                      | For whatever reason the entire song "She's Like the Wind" by Patrick Swayze popped into my head. Let's start with the title because...what? She's like the WIND? Like a gassy wind or what?? Here are the lyrics I found on Google - the repetitive end is BRILLIANT. 
 She's like the wind through my tree
 She rides the night next to me
 She leads me through moonlight
 Only to burn me with the sun
 She's taken my heart
 But she doesn't know what she's done
 
 Feel her breath on my face
 Her body close to me
 Can't look in her eyes
 She's out of my league
 Just a fool to believe
 I have anything she needs
 She's like the wind
 
 [SOLO]
 
 I look in the mirror and all I see
 Is a young old man with only a dream
 Am I just fooling myself
 That she'll stop the pain
 Living without her
 I'd go insane
 
 Feel her breath on my face
 Her body close to me
 Can't look in her eyes
 She's out of my league
 Just a fool to believe
 I have anything she needs
 She's like the wind
 
 Feel your breath on my face
 Your body close to me
 Can't look in your eyes
 You're out of my league
 Just a fool to believe
 (Just a fool to believe)
 She's like the wind
 (Just a fool to believe)
 Just a fool to believe
 (She's like the wind)
 Just a fool to believe
 (Just a fool to believe)
 She's like the wind
 (Just a fool to believe)
 Just a fool to believe
 She's like the wind
 
 (Just a fool...)
 (She's like the wind)
 (She's like the wind)
 (Just a fool...)
 (She's like the wind)
 (Just a fool...)
 
 
 _____________________________________________________________________
 You`re where you want to be, I`m where I want to be
 Caught up chasing everything I`ve ever wanted
 I replace you easily, replace pathetically,
 I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way.
 But how I needed you, when I needed you.
 Let`s not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong.

                      | These are the worst lyrics ever: 
 High, higher than the sun
 You shoot me from a gun
 I need you to elevate me here,
 At the corner of your lips
 As the orbit of your hips
 Eclipse,
 you elevate my soul
 
 I've got no self-control
 Been living like a mole
 Now going down, excavation
 I and I in the sky
 You make me feel like I can fly
 So high, elevation
 
 A star lit up like a cigar
 Strung out like a guitar
 Maybe you could educate my mind
 Explain all these controls
 Can't sing but I've got soul
 The goal is elevation
 
 A mole, Digging in a hole
 Digging up my soul,
 Now,going down, excavation
 I and I
 In the sky
 You make me feel like I can fly
 So high,
 elevation
 
 Love, lift me up out of these blues
 Won't you tell me something true
 I believe in you
 
 A mole, Digging in a hole
 Digging up my soul
 Going down, excavation
 I and I
 In the sky
 You make me feel like I can fly
 So high,
 elevation
 
 Elevation...
 
 Piece of SHIT
 
 
 
  I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.

                      | How about this snippett from Pink's Don't Let Me Get Me: 
 Never win first place, I don't support the team
 I can't take direction, and my socks are never clean. [what??]
 
 Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
 I was always in a fight cuz I can't do nothin' right. [give me a break]
 
 Absolute tripe!

 Aren't all of pink's songs something along these lines?
 The sorta "my life's so shit etc and I'm gonna tell you all about it even though you really don't want to hear" kinda lines

                      | These lyrics are so bad that they're... still fucking terrible.  The line in bold I think must be the lamest ever, and the stanze in bold must be the worst stanza ever.  I can't believe a grown man wrote this crap. 
 Children of the Night
 by WhiteSnake
 
 I'm getting ready
 I'm in the mood to fool around
 It's time for action
 Now the boys are back in town
 
 So turn up the music
 Make it loud and proud
 Let's see reaction
 Let the spotlite hit the crowd
 
 Don't hide what you feel inside
 Don't let anybody stand in your way
 Just let the music take you higher
 
 Now are you ready to rock
 Children of the Night
 Are you ready to roll
 Children of the Night
 
 You got the power
 I feel your fire in my soul
 You got the fever
 Cos you were born to rock an' roll
 Don't run for cover
 I'm gonna show you what I've learned
 Just come a little closer
 Come on an' get your fingers burned
 
 Don't hide what you feel inside
 Don't let anybody stand in your way
 Just let the music take you higher
 
 Now are you ready to rock
 Are you ready to roll
 
 Are you ready to rock
 
 Now are you ready to rock
 Children of the Night
 Are you ready to roll
 Children of the Night
 
 I'm getting ready
 I'm in the mood to fool around
 It's time for action
 Cos' now the boys are back in town
 
 Don't hide what you feel inside
 Don't let anybody stand in your way
 Just let the music take you higher
 
 Now are you ready to rock
 Children of the Night
 Are you ready to roll
 Children of the Night

 Oh and I too had never realised how awful the lyrics to Elevation were.

                      | Here's my first contribution, courtesy of Feeder.  I too have put the worst bits in bold. 
 Buck Rodgers
 
 
 He's got a brand new car
 Looks like a Jaguar
 It's got leather seats
 It's got a CD player (player, player, player...)
 
