Worst lyrics Ever

[plagiarism]

And from the man's point of view, Rupert Holmes is here to testify with "Him"

Over by the window, there's a pack of cigarettes.
Not my brand you understand,
Sometimes the girl forgets
She forgets to hide them
I know who left those smokes behind
She'll say, oh, he's just a friend,
And I'll say, oh, I'm not blind
to..

(chorus)
Him him him, what's she gonna do about him?
She's gonna have to live without him,
It's him or it's me, me me,
No one gets to get it for free
It's me or it's him.

Don't know what he looks like,
Don't know who he is.
Don't know why she thought that I
would say what's mine is his.
I dont want to own her,
But I can't let her have it both ways.
Three is one too many of us,
She leaves with me or stays
with..

(chorus)

Him him him, what's she gonna do about Him?
She's gonna have to live without him,
It's him or it's me, me me,
No one gets to get it for free
It's me or it's him.

If she wants him she can have him,
Just exactly how we once were,
Its goodbye to he and I,
and back to me and her,
Without..

(chorus)
Him, him, him, what's she gonna do about him?
She's gonna have to live without him,
It's him or it's me, me, me,
No one gets to get it for free,
Time for me to make the girl see,
It's me or it's him.

(repeat chorus)

It's like Jackie Collins and Dr. Phil wrote this

Song: I've Never Been To Me Lyrics

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

I thought about this song, but I was holding it in reserve in case anyone posted "Muskrat Love".

No, it's like Ann Colter and Pat Robertson wrote it.

It's actually worse when you hear it. She sings like she's on Valium and still manages to be completely condescending to the "little" women listening to it. Thank God the gays have taken it, i.e. "Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." Then it's campy and fun rather than puke inducing.

[Peter Venkman]

I almost forgot this couplet; probably one of the clumsiest rhymes of the NW era.

"He promises me we'll be safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers"

I love the song, but I can't listed to this line without grimacing. But probably the worst lyrics of all time belong to "I Shot John Lennon", by the Cranberries; one of their attempts at turning themselves into a neo-U2.

"It was the fearful night of December 8th.
He was returning home from the studio late.
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice.
Because in 1980, he paid the price.

John Lennon died. [X6]

With a Smith & Wesson 38,
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate.
He should have stayed at home,
He should have never cared,
And the man who took his life declared,

He said I just shot John Lennon.
He said I just shot John Lennon.

What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.

Ah, ah ah ah, ah...

I just shot John Lennon.
He said I just shot John Lennon.

What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night."

The song is pure crap, but the gunshot sound effects on the end are a genius touch.

It's probably not fair (because their not about the lyrics) but how about this gem...

I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I am adding and subtracting
I'm controlling and composing
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I am adding and subtracting
I'm controlling and composing
By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody
By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator

The phrases do have meaning, and ryhme, I guess they make more sense if your british.

Not defending the inane lyrics, but Kraftwerk wrote that song with the intent of having a interactive song to use in concert. They'd have special calculators rigged up and would hand it to some fans so they could play some of the bleeps and blips in the song. They may as well have been singing the "Hokey-Pokey".

The lyrics don't make any more sense in Deutch, either. Maybe we should just consider this Kraftwerk's "gimmick/novelty" song, and move along to the good stuff...

[quote] but Kraftwerk wrote that song with the intent of having a interactive song to use in concert.[/quote] Cool! Another great example of their innovation.

I think we can close this thread now, because I've remembered lyrics worse than any of those already posted. Take it away, Donna Summer, Richard Harris, and anyone else who has sung this song. Take it far, far away.

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again

[scramjet]

For shear lack of creativity how about Loverboy's "Hot Girls in Love"

Some say she do
Some say she don't
Some say she will
And some say she won't
Some say she can't
Well I know she can


How do they think this stuff up?

[hutter]

This guys lyrics beats everyone else's...

Elvis Costello, China Crisis and Stiff Little Fingers also use the phrase "safe as houses" in their lyrics.

I actually love this song (it's Jimmy Webb) It's very strange
Heare are his lyrics for
Paper Cup

Here inside my paper cup
Everything is looking up
On one comes in, no one goes out
Nothin' to get hung up about
I'm free and it's so easy to get by
'Cause I don't try

In my paper cup
I have installed a shower stall
Across the hall
Running water and a den
It's looking just like home again
I'm free and I've installed refrigerated air
You'd have to look inside
Before you'd know that I was there
And everybody says I'm quite insane
And someday I'll be going down the drain
I know they're right
But I feel no pain

Here inside my paper cup
Everything is looking up
On one goes out, no one comes in
It's lookin just like home again
I'm free and it's so easy to get
The things I've always wanted
'Cause I don't really want 'em anymore
Living ain't so bad without a rudder
Life is kind a groovy in the gutter
If you know how, and I do
So if you'd like to come along
We'll sing a little paper song
About a lonely paper plate
Who couldn't find a paper mate
I'm free, yes, I'm free
And my life is looking up
From inside my paper cup
And I'm always looking up
From inside my paper cup

This is certainly the most clumsy and overwrought. It's even worse to have to listen to it. Still, as bad as it is, it's way below She Loves You, Love Me Do, and Ob La Di,Ob La Da on the amateuristic crap-o-meter.

Bob Lind - Elusive Butterfly Of Love:

You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.
