BBC Radio 6 has been running a poll on the worst song lyrics ever! The shortlist is below.
My choice has to be a toss-up between Des'ree and Snap!... aargh!
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
Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer
I'm as
serious as cancer,
When I say Rhythm is a
Dancer.
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.
Razorlight - Somewhere Else
And I
met a girl,
she asked me my name,
I told her what
it was.
Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should
Know?
And firey 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.
Oasis - Champagne
Supernova
Slowly walking down the
hall,
Faster than a cannonball,
Where were you
when we were getting high?
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.
Black Sabbath - War Pigs
Generals
gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black
masses.
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.
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
The winner will be announced in Marc Riley's Brain Surgery on BBC Radio 6 between 7pm - 9pm on Friday 4 May. Unlistenable, I'd imagine...