 But I don't wanna talk about it anymore
 
 I think we're gonna make it
 I think we're gonna save it yeah
 So don't you try and fake it
 Anymore, anymore
 
 We'll start over again
 Grow ourselves new skin
 Get a house in Devon
 Drink cider from a lemon (lemon, lemon, lemon...)
 
 But I don't wanna talk about it anymore
 
 I think we're gonna make it
 I think we're gonna save it yeah

                      | Oh and here's Liam's first attempt at songwriting. 
 Little James
 
 
 Little James, we're all the same
 They always seem to look to us
 But we weren't meant to be grown ups
 Thank you for your smile
 You make it all worthwhile to us
 
 You live for your toys, even though they make noise
 Have you ever played with plastercine
 Or even tried a trampoline
 Thank you for your smile
 You make it all worthwhile to us
 
 I'm singing this song for you and your mum that's all
 'Cos it won't be long before everyone is gone
 
 Sailed out to sea, your mum you and me
 You swam the ocean like a child
 Life around us was so wild
 Thank you for your smile
 You make it all worthwhile to us
 
 I'm singing this song for you and your mum that's all
 And it won't be long before everyone is gone

 Your Ghost - Kristin Hersh
 
 If I walk down this hallway
 Tonight it's too quiet
 So I pat through the dark
 And call you on the phone
 Push your old numbers
 And let your house ring
 'Till I wake your ghost
 
 Let him walk down your hallway
 It's not this quiet
 Slide down your receiver
 Stand across the wire
 Follow my number
 Slide into my hand
 
 It's the blaze across my nightgown
 It's the phone's ring
 
 Chorus:
 I think last night
 you were driving circles around me (x3)
 
 I can't drink this coffee
 Till I put you in my closet
 Let him shoot me down
 Let him call me off
 I take it from his whisper
 You're not that tough
 
 It's the blaze across my nightgown
 It's the phone's ring
 
 Chorus:
 You were in my dream (I think last night)
 You were driving circles around me (x5)
 
 
  *Shka-pow! You're Dead!

                      | How about rhyming the word "masses" with the word "masses"? 
 I give you Black Sabbath "War Pigs":

 Just like witches at black masses

 ELECTRIC YOUTH
 Debbie Gibson
 Electric Youth
 Written by: Deborah Gibson
 
 Verse 1:
 Zappin' it to ya
 The pressure's everywhere
 Goin' right through ya
 The fever's in the air
 Oh yeah, it's there!
 Don't underestimate the power
 Of a lifetime ahead
 
 Chorus:
 ELECTRIC YOUTH
 Feel the power, you see the energy
 Comin' up
 Coming on strong
 The future only belongs
 To the future itself/in the hands of itself
 And the future is
 ELECTRIC YOUTH
 It's true you can't fight it
 Live by it
 The next generation...
 It's electric
 
 Verse 2:
 We've got the most time
 To make the world go round
 Oh, can you spare a dime?
 Place your bet on our sound
 Come back to town
 Don't lose sight of potential mastermind
 Remember when you were young
 
 Chorus
 
 Bridge:
 We do what comes naturally (naturally)
 You see now
 Wait for the possibility
 Don't you see a strong resemblance
 To yourself? (oh....)
 Don't you think what we say is important
 Whatever it may be...
 The fun is gonna start with me
 'Cause I'm bringing it back...
 
 Chorus

                      | This has to be my most hated lyric of all time: 
 'Save the Best till Last' written by Waldman, Lind and Galdstone
 
 Sometimes the snow comes down in June
 Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
 I see the passion in your eyes
 Sometimes it's all a big surprise
 
 That's fucking pathetic. The sun going around the moon indeed! pah! I spit on you, you fucking inbred shit for brains lyricist!

 I know, but c'mon, that's a pretty bad lyric for someone of Frank's calibre!!
 Awesome song though.

                      | At the last show my band played, we were followed by a pop-punk cover band. They treated us to the likes of Blink 182 and Good Charlotte. Anyway, they played one or two originals, and in one of them the chorus ran: 
 "I don't want to see you anymore
 You always leave me wanting more."
 
 They repeated this three or four times for the chorus. Way to go guys, rhyming more with more.

                      | How about this classic (it makes me sick that I even know this) 
 "I want to push you around, well I will, I will
 I want to take you for granted"

                      | If we're talking worst lyrics ever, then I have the topper... 
 Muskrat Love by Captain & Tennille.
 
