    The lyrics of Paddy Casey's Saints and Sinners sound like they've been written by a child.

    Anyone can be a star.
    Just get in your car
    You can go and be a star.

    Point also for Snow Patrol who seem to put Whoa-oh oh into a song when they cant think of a lyric.

    That song from a decade ago (or what ever)

    "...I'm horny,
    horny, horny, horny,
    so horny, im horny horny horny toooooonight...."


    Seriously like?

    James Blunt - Beautiful

    She smiled at me on the subway.
    She was with another man.
    But I won't lose no sleep on that,
    'Cause I've got a plan.

    Okay he says he has a plan. Then he doesn't tell us what the plan is. Then he kills himself. Great plan.

    I feel bad for mentioning Lizzy in this thread, but they've earned it:

    "Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    Somewhere in the town"




    I'm guessing it's in the jail.

    Worst song lyrics ever below
    Chorus:
    Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
    doo, doot doot dooo.
    Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
    doo, doot dooo

    I'm afraid of the dark,
    'specially when I'm in a park
    And there's no-one else around,

    Ooh, I get the shivers
    I don't want to see a ghost,
    It's a sight that I fear most
    I'd rather have a piece of toast
    And watch the evening news
    (Repeat Chorus)

    I'm a superstitious girl,
    I'm the worst in the world
    Never walk under ladders,
    I keep a rabbit's tail

    I'll take you up on a dare,
    Anytime, anywhere
    Name the place, I'll be there,
    Bungee jumping, I don't care!
    (Repeat Chorus)

    life, doo, doot dooo
    doo, doot dooo

    So after all is said and done
    I know I'm not the only one
    Life indeed can be fun, if you really want to

    Sometimes living out your dreams,
    Ain't as easy as it seems
    You wanna fly around the world,
    In a beautiful balloon
    (Repeat Chorus)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,130 ✭✭✭Azureus


    That piece of toast line in the Desiree song always makes me laugh! :L Such an irritating track.
    'Lucky that my breasts are small and humble...so you dont confuse them with mountains' Shakira. WTF?
    Also, 'serious as cancer..rhythm is a dancer'. Mmm ok?

    That useless shítty "today I dont feel like doing anything" song or whatever the F*CK its called. I want to snap the persons neck and smash their face in whoever thought up of those lyrics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭FatherLen


    There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
    And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
    When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
    With a word she can get what she came for.
    Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.

    There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
    'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
    In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
    Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
    Ooh, it makes me wonder,
    Ooh, it makes me wonder.

    There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
    And my spirit is crying for leaving.
    In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
    And the voices of those who stand looking.
    Ooh, it makes me wonder,
    Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

    And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
    Then the piper will lead us to reason.
    And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
    And the forests will echo with laughter.

    If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
    It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
    Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
    There's still time to change the road you're on.
    And it makes me wonder.

    Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
    The piper's calling you to join him,
    Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
    Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

    And as we wind on down the road
    Our shadows taller than our soul.
    There walks a lady we all know
    Who shines white light and wants to show
    How everything still turns to gold.
    And if you listen very hard
    The tune will come to you at last.
    When all are one and one is all
    To be a rock and not to roll.

    And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

    That one about the plane coming in to land and the X-Ray machine was on constantly after our first daughter was born. We gradually grew to despise it. I then developed a fear that she might like it.

    Yesterday we were having lunch and a song came on the radio. She looked across the table at me with a big smile and announced with real feeling: "I like that song!!!".

    The good news is that it was Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Good taste for a 2.5 year old. Atttttagirl !!!
