Worst song lyric...ever?

[swee'pea99]

Driving back from walking the dog, I suddenly heard warbling out of the speakers: "I don't want to see a ghost, It's the sight that I fear most, I'd rather have a piece of toast." Somewhat disbelieving, and still in a state of mild shock, I googled it on my return and sure enough - somebody called Des'ree. Perhaps significantly, the second hit on google's first page was headed: "What's the worst song lyric ever? | Music | theguardian.com"

I mean, I know the competition is fierce, but really...

Said she was a dancer, Jethro Tull - 'I'm your Pepsi-Cola, but you won't take me out the can'

Although Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull is one of my favourite song writers of all time, he does come out some garbage... especially in the '80s.

The final line of The Queen And The Soldier by Suzanne Vega always wound me up...

Out in the distance her order was heard
And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
And while the queen went on strangling in the solitude she preferred
The battle continued on.​

'The battle continued on' FFS... you're a talented wordsmith Suzanne... so why settle for such a pants closing line???

I'm every woman.... it's all in me​

is also utter utter crap

He said worst lyric !

Yes, but I thought it deserved a special mention nonetheless.

Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains.

Bermuda Triangle
Makes my woman disappear
Bermuda Triangle
Don't go too near
Looking at it from my angle
Do you see why I'm so sad
Oh Bermuda Triangle
Very bad!

The one that most recently caught my attention was the first line of the new Placebo track:

'My computer thinks I'm gay'

Tonight I sellotape my glove to you.....

A terrific song, but Sham 69's Hurry Up Harry has sh!te lyrics (but maybe that was the point):

Now listen here Harry
If we're going down the pub
You'd better tell your mum and dad
And finish up your grub
I wish you'd listen to me
No, I don't want a cup of tea

 

[MontyVeda]

just suppose i juxtapose my blah blah blah

... it's not clever, just sh!te

Driving back from walking the dog, I suddenly heard warbling out of the speakers: "I don't want to see a ghost, It's the sight that I fear most, I'd rather have a piece of toast." ...

Before I'd even opened the thread I knew that was going to be the lyric! Dreadful stuff, sounds like it was written by an 8 yr old.

"Don't use the rules
They're not for you, they're for the fools
And you're a fool if you don't know that
So use the rule you stupid fool"

From Messrs. The Clash of London. Oddly, I find the album one of the best of the latter part of that decade. But that lyric shouldn't have got of the back of n envelope. It was lent nothing by the faux school-of-hard-knocks singing style of public-school-educated J Mellor Esq.

They remain just about the best live act I ever saw (and that includes Otway), but that lyric is distilled wee wee with big jobs floating in it. Officially.

If you don't like my attitude
Then you can F off
Just go to Texas
Isn't that where they golf

Madonna - "I love New York".

The lyrics in this song were so bad, I seem to remember hearing that the Scissor Sisters sent Madonna a rhyming dictionary after this album was released...
