to get disproportionately angry when songs do not make sense

[WTAF]

In the car today, radio on, and they start playing All Around The World by Lisa Stansfield. Instantly I felt the rage creeping up.

'Been around the world and I, I
I can't find my baby,
I don't know why, why he's gone away '

YES YOU FUCKING DO, LISA! Allow me to refer you to your own words, not 30 seconds ago, when you said (and I quote):

'We had a quarrel, and I let myself go
I said so many things, things he didn't know
And I was oh, oh so bad'

And then, and then, LISA, you go on to say

'I did too much lying, wasted too much time'

So you do know, you know exactly why he's gone away, so you should just STFU and concentrate on finding him to apologise. Not singing that bullshit trying to make us feel sorry for you, when clearly it is all YOUR FAULT.

I feel better for that. Anyone else?

yes yes to Oasis

Am currently hating the advert for noel gallagher's latest effort.

'If I had a gun/I'd shoot a hole into the sun'. DD's songs about poo are more intelligent.

I can't live...with or without you

I'd say you're pretty fucked then aren't you. A zombie-like 'undead' existence for you then Bono, Or maybe vampiric? half living/half dead.

But I love Love Alanis...

Lmfao at 'with or without you' and 'you're pretty fucked then'

Bwahaha

That's too good for Bonio, GreenIce

Just realised my post didnt make any sense either

Just pretty fucked then. Dead.

Ohhhhh this is funny. "Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife" is NOT ironic. Perhaps you just need to do the washing up love...

I swear the next song after Lisa was Mike and the Mechanics (yes, yes I DO need to change radio stations)

'All I need is a miracle,
All I neeeeeeeeed is you'

WHICH IS IT, MIKE?!

Love her you might Poppycat but she is responsible for one of the most irritating set of lyrics ever.

Read out the OP to DH and was crying with laughter by the end, couldn't get the words out so he had to grab the phone to finish reading. Now we both have tears in our eyes. Priceless

tiger and green
"and in this ever-changing world in which we're living" according to DH
I have been avoiding jobs all evening, but now I've passed that on I feel I've done something useful, and can carry on being lazy

Heart FM WTAF?

Ah. This thread is my spiritual home.

I would just like to add that I am no-one's bloody wonderwall, and I don't give a toss about empty fucking fridges in New York.

Loving these

Back to Katie Melua.

How can something be "a fact, more or less".
Either it is, or it isn't. That is a fact.

I considered that stase but he really does sing it like WE and not WERE

He needs to sort out his diction!

Scouser, innit green

And I need to sort out my autocorrect that changed we're to were

Ok I'll let him off, he might just need a bit more practice at this songwriting malarkey

Just going to throw in The Frog Song, now

Boom, boom, boom, baye aye yah.

My personal favourite is Shakira..

'lucky my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains'

tethers: I was going to mention that exact song! Have you ever seen the sketch that Ed Byrne does about Alanis Morisette?

"It's like rain on your wedding day" is only ironic if you're the god of clement weather!"

Band Aid - "and there wont be snow in Africa this Christmas".....
No, no, no there wont be snow in Africa, it's Africa... makes me scream every time I hear it.

"who needs a heart when a heart can be broken"
Hm I don't know, maybe because you would be dead without one?!
And why is love a "second hand emotion"

My bugbear is by Thin Lizzy. 'Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town'. Seems to me that the jail would be a likely venue for this event.
