last line.

When it was in the charts, I remember some Professor of Philosphy somewhere saying that "there's no irony in these stories, they're just a series of bummers"

Eloquently put I thought!
