Worst Lyrics ... Ever!

Des'ree.jpg

The BBC released their top 10 list of the worst lyrics ever. Surprisingly, the entire Tiny Tim oeuvre was not included.

This is the list as compiled in the listener poll for BBC6 Music's Marc Riley Show:

#1 DES'REE - LIFE
I don't want to see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
Watch the evening news

#2 SNAP - RHYTHM IS A DANCER
I'm as serious as cancer
When I say rhythm is a dancer

#3 RAZORLIGHT - SOMEWHERE ELSE
And I met a girl
She asked me my name
I told her what it was

#4 ABC - THAT WAS THEN BUT THIS IS NOW
More sacrifices than an Aztec priest
Standing here straining at that leash
All fall down
Can't complain, mustn't grumble
Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble

#5 U2 - ELEVATION
I've got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
High and high in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

#6 TOTO - AFRICA
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

#7 OASIS - CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you when we were getting high?

#8 DURAN DURAN - IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW?
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war

#9 HUMAN LEAGUE - THE LEBANON
Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide

#10 BLACK SABBATH - WAR PIGS
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses

sorry, but the most lame lyrics were either to "Kung Fu Fighting" and/or "Disco Duck"

Don't forget Muskrat Love by America, D.I.S.C.O by Ottawan (she is D - delirious...), Brickhouse by The Commodores (she's a brick-house?) and anything by Michael Bolton and Richard Marx.
