Just as the title says folks! What are the most mind-numbingly idiotic lyrics you've ever heard; lyrics so bad that a part of yourself died inside; lyrics so awful that your cat yelped off of your bed and cowered beneath it?
I do love them, so it's not really a misfortune, but I think they're undeniably ridiculous: Kraftwerk - Showroom Dummies We are standing here Exposing ourselves We are showroom dummies We are showroom dummies [...] We go into a club And there we start to dance We are showroom dummies We are showroom dummies
David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome (Own up, I'm a gnome, ain't I right, haha) "Haven't you got an 'ome to go to?" (No, we're gnomads) "Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school? you look like a rolling gnome." (No, not at the London School of Ecognomics)
Now they're staying up the chimney And we're living on caviar and honey (hooray!) Cause they're earning me lots of money Writing comedy prose for radio shows It's the-er (what?) It's the Gnome service of course
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me" Ha ha ha, oh, dear me
And then there's crap like 'Now every day aint gonna be no picnic' and 'Is it better, is it worse/Are we sitting in reverse' that make me feel actual authentic anger and despair within.
'You could be the DJ, I could be the dance floor/You could get up on me' I also find ridiculous, but it doesn't annoy me, more just of a 'Hmm, well that's no good is it' kind of thing.
I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock Your peacock, cock Your peacock, cock, cock Your peacock I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock Your peacock, cock Your peacock, cock, cock Your peacock
I just hate not being able to understand the meaning of this one :O
Cheryl Cole - Parachute
I don't need a parachute Baby, if I've got you Baby, if I've got you I don't need a parachute You're gonna catch me You're gonna catch if I fall Down, down, down
I've been Southampton but I never been to Scunthorpe...
Also:
Poppin' bottles in the ice, like a blizzard When we drink we do it right gettin' slizzard Sippin' sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6 Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6 Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6
Hell Yeaa Drink it up, drink-drink it up, When sober girls around me, they be actin' like they drunk They be actin like they drunk, actin'-actin' like they drunk When sober girls around me actin'-actin' like they drunk
He is sensible and so incredible And all my single friends are jealous He says everything I need to hear and it's like I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car And he says, you look beautiful tonight And I feel perfectly fine
But I've been screamin' and fightin' And kissin' in the rain And it's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name You're so in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and comin' undone It's a roller-coaster kinda rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you
He respects my space and never makes me wait And he calls exactly when he says he will He's close to my mother Talks business with my father He's charming and endearing, and I'm comfortable
But I've been screamin' and fightin' And kissin' in the rain And it's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name You're so in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and comin' undone It's a roller-coaster kinda rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you
He can't see the smile I'm fakin' And my heart's not breakin' 'Cause I'm not feelin' anything at all
And you were wild and crazy Just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated Got away by some mistake and now
I'll be screamin' and fightin' And kissin' in the rain It's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name I'm so in love that I acted insane And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and comin' undone It's a roller-coaster kinda rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you
And that's the way I loved you I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you
At least her new album Speak Now is a lot more mature.
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me - Charlene
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

Hahaha those are brilliant!
Uhm yeah Coldplay - Yellow:
I drew a line I drew a line for you Oh what a thing to do And it was all yellow
So basically he just drew a yellow line for someone... ?
You could be the DJ I could be the dance floor You could get up on me (On me, On me) You could be the DJ I could be the dance floor You could get up on me (On me, On me)
The club is alive with the sound of music Who’s that girl in the spotlight oo coz she turns me on 1234 The club is alive with the sound of music If it’s you in the spotlight oo girl you turn me on
JLS, say no more.
EDIT: To whoever negged me; I pity your existence if you believe these lyrics don't belong in this thread!
