I have located a few worth mentioning and you can add your selection: "If I was a sculptor That's my fun day My I-don't-have-to-run day" "I don't like cities But I like New York Other places Make me feel like a dork" I love New York - Madonna -------------

What is a dork anyway? From Urban Dictionary: "Someone who has odd interests, and is often silly at times. A dork is also someone who can be themselves and not care what anyone thinks." The second definition is actually quite positive. So I sense a big problem here: She doesn’t like cities, still NYC is the only place in the world where she can feel okay – granted that she means the first definition. If she means the second, NYC is the only place in the world where she is unable to be herself. Which means that all other cities are better for her. To be honest, I don’t think she was thinking much when she wrote the lyrics (provided she wrote them herself – I don’t know). We all know these lines, of course; "Oh! It was OK!! But there were no clowns, no tigers, lions or bears, cand-floss, toffee apples, no clowns." Not my fave lines by Jon Anderson. ------------- He say nothing is quite what it seems; I say nothing is nothing (Peter Hammill) |

Love the song, but the opening lyrics make me facepalm every time. "Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses"-War Pigs--Black Sabbath.

I don't like cities, but I love New York. This is so true - I live in Australia and visited N.Y. twice (going for a third time too) - the pretzel carts, squirrels at Battery Park, South Beach at Staten Island....................The Statue Of Liberty, Central Park, Times Square. I love New York - but I generally dislike cities..............go figure  - BTW, these are my thoughts, not dopey song lyrics.........

THESE WORDS ARE SOME OF THE BEST LYRICS IN THE WHOLE HISTORY OF MUSIC. I SAID.  If you want bad lyrics, check out the lyrics for, let's say, Judas Priest's "Turbo Lover": 'You won't hear me, but you'll feel me" - it just starts in a perfect way. |

"Nous sommes du soleil" ("we are from the sun" - sounds like the words of a sect guru)... ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

^ I think the words are alright. Sect guru? Sounds creepy.  Want an example of the worst? So you live in the bottom of the sea, And you kill all that come near you But you are very lonely, because all the other fish Fear you And you crave companionship and someone to call your own; Because for the whole of your life You've been living alone. Now that's some piece of s%^t. Universal anthemism at its cheapest. It's like as if a seven-year-old sat down at a table and wrote the lyrics, delivering as much desperation in writing better lyrics as possible, trying too hard. These words belong in prose, not in a song. Pseudo-maturity in kindergartenish terms - not a lot of things could be more repulsive than that.

Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all Or if he moves will he fall? And then... Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance That he soon will unfurl -Iron Man - Black Sabbath Or how about this one: Well I'm running here I'm running there I'm looking for a girl Cause there's nothing I need There's nothing I want more In the whole wide world Need Some Love - Rush ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

Didn't say they were the worst lyrics ever, just that I disliked those particular ones in that song. The rest of the lyrics in War Pigs are great, certainly.

my personal favorite ; If you've got troubles Then you've got less troubles than me. You say you're worried, You can't be as worried as me. (oh oh) You're quite content to be bad, With all the advantages you've had over me. Just 'cause you're troubled, Then don't bring your troubles to me. I don't think it's funny When you ask for money and things. Especially when you're standing there Wearing diamonds and rings. (oh oh) You think I'm soft in the head, Well, try someone softer instead, pretty thing It's not so funny When you know what money can bring. You'd better leave me alone, I don't need a thing from you. You'd better take yourself home, Go and count a ring or two. ..and of course ; Was it you or was it me? Or was it he or she? Was it A or was it B? Or was it X or Z? Was it you or was it me? Or was it he or she? Was it A or was it B? Or was it X or Z? Was it you or was it me? Or was it he or she? Was it A or was it B? Or was it X or Z? |

"Don't sit on the grass
it's too cold for your ass" Emtidi - Saat. Think the song's called Walk in the park. It's the opening cut anyhoo... The funniest thing about it though, is that it's being sung by a woman, in a psychedelic folk setting - extremely heartfelt and hippie-like. I crack up every time I hear that track. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Angel Dust by Venom:
"Angel Dust want a shot Angel Dust, need a lot, cause it gets me higher, than anything i know" Angel Dust, don't know if it still exists on the street, but it can sometimes cause permanent psychosis after only one trip, these lyrics might encourage someone to do it, and that is not cool! (Pretty all of Venom's lyrics are f*&%$ up, but this is one of the worst) |

He told me that the Lizards were a race of people practically extinct From doing things smart people don't do He said that he was once a Lizard too... His name was Rutherford the Brave and he was on a quest to save His people from the fate that lay before them. Their clumsy end was perilously near The Lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book In all of Prussia only one existed And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook Phish - The Lizards Of course, the very worst lyrics of all perished along with their creator, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex, England, in the destruction of the planet Earth. -------------

These are all certainly worthy, but none are close to these, which have the added bonus of being sung completely out of tune.

I think all of "Counting Out Time" probably qualifies. Although it's supposed to be satire (I think) so it doesn't really count. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

The lyrics to Amon Düül ii's "Dem guten schoenen wahren" on Phallus Dei win my vote, see the discussion by contributor BaldFriede at this page: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=77076&PN=4" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=77076&PN=4 However, as other mention, the music is excellent! I'm a huge fan of Lothar Meid, he really blasts on this one! Pity about the lyrics however.... |

| I cannot vote or comment here, unlike most my female friends and a lot of male friends too, I do not focus on lyrics, never remember them either, I can hum most songs tho' because my mind follows the rhythm and instrumentals :) |
