Terrible Lyrics of Our Time

Ladies and gents I give you Joan Osborne..

What if god was one of us
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe in Rome
 
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head.

Oh, sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed.


Hasn't aged well has it?
 
"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.
He has an internal gym surely? Tom Bailey pounding the running machine whilst penning lyrics. You Take Me Up - he’s moved to the asymmetric bars and then hold me now - well he’s pulled a hernia on the weights and needs some comfort.
 
Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
The only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
With that wordsmithery the Police should have written a Eurovision entry
