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

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 So don't you try and fake it Anymore, 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
He's got a brand new car He's got a brand new car
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
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

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

Not according to my lyrics site, but it's still crap anyway, even if they did know what a levin is.

I always thought, drinking cider from eleven, which would've actually made sense considering pub opening times. Of course, I was reckoning without Grant Nicholas.

Although it's a pretty good song, the lyrics just makeme cringe.
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! |

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!

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.

"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
"Fried food, cigarettes, no exercise, chest pain..." (Excerpt from the Angina Monologues) |

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.
