Lachesis:
Happy to pass it along…

She had the lyrics for “I’m Getting a Divorce” up for a while…here’s a link to that, if you’re interested:

I’ll be – I mean, I’m sure this crazy woman will be waiting to hear your reaction!
A girl
PS. Most people don’t pick up on the social commentary stuff AT ALL! You are, like, a first! 
Young 'uns, all of you.
Let’s look back to the 60s, when music was really music, and you could get great love songs, like:
I was begining to think that I could never find
The words that would make you want me.
That had the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you were driving me out of my mind.
Or the 70s, and their epic sagas:
Timothy, Timothy
Joe was lookin’ at you.
Timothy, Timothy
God, what did we do???
OK, it’s not the “worst” lyric, but one of the creepiest:
“I wanna love you, pretty young thing,” as performed by a lover of “pretty young things.”
Okay, I couldn’t leave without asking. Which circle of hell is it again where we put anything by Helen Reddy or Donna Fargo?
‘I am Woman
Hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore’
Or the ever popular
‘Funny face, I love you’?
I was watching VH1, and was reminded of another classic:
Shootin’ at the walls of heartache
Bang! Bang!
I am the warrior
Apparently, I am an “insensative TWIT”
“If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you’re not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you’d like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I’m the love that you’ve looked for
Write to me and escape.”
An aural laxative. Yuch.
what cd is ALONE AGAIN on>? i know most all of metallica, but i have never heard of alone again. please respond
“Alone Again” is not a metallica song…at least, it’s not on any of their US-released studio albums, nor the “Garage” albums. They may have played it live.
As for stupid lyrics, how about motley crue:
“You’re all I need, make you only mine
So I set you free, I had to take your life.”
Hmmmm…
“I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess you could say she was a sex fiend. Met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine.” ~ Prince
I confess…that was me, Prince. But my name’s Sarah, silly. Jeez.
“Oops…I did it again. I played with your heart. Got lost in the game…dada…heaven sent from above. Well, I’m not that innocent!” ~ Britney Spears
I don’t know if I should punch her for doing another dumb song with ellipses in the title or hug her for being so honest in that last line.
“For the strength to be strong…” ~ Christina Aguilera
Is that what strength is for? Now it all makes sense.
“Moving forward using all my breath/ Making love to you was never second best/ I saw the world thrashing all around your face/ never really knowing it was only
mesh and lace…Dream of better lives, the kind which never hate/ trapped in a state of imaginary grace/ I made a pilgrimage to save this human race/ never comprehending a race that’s long gone by” ~ Modern English
I love this song, but what the hell is it about??
“Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me/ transcending space and time…there were no words for me to find at all/ As I stood there beside myself/ I could see you and nobody else” ~Mariah Carey
About this song…
“I need love, you need love. We all really need love.” ~*NSYNC
I am not too proud to admit that I own both *NSYNC albums and I actually enjoy them, but this song and the words are so generic. You’re right boys, we all do need love. Thanks for clarifying!
Romeo and Juliet/
They never felt this we I bet
(Madonna Cherish
I know I’m a good deal younger than most folks around here, but it still surprises me that these haven’t come up.
“Love is what I got/Don’t start a riot” What I Got by Sublime. I dig the band, and I like the song, but that phrase just eats away at my soul somehow.
And any part of a gem from my Junior High days, New Age Girl, by Deadeye Dick. I don’t know which is worse, the song, or thinking that the band may have possibly taken their name from a Vonnegut novel.
Example:
“She loves me so/she hates to be alone/She don’t eat meat/But she sure likes the bone”
Or something like that. It’s been awhile.
Songs about songs are always stupid:
“I’ve been alive forever, and I worte the very first songs … I am music, and I write the songs.”
OK, so music is written by music. Oh, that makes sense.
“Song sung blue sleeping on my pillow, song sung blue, weeping like a willow.”
Apparently, songs are not only metephorically blue, but they take naps in your bed, too.
“Give me that old time rock 'n roll music.”
“Sad songs say so much…the sneak into your room.”
Just the whole idea of singing about songs is ridiculous. Here’s a song about a song I like. Duh. Just sing the song that moves you, don’t sing about the song that moves you, idiot.
Oh, yeah, any song with “yeah,” “baby,” or “girl” in it.
As an English major, I am deeply annoyed by songs containing bad grammar.
Example:
I do not remember what backstreet boys song this is, and I can’t even remember the exact wording but I think it is
“Does his gifts come from the heart”
Okay boys, I know you probably don’t write your own lyrics, but for christ’s sake even an 8th grader could tell you that the subject-verb agreement of this would be:
“Do his gifts come from the heart”
And it wouldn’t even throw the beat off for them to sing it correctly…my god that song freaking annoys me!! :mad:
But when I first read the OP, 3 words came to mind:
Tiiiiiiiiin Roof. Rusted.
Why? How does it fit in to the song? Does this mean the Love Shack is a dive? What the hell?
Okay…let me clarify. My earlier comment about a song more depressing than anything by Metallica? Not a Metallica song. And you’ll laugh when you read this (I hope). The song was “Along Again (Naturally)” by Gilber O’Sullivan. Bad 70s hit.
'In a little while from now
If I’m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
and visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top,
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it’s like when you’re shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying 'My God, that’s tough
She stood him up. No point in us remaining
We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally’
And then, of course, it goes into how his father died and his mother’s heart broke and all that happy, cheerful stuff.
Anyone who remembers this little gem will, no doubt, find the idea of Metallica covering it as amusing as I did.
So, again, to Metallica and their fans I extend my apology. Hope nobody did any extensive searching for this…
According to Pop-up Videos it doesn’t mean anything. It just sort of happened. Before I read that I thought it was a southernism for getting pregnant.
Keith
Brother’s in the back yard eating chocalate pie,
Mommy’s in the kitchen cutting daddy up to fry.
Or something like that.
OK, it’s not the worst lyric, but it is one of the creepiest:
“I wanna love you, pretty young thing,” as sung by a person who apparently does love pretty young (boy) things.
Cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
Man on the moon–since when did the greatest achievement
of 20th century exploration get reduced to a nursery tale?
I’m sure that what the writer of the song really meant was
the man IN the moon–a small thing that changes the whole
sense of the phrase.
“I need you like I need oxygen.” - Barney Bentall, “If This Is Love Why Does It Hurt So Much?”
With one word, he turned what might have been a ballad into a science lab.
