Really crap lyrics from 'grown up' songwriters...

Was going to mention that one too. Wonder where it could be;)

No, Phil's point is that the repression had got so bad that there were jails all over the place, any one of which could be the site of an escape attempt.

Bet you're feeling pretty foolish now, eh?
 
whilst not technically a grown up singer, more like the slowest rapper ever...

I'm serious as cancer / when I say rhythm is a dancer
 
Dehumanisation is such a big word
It's been around since Richard The Third

The Human League 'Blind Youth'

I thought that was Oakey taking the piss a bit out of throbbing gristle and all the terribly serious industrial types who (at the time) Human League were sort of associated with. but yeh.

Broooce - "The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive" dear lord.

also The Killers again in a similar vein..."we're burning down a highway skyline on the back of a hurricane..." toss
 
Oh, please don't you rock my boat (Don't rock my boat)
Cause I don't want my boat to be rockin' (Don't rock my boat)
Oh, please don't you rock my boat (Don't rock my boat)
Cause I don't want my boat to be rockin' (Don't rock my boat)

Laziest songwriting ever was for Baccarra Yes Sir I Can Boogie -


No Sir,
I don't feel very much like talking
No, neither walking
You wanna know if I can dance.
Yes Sir, Already told you in the first verse
And in the chorus

But I will give you one more chance.




:D
This is, unbelievably, the biggest selling single in history by a female duo.
 
You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless/give a little help to the helpless - Dizzee Rascal, Band Aid 20

He starts to shake he starts to cough/Just like the old man in that famous book by Nabokov - Sting, Don't stand so close to me
 
I was a Birthday Party fan, and still like Nick Cave, but FFS........

but I know, baby, that you do"

White man turns the corner, finds himself within a different world
Ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws him up against the wall
He says, "Would you respect me if I didn't have this gun
'Cause without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one'

I particularly hate this one from Phil Collins.
 
Oh, please don't you rock my boat (Don't rock my boat)
Cause I don't want my boat to be rockin' (Don't rock my boat)
Oh, please don't you rock my boat (Don't rock my boat)
Cause I don't want my boat to be rockin' (Don't rock my boat)

Bob Marley: mystic and visionary.