 Muskrat, Muskrat, candle light Doing the town
 and doing it right in the evening
 It's pretty pleasing Muskrat Suzie, Muskrat Sam do the jitterbug
 out in Muskrat Land And they shimmy...
 Sam is so skinny And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
 Singing and jinging a jango
 Floating like the heavens above
 Looks like Muskrat Love.
 Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese Sam says to Suzie,
 Honey, would you please be my Mrs?
 Suzie says yes with her kisses
 Now he's tickling her fancy,
 rubbing her toes muzzle to muzzle now,
 anything goes as they wriggle,
 Sue starts to giggle.
 
 I know, I know.  It's actually a song by the band America, who have written many other great songs like Tin Man and Sister Golden Hair.  But Captain & Tennille really took it too new lows.

                      | That Muskrat Love song is pretty terrible cvanepps! 
 I still go for this one by Vanilla Ice who also made the worst movie ever called "cold as ice"
 here are the lyrics.
 
 (Vanilla Ice, Earthquake, M. Smooth)
 
 Yo, VIP, Let's kick it!
 Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby
 
 All right stop, Collaborate and listen
 Ice is back with my brand new invention
 Something grabs a hold of me tightly
 Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
 Will it ever stop? Yo -- I don't know
 Turn off the lights and I'll glow
 To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
 Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.
 Dance, go rush the speaker that booms
 I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
 deadly, when I play a dope melody
 Anything less than the best is a felony
 Love it or leave it, You better gain way
 You better hit bull's eye, The kid don't play
 If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it
 Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
 
 Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
 Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
 
 Now that the party is jumping
 With the bass kicked in and the Vegas are pumpin'
 Quick to the point, to the point no faking
 Cooking MCs like a pound of bacon
 Burnin’ ‘em if you aint quick and nimble
 I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
 And a hi hat with a souped up tempo
 I'm on a roll, it's time to go solo
 Rollin' in my 5.0
 With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
 The girlies on standby, Waving just to say Hi
 Did you stop? No -- I just drove by
 Kept on pursuing to the next stop
 I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
 That block was dead
 Yo -- so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue
 Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
 Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
 Jealous 'cause I'm out geting mine
 Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
 Ready for the chumps on the wall
 The chumps acting ill because they're full of “Eight Ball”
 Gunshots ranged out like a bell
 I grabbed my nine -- All I heard were shells
 Falling on the concrete real fast
 Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
 Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed
 I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
 Police on the scene, You know what I mean
 They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends
 If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it
 Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
 
 Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
 Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
 
 Take heed, 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
 Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
 My town, that created all the bass sound
 Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
 'Cause my style's like a chemical spill
 Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
 Conducted and formed, This is a hell of a concept
 We make it hype and you want to step with this
 Shay plays on the fade, slice like a ninja
 Cut like a razor blade so fast, Other DJs say, damn
 If my rhyme was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram
 Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
 Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
 If there was a problem, Yo -- I'll solve it!
 Check out the hook while Deshay revolves it.
 
 Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
 Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
 
 Yo man -- Let's get out of here! Word to your mother!
 
 Ice Ice Baby Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold
 Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold

                      | I will have to do a search on the old rank lyrics thread. I love this effort by ABC - the reference to apple crumble is inspirational: 
 
 That Was Then But This Is Now
 
 
 
 Why make the past your sacred cow?
 I guess you've changed, you've changed and how
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 Fruit's grown rotten on the bough
 Reap what you sow, with a counterfeit plough
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 
 That was then but this is now
 
 More sacrifices than an Aztec priest
 Standing here straining at that leash
 All fall down
 Can't complain, musn't grumble
 Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble
 And consequently:
 Hearts of oak are charged and blistered
 Russians should be baby-sitted
 Americans enlisted
 
 That was then but this is now
 That was then but this is now
 That was then but this is now

                      | Wasn't there something in a Busted song recently that went like "I wet my pants
 when we flew over France".
 
 Whoops, I just admitted to knowing anything by Busted.  Bugger.

                      | I think "Your Ghost" has fantastic lyrics.  It's really hard to write minimally like that. 
 As for Pink and Avril, the scariest thing about their lyrics is knowing that there is usually a panel of four or five professional songwriters collaborating on them.  I'll never forget when Sheryl Crow won a grammy for "All I Want to Do" and five old dudes got up to receive the award with her. Most of those lyrics are targeted at 10-15 year olds, so talking about dirty socks and apple crumble makes sense.

 Sacred silence and sleep

 disorder, disorder, disorder
 More wood for the fires, loud neighbours
 flashlight riveries caught in the headlights of a truck
