Best/Worst Lyrics of All Time

Is that really a prince song? wow

 

when it comes to lyrics I am generally very impartial to Robert Hunter, the lyricist for the The Grateful Dead and now Furthur. All of his songs are poetic and beautiful.

I have to say the lyrics to Terrapin Station and Brokedown Palace are simply stellar, though I may have to add on to this list.

Terrapin Station

 

lmao...Daniel's mix CDs from high school have that song on almost every one of them. His self-proclaimed theme song. It's hilarious because he was the biggest nerd in high school.

 

That tune was number one on the country chart for 7 weeks.

Strangers by The Kinks is a true beauty.

Anything by Lil Wayne is the worst.

 

"we bout to gt nasty...pork rhinds" lil wayne

 

Ima tell you what I want, what I really really want,
yo tell me what you want, what you really really want,
if you wanna be my lovah, you got to get with my friends....

 

whoa, watch where you tread. you are about to insult the spice girls. i might have to get girl power on your ass!

 

Sad lyrics...

Even when you died
The press still hounded you
All the newspapers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

 

your obviously to old to get teh humor mind you this is from a not so hardcore rap fan.

A love song that yer grandma's used to cream their long cotton drawers over.

I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

Just...

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman

From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over and give us some room

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman

So don't you stop being a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry

For this is the beginning of forever and ever


It's time to move over...

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
Its all I wanna be is all woman


Glory Box by Portishead

 

I guess I'd better get my redneck beating stick sharpened.

 

The second and third verses of this song contain some pretty amazing lyrics. The first verse is decent too:

I always contribute The Smiths, will again

'I dreamt about you last night, and fell out of bed twice'

'You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does'

'The devil will make work for idle hands to do'

'Sometimes i'd feel more fulfilled
making Christmas cards, with the mentally ill'

'Does the body rule the mind
or does the mid rule the body
I don't know'

'When i'm lying in my bed
I think about life and I think about death
And neither one, particularly appeals to me'

'I've seen this happen, in other peoples lives
and now it's happening in mine'

'And if a double-decker bus
crashes into us
to die by your side, what a heavenly way to die'

'Poor woman, starngled in her very own bed as she read
but that's ok
because she was old, and she would have died anyway.

'Sweetness, I was only joking when I said i'd like to
smash every tooth in your head'

'I thought that if you had
An acoustic guitar
Then it meant that you were
A Protest Singer
Oh I can smile about it now
But at the time it was terrible'

'So in my bedroom in those ugly new houses
I danced my legs, down to the knees'

'Some girls are bigger than others
some girls mothers and bigger than some girls mothers.'

'I don't dream about anyone
except myself'

'So I broke into the Palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
she said: "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing
I said: "that's nothing - you should hear me play piano"'

'And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I'll tell you the story of my life'

'I tried living in the real world
Instead of a shell
But I was bored before I even began'

'Hang The DJ, hang the DJ'

'I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I'm miserable now'

'If you're so funny
then why are you on your own tonight?
and if you're so clever
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very entertaining
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very good looking
why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know, because tonight is just like any other night'

'Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says
"Oh, wherever he has gone, I have gone"'



could go on forever, I sort of did.

 

worst lyrics - All Time Low "Dear Maria. count me in."

 

"Have You Forgotten?" was written about the war in Afghanistan, NOT Iraq. Darryl Worley wrote it in the summer of 2002 & had to fight DreamWorks (his record label at the time) to release it as a single because he had just released his second album I Miss My Friend & the label wanted him to focus on promoting that album. By the time they did release "Have You Forgotten?", the war in Iraq was just starting.
