I've got no where left to hide.
It looks like love has finally found me.

It's still got to be ten times better than Gwen Stafani, solo artist lyrics.

Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

This line from "For What It's Worth" doesn't look so terrible by itself but goes down like a lead balloon in the song. Every other set of lines is a fairly neatly rhyming couplet, and all this has going for it is the internal rhyme of signs and side along with a little assonance-it's not fooling anyone and strains its grammar in the process. It sounds like it was stuck in there until Stephen Stills could think of something better. Clearly, he never did.

As hard as the rock in that old rock n' roll - Billy Joel

I'll drink from your drain

(true story, Luna, it even kinds of work when sung which is the weird thing)

"too much" by dave matthews.

in general, i think his lyrics are pretty unimpressive. but that one's the worst offender. its "choppin broccoli" bad, like he's making them up as he goes along.

Much though I love Sheryl Crow's 2nd album (the one titled "Sheryl Crow") it has some truly cringe-inducing lyrics.

"Come now, all you men of great."

"Dinner's at eight, wear your cement shoes."

"Hello, it's me, I'm not at home, if you'd like to reach me, leave me alone."

The album sounds great, and some of the songs are well-written. Just don't think about the lyrics - at all.

I've sat upon the setting sun
But never never never never
I never wanted water once
No never never never - Cat Stevens

Glad he cleared that up. I thought that while sitting on the setting sun he sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes wanted water.

(Jesus speaking to Judas at the last supper. From Jesus Christ Superstar)

you liar
you Judas

While the charge is hard to deny, I'm not sure how insulted Judas should feel about being called his name.

now and later, that's the candy that explains how I feel

by **laf837** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 18:17:31

An hour later I was thinking it over by the snack machine
I thought about you and a candy bar
Now and later now that I've got it stuck between my teeth
I fell asleep to the greatest movie of the year

i love this band but some of their lyrics are cringe inducing.

From Africa, by Toto

(nears to be heard for full effect of awfulness)

I know I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

Two that immediately come to mind that haven't been mentioned:

1. Only time will tell if we stand the test of time.

2. Hike up your skirt a little more, show your world to me.
