although not the worst' date=' i cringe everytime i hear Love Sick by Dylan...just for the,

"Did I.......hear someone tell a lie"

something about that line and its delivery (note the dramatic pause) reaks of cheese[/quote']

True, Dylan has penned a few howlers in his time (the line Jeez, I can't find my knees" from Visions of Johanna always sets my teeth on edge even thought the rest of the song is ace ) however even his worst lyrics must surely pale in comparison to the likes of the unctous Chris DeBurgh's "Lady in Red" though

Good point. Its all relative - a bad Dylan lyric tends to offend more due to the high quality ones that surround it...although, the shockingly bad lyrics from a lot of the dittys from The Basement Tapes just make me laugh rather than wince (see Odds and Ends)

and Chris DeBurgh? :swearing::down:

Ahh, but "The Basement Tapes" wuz never intended for public consumption - more a drunk/stoned jam session. What version of this legendary sesh do you have?

stealing and looting....

raping and shooting....

come on baby take my hand...

come and f*ck a bloke in a rock and roll band....

Bad News 1985...... or anything by FIST

Yeah, but Bad News were *meant* to be a joke. Most metal lyrics are appalling but kind of exist in a parallel universe where you kind've have to admire the cretinousness (is that a word?) or stuff like "Love Gun" by Kiss :-)

Go and post up "My Downfall's" lyrics...

My Downfall - No Way Out!

Look what you have done' date=' you have cursed me!

You've infected every part (or maybe heart?), I cry!

I can take it anymore girl! You have caused me so much pain, I cry!

You caused me to cry and it's over! NOW!

You have caused pain for me and it's over![/b']

those should be pretty right.

how heart-breakingly awful.

Those lyrics read like something that has been translated from something like Japanese into English. Truly, those were pitiful shite. The worst kind of navel-gazing 6th form pap.

Take those the fuck off now. They are not mine they are our old singers. Not mine. I don't like those either, don't worry.

Rest assured, mine are more thought out and more like proper English.
