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?

Niall Horan - Slow Hands

"Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry" 🤢

LemonysSnicket · 19/10/2017 11:11

@McTufty as annoying as that lyric is it’s African American Vernacular English and is recognised as a valid format

I hate "Shout Out To My Ex"

"I hope she's getting better sex, hope she ain't faking it like I did"

Ummm...that just makes you look very silly, love

LemonysSnicket · 19/10/2017 11:17

Grin crying at the shakiest lyrics .. I thinks it’s part mistranslation part metaphor ... like lucky they’re small so you’re not intimidated and think you can’t achieve touching a tit.

LemonysSnicket · 19/10/2017 11:23

@DesdemonasHandkerchief stomach as in his grit, his gumption ... he’s got the stomach to handle anything.

Another silly metaphor

LemonysSnicket · 19/10/2017 11:30

@2sCompany it’s are we human or are we DENSER . They confirmed it in an interview not long after it was released but dancer was more popular so they’ve just ... left it

MelvinThePenguin · 19/10/2017 11:35

I don't think that's right Lemonys. I think Brandon Flowers was inspired by a quote. Something along the lines of being a generation of dancers.

Funkyslippers · 19/10/2017 11:37

I agree with Melvin

While I love the song, 'nine in the afternoon' is pretty nonsensical. As is the line 'you could 'cos you can, so you do'.

I'd always hoped that nine in the afternoon was some reference to it feeling like a mythical experience, or being so in love that it doesn't matter what time it is. Nope, just something a band member said when asked the time.

I'm a soppy twat, aren't I? Grin

HornyTortoise · 19/10/2017 12:56

I'll take a bruise I know you're worth it, when you hit me hit me hard

The whole song just kinda creeps me out. I mean, I know its meant to be about an abusive relationship but come on. Was even worse when the X factor made it into some kind of...mushy love song for Cardle too. Kids walking round singing about how they are loving being beat up, so wrong

HornyTortoise · 19/10/2017 12:58

Abusive relationship meaning, abusive father/son relationship. was Cardles version that was made out to be a romantic relationship

DesdemonasHandkerchief · 19/10/2017 13:07

Thanks Lemony, makes a bit more sense now!

myusernameisnotmyusername · 19/10/2017 13:13

My best friend once stayed at mine and told me she’d had sex in my kitchen Hmm(misses point entirely)

QuiteChic · 19/10/2017 13:19

Hit me baby, one more time - Britney Spears. I just get so fucking cross when I hear that.

Smack that by Akon

And possibly bend you over
Look back and watch me
Smack that, all on the floor
Smack that, give me some more
Smack that, 'till you get sore
Smack that, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Smack that, all on the floor
Smack that, give me some more
Smack that, 'till you get sore
Smack that, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

UGH.

phoenix1973 · 19/10/2017 17:50

"Ive got a little something for ya"

We used to change it to "i have got something little for ya!" ....chipolata 😁

ILoveMillhousesDad · 19/10/2017 18:47

I love Billy Joel, but the lyric from I love you just the way you are

'I don't want clever conversation
I don't want to work that hard'

Also
'Don't change the colour of your hair'

Fuck off Billy, you cheeky twat.

ILoveMillhousesDad · 19/10/2017 18:52

Whaddya wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say
They make me mad, they make me sad, they make me want a lot of things that I've never had

You're fooling around with me now
Well you lead me on and then you run away
WELL THAT'S ALRIGHT, I'LL GET YOU ALONE TONIGHT
AND BABY YOU'LL FIND YOU'RE MESSING WITH DYNAMITE
so whaddaya wanna make make those eyes at me for
WHEN THEY DON'T MEAN WHAT THEY SAY

Now that is rapey.

ILoveMillhousesDad · 19/10/2017 18:53

Loads of 50s song

She was only 16

Run away little girl

RibenaMonsoon · 19/10/2017 19:33

"Dreams can come true"
....lovely...they can come true. How wonderful.
"You know you've got to have them"
....well..yes..
"You know you've got to be strong"
...Why have I got to be strong? My dreams have come true! I've got a mansion on the coast and a friggin Ferrari! Why is this a negative thing Gabrielle?? Why???

Oh I'm too over invested in this song.

Also the song 'You've lost that loving feeling'. Great song. Ruined by my favourite comedian Stephen Grant who rightly pointed out..

First line is " You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips"

For him to know that, he would have to have had his eyes open! Further more "You never close your eyes anymore "

He had his eyes open when she was previously closing them! The sod lost the loving feeling way before she did!!

Shock

Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball

I love Oasis but that makes 0 sense and the don’t even try to hide it

Ironfloor · 19/10/2017 19:49

Until I checked the lyrics online, I thought Katy Perry sings 'don't be a petty cash thief'!

babybubblescomingsoon · 19/10/2017 19:51

James Arthur- Say you won't let go.
Such a beautiful romantic song apart from the line 'I held your hair back when you were throwing up' Envy (not envy)

Fekko · 19/10/2017 19:57

I know Jason derulo does not sing 'I've got the shits on the floor' but I prefer to think he does (as I am childish).
