JawD 99 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Anything by Pink Floyd. Get out. Some of my fave lyrics are by Pink Floyd. Someone mentioned Dark Side of the Moon, Time has to be up there lyrically as one of their best imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Pink Floyd have got some good lyrics imo, I like Roger Water's songwriting. Pro's and con's is just fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4389 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Some manics songs are really hard to learn because of the lyrics. The lyrics don't at all go with the guitar rhythms, JDB manages alright but bloody hell some of it is daft. Went to the gig at the O2 just before xmas and Wire made the point at the end that James had remembered the lyrics to all 38 songs which was an achievment. I love some of the classic Richey lyrics but at the same time a lot of them are (probably literally) a bit too mental. Wire's can be iffy but occasionally he comes up with gems - I find stuff like Let Robeson sing quite inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some of Richey's stuff was probably too mental, Yes being the main culprit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Dave 0 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Rich Hall's observations about the suspect lyrics to 'jailhouse rock' are funny. To paraphrase: "number 37 said to number 3, you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see? kind of geriatric rape shit is happening here!?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 There aren't enough rappers in this thread. Lyrics are very prominent in rap music, but the problem is that rappers don't read--half of them are illiterate fuckwits, Kanye West is a good example: YO IM SORRY YALL I LOVE YALL I LET YOU FINISH YALL BUT I AM A PROUD NON-READER OF BOOKS YALL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Wu-Tang lyrics are canny good. I don't tend to listen to music for the lyrics any more. I think that changed when I got into electronic stuff in my teens but hip-herp is the exception. My Pink Floyd comment was a general one rather than about their lyrics btw.

McFaul 35 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) World Cup 2010, Don’t wanna see ya slip past, Think about the future, Surely it’s the right time, I wanna see you win it in my lifetime, 1966 Bobby Moore and that, Geoff Hurst put it to the turf – we applauded that, There was no ignoring that, Nobody could stop him, I got myself an England shirt, I’m gonna rock it … The worst lyric I've ever seen in my life.

Toonraider 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 OK I have to say it, as much as I love Def Leppard, they have some shockingly bad lyrics on one or two songs Especially on 'Do ya wanna get rocked? and 'Pour some sugar' Awful cheesey songs anyway, and dreadful lyrics. And yet they are probably best known and liked in this country for those two shockers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4389 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) I picked up a bargain collection on Amazon of UFO stuff and while I like them without calling myself a fan, it had to be said they have some classic cock rock sexist lyrics.

StevenL 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 People that rhyme Swagger and Jagger. Fuck off Kesha, Maroon 5, Cher Lloyd. People that rhyme Club and Bud. Fuck off 50cent, Lady Gaga. Lily Allen gets a special mention aswell, for this: You said you were going to bed soon, so I snuck off to your bedroom. They're all cunts. Except Lady Gaga. She's forgiven, although she's probably got 100s of lines that could go in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Anything that relies on names to make a rhyme. Like this corker from my youth (Kenny Loggins/Footloose) Loose, footloose kick off your Sunday shoes Please, Louise pull me off a my knees Jack, get back c'mon before we crack Lose your blues everybody cut footloose or WIngs' band on the run Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun, And the first one said to the second one there I hope you're having fun. Band on the run, band on the run. And the jailer man and sailor sam were searching every one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
