Terrible Lyrics of Our Time

Following on from the other thread on here.....share some great songs with terrible lyrics.

My starter is my personal favourite.....New Life by Depeche Mode:

"I stand still stepping on the shady streets and I watched that man to a stranger"
 
"I know what it means to work hard on machines" from The Thompson Twins in You Take Me Up. What the hell is a hard on machine? I really don't think that I want to know the answer to that question.
 
Bring it.
Whoo!
Unh, unh, unh, unh
Hoo cah cah
Hah hah, hah hah
Bicka bicka bow bow bow,
Bicka bow bow bump bump
What, what, what, what
Hah hah hah hah
Unh
 
Don't get me wrong, I bloody love Nile Rodgers but 'I Want Your Love' 😯😮😮

"For your ladder, I'll be a peg. I want your love boy, please don't make me beg"

Dran Dran

"Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war"
 
As mentioned to Swordtrombonefish the other day (although I got the song wrong) those lines in that Meatloaf song. "I treasure your love/ I want to show you how to use it" She already knows how to use it Meatloaf mate. She's been using it for it for years, often in the privacy of her own bedroom with her battery powered best friend. She doesn't need you to show her to use it you dirty, creepy sod.
 
"Your mother warned you there'd be days like these..."

Wait a minute - the first line of the song was "So no-one told you life was gonna be this way".

So which one is it?
 
I always thought that that Bee Gees/ Take That song was a bit dodgy. You can't go calling a song 'How Deep is Yours, Love?' That's a really personal question and one that no gentleman would ever ask.
 
Bellamy Brothers.
If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?

Meat Loaf.
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me.
 
This is both wonderfully poetic and awful at the same time

Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday Play
We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day
Won't you stay?
 
Got to be what you wanna, if the groove don't get you, the rifle's gonna
I'm serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer
 
My heart goes
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
When you are near
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
Loud in my ear
Pounding away, pounding away
Won't you be mine?
Boom bang-a-bang-bang all the time
 
I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier. Ugh. Lazy lyric.
I’ve got a pen but I’m not a penguin!

I've got a badge but I'm not a badger. Actually that's a lie. I don't have a badge. Harry Vegas promised to send me one but he didn't do it. Stay away from him Dham. He's not a man of his word. I had to do unspeakable things to earn that badge and I didn't even get it. It was all a con. I'm definitely not a badger though. I'm just a bloke with a bum for a face.
