Song lyrics that infuriate you

[JimmyJabs]

I'm sure this has been done before but I just heard Moonlight Shadow on the radio and it's set me right off. "4am in the morning"! A.m. MEANS morning, Oldfield, you oaf. It's tautological and really pissing annoying.

Also, Razorlight's woeful effort "I met a girl, she asked me my name, I told her what it was".

Share your annoyances so that we can all be enraged too!

Backstreet Boys “I want it that way”...

“I never wanna hear you say
That I want it that why”

... always makes me think that they are selfish lovers who aren’t interested in what she wants in bed

Argh typing fail!

That I want it that way

[AriesTheRam]

Also any lyrics by Adele.Stalkerish and maudlin.

[AriesTheRam]

@JimmyJabs I love that song lol

[SallySeven]

"You say it best when you say nothing at all."

God almighty.

[Frownette]

@Drawmelikeoneofyourfrenchgirls perhaps she couldn't see if it was in the dark? And wanted a little dance by herself, not outstretched arms?

Last time I tried to dance I clear knocked over a glass with swirling around fastly so had to stop immediately.

[JimmyJabs]

Yes, Ed Sheeran pisses me off for a lot of reasons but "dancing in the dark, with you between my arms" is just nonsense. It's just not a phrase. You say "in my arms" and "between my legs", therefore I'm always sort of expecting him to say the latter.

[Remona]

@JimmyJabs

There's one called Spanish Eyes, can't remember who sings it, which has the lyric "Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me". What situation might arise where she would wait for him but her eyes wouldn't, or vice versa?

Oh my giddy aunt. That has made me absolutely howl with laughter

[WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll]

The Ed Sheeran song where he says ‘dancing in the dark, with you between my arms’ between his arms?? Should it not be in his arms? I always have visions of him dancing with his arms outstretched and her just shuffling in the middle.

Maybe it's like in The Inbetweeners when Will is trying to do, erm, a slightly different kind of dance with Charlotte - one that he's never ever done before.

Lol I always think this too

Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
True Spandau Ballet..
I feel like that line is just a lazy filler!!

[Saucery]

Jolene, by Dolly Parton. “Please don’t take him just because you can”.
He’s not a handbag or a bike you’ve put down by your front door and forgotten about, Dolly. If he succumbs to her charms he’s a scumbag and you’re better off rid.

[Drawmelikeoneofyourfrenchgirls]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that is annoyed by that Ed sheeran line!!

[EdnaMole]

^^Should I stay or should I go now?
If I stay there will be trouble
If I go it will be double.

Well then - stay...It’s obvious!

[LongPauseNoAnswer]

Rhianna- Shine bright like a diamond.

Diamonds don’t have their own light source so they reflect light, they don’t shine. DH switches it off as soon as it starts so I don’t yell at the radio

[MaosChaos]

The Feeling:

I love it when you call
But you never call at all.

So how the fuck can you love it when they never call at all? Umph.... But they piss me off whatever they sing.

[DaanSaaf]

The grammatically incorrect ones wind me up. Kelly Rowland had 'Can't nobody' and Beyonce had another which will come to me... Destiny's Child must have skipped school a lot.

[SomethingOnce]

Up the Junction by Squeeze.

Great tune, fucking awful lyrics.

[newnameforthis123]

"I don't need clever conversation,
I love you just the way you are"

You superior, patronising cunt! Imagine writing that about someone. Ugh.

[JaneJeffer]

Oh God yes @SomethingOnce


This morning at four fifty
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter

[DoTheNextRightThing]

I will never stop cringing at JLS' Beat Again, particularly the line "I need you back in my arms, I need love CPR" and trying to rhyme "it's getting so cold" with "woahoahoahoooooaah"

[Stella8686]

The 70's? song

Upside down, boy you turn me, inside out and Round and round


RESPECTFULLY I say to THEE that boy I know you're cheating me but no one makes me feel like you do

[CloudyVanilla]

Genuinely so surprised about the Leonard Cohen comment, I absolutely adore Jeff Buckley's version (only his and no one else's) but I think the lyrics are really beautiful and haunting. It's honestly my favourite song, I don't see the lyrics as nasty at all. A bit depressing certainly.

@DaanSaaf is it who run the world ??!!
