The worst lyrics you’ve ever heard.

What are the worst lyrics you’ve ever heard?

For me there’s a couple corkers:

Kaiser Chiefs:

What do you want for tea?
I want crisps,
Why didn’t you join the team?
I just didn’t.


But taking the cake absolutely every single lyric on Fireflies by Owl City, which I’m convinced is the worst song ever written.

I get a thousand hugs,
From ten thousand Lightning bugs,

Leave my door open just a crack,
Cause I feel like such an insomniac,

You might not believe your eyes
As ten million fireflies
Lit up the room as I said farewell
But I’ll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar.
 
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon
(Feeder)



I'm sure there are much much worse - but this always made me laugh when I was younger.
 
The Enemy.

Call the police
'Cause things are getting ugly
Get on your feet
I want you running with me

Do what you like
Say what you mean
Do what you please

Ahhhhh
We'll set the streets on fire
And when it comes on top
We'll give it lots of aggro
We're giving it lots of aggro
 
she smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won’t lose sleep on that because I have a plan

Goes straight to:

You’re beautiful it’s true
I saw your face
in a crowded place
And I don’t know what to do.

Why don’t you know what to do James? Were you lying about having a plan?
 
That Carly Rae Jepson song, call me maybe. If that had been a bloke singing it, the me too movement would of had it banned.

To be fair, that Kaiser Chiefs song is about typically uncommunicative young teenage kids and the lyrics reflect that. I thought it was good. Probably my favourite song of theirs.
 
More dreadful lyrics by The Enemy.

"And while the toilet smells of desperation,
The streets all echo of aggravation"

The video always makes me cringe - the singer staring out of the car window, trying to look all moody and edgy.

 
I'd worship at the feet of Nile Rodgers, but 'I Want Your Love' will forever make me cringe.,

"For your ladder, I'll be a peg. I want your love boy, please dont make me beg"

A peg Nile? Honestly? A peg?

I know rung doesn't rhyme with beg but FFS!
