Lyrics that piss me of

I've just heard a song and one of the lyrics goes along the lines of

"....and we make love right there on your best friends couch...."

This has pissed me right of!

  1. Why on your best friends couch?
  2. Stains? Do you think they put a towel down first?
  3. Smell? We can all smell sex!
  4. What if he walks in on you?

Life by Des'ree is a classic

I'm afraid of the dark,
Especially when I'm in a park
And there's no-one else around,

Oh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news.

Another Ed Sheeran one:

One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay
Leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat

Two issues:

If you're 'thrifty', why are you then getting a taxi?

'We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour / And how your family is doing ok' : Sounds like the worst date ever. As if you'd get in a taxi with someone after that Confused

Tinie Tempah Pass Out has these gems

I've got so many clothes I keep some in my aunt's house.

I've been to Southampton but I've never been to Scunthorpe

Anyone heard the new Morrisey song, "I spent the day in bed"? Absolute load of bollocks.

I always come on these threads to rant about how much I hate 'More Than Words'. Emotional blackmail at its finest.

Apparently the band have said 'oh no, that's not what it means, its not like that...'. Which just made me think 'hmm, that's exactly what an emotional blackmailer would say'.

The killers -
I've got soul but I'm not a soilder

I saw Bill Bailey once tearing this to shreds. He compared it to singing 'I've got ham but I'm not a hamster' Grin

Worra Moonlight Shadow was the first song I thought of when I heard this thread!

EvilDoctorBallerinaVampireDuck · 19/10/2017 05:02

*saw not heard, obviously.

DamnSummerCold · 19/10/2017 05:11

I was logging in to say the same as @DesdemonasHandkerchief.

Anyone who thinks that’s a love song , well that’s a red flag in itself…

LucyTheLocalBike · 19/10/2017 05:16

"I would do anything for love, but I won't do that"

In which case, you wouldn't do anything for love but I guess "I would do almost anything for love' doesn't quite fit

This is surely the worst ever.

He hit me
And it felt like a kiss
He hit me
But it didn't hurt me

He couldn't stand to hear me say
That I'd been with someone new,
And when I told him I had been untrue

He hit me
And it felt like a kiss
He hit me
And I knew he loved me

If he didn't care for me
I could have never made him mad
But he hit me,
And I was glad

Yes, he hit me
And it felt like a kiss
He hit me
And I knew I loved him
And then he took me in his arms
With all the tenderness there is,
And when he kissed me,
He made me his

Motorbike, motorbike, bike, bike, bike......

Little Mix I think. Wtf is that all about.

I drove all night crept into your room woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that alright

No it's not alright
that would be breaking and entering and possibly rape thanks Roy Orbison

Haven't read the whole thread but the original Spanish lyrics to Whenever Wherever by Shakira (Suerte in Spanish) about her breasts being small and humble, etc have exactly the same meaning as in the English version.

Although no one understood there was more of them than us

Were, Barlow. There were more of them than us.

It's my right to be hellish
I stil get jealous

Nick Jonas

We... no it's not your right. ( catchy tune though )

I love this tune by Rhianna wild thought but I don't get the line

I know you want to see me naked naked naked..

Why repeat 3 times???

malificent7 · 19/10/2017 06:47

Also the whole song Swallah by Jason Durullo...
about swallowing cum I do believe..

Mammylamb · 19/10/2017 08:33

"I'll give you something to tear your ass in two". From blurred lines

Bahhhhhumbug · 19/10/2017 08:37

I hate most of the Diana Ross lyrics.

'Doormat Diana' we call her .

'Upside Down' .......' respectfully l say to thee, l'm aware that your cheating but no one makes me feel like you do '

Mind you from one who ruthlessly slept her way to the top knocking anyone out of her way to get there , lm hardly sureprised she's willing to sing that shite.

midnightmisssuki · 19/10/2017 08:38

Bring your girls, just whatever the night
Your man just left, I'm the plumber tonight
I'll check your pipes, oh, you the healthy type
Well, here goes some egg whites

Shock
PavlovianLunge · 19/10/2017 09:30

Heatherjayne, not to detract from the dodginess of that lyric, but the first version I heard was by Cyndi Lauper. And they do sing ‘is that alright?’, so they both might have had a long drive back to the city...

ThePeanutGallery · 19/10/2017 09:44

Hey Little Girl is your Daddy home,
Did he go out and leave you all alone,
Oh, I've got a bad desire, oh oh oh, I'm on Fire.

I LOVE Bruce Springsteen, but this whole song sounds like a depraved old man stalking a young girl. It's even worse when Johnny Cash sings it.

My preferred radio station in the car is Radio4 but DGC change it to CapitalConfused
Lyrics I have loathed include,
"I didn't know that I was hungry till I tasted you" Yuck...
