    Stairway to heaven has one of the greatest piles of dogsh1t lyrics I've ever heard.

    I still have no idea what this is supposed to be about.

    A song saved by it's music.

    I fully expect to be trashed for saying that but if someone can explain what it means then great.

    I've had to endure some abysmal music when the missus has her cds on in the car, all that slow rap where the voice gets lower as they talk utter nonsense and each song has the exact same beat to it...But this one stands out: "I'm that flight you get on, international"

    Ooh, and I said, "What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?"
    She said, "I think I remember the film
    And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it"
    And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got"

    Almost any Red Hot Chili Peppers song, but in particular Can't Stop, which includes the following:

    Sweetheart is bleeding in the snow cone
    So smart, she's leadin' me to ozone
    Music, the great communicator
    Use two sticks to make it in the nature
    I'll get you into penetration
    The gender of a generation
    The birth of every other nation
    Worth your weight, the gold of meditation
    This chapter's gonna be a close one
    Smoke rings, I know you're gonna blow one
    All on a spaceship, persevering
    Use my hands for everything but steering
    Can't stop the spirits when they need you
    Mop tops are happy when they feed you
    J. Butterfly is in the treetop
    Birds that blow the meaning into bebop


    "Music the great communicator" - An absolutely true sentiment. You can convey a great many thing through music. So what are the Red Hot Chili Peppers using their music to communicate to their listeners?

    "J. Butterfly is in the treetop
    Birds that blow the meaning into bebop"

    "How bizarre
    How bizarre, how bizarre

    Ooh, baby, ooh, baby
    It's making me crazy, it's making me crazy
    Every time I look around (look around)
    Every time I look around (Every time I look around)
    Every time I look around
    It's in my face
    It's in my face

    Ooh, baby, ooh, baby

    Give her five years, her face will!

    Regarding Ms Perry, I know someone who works as getting women back into employment, after kids; illness; other issues etc.

    She was being asked out by someone who knows her job. They waxed lyrical about how the song Roar was "so freeing and empowering and such a wonderful example to women".

    She replied "it's ****e and about dumping Russell Brand".

    Slight red face and a retreat from our hero!!!

    About a little guy that lives in a blue world
    And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue
    Like him, inside and outside

    And a blue Corvette
    And everything is blue for him
    And himself and everybody around

    'I've got soul but I'm not a soldier'


    What is that supposed to mean? Shocking.

    I always see this lyric in the "worst lyrics ever" but taken out of context of the rest of the song, it looks odd. Similar to the "are we dancer" one which has already been explained, this was an explanation online about the context of the lyrics with the rest of the song. Should also be noted that Flowers is a practising Morman too and takes his religious beliefs seriously.
    You have to understand the context of the song (All These Things that I've Done by The Killers, for those unfamiliar), and what Flowers is really saying. It's easy to cherry pick this particular lyric out of the song and say it's silly, if you ignore the rest of the song. He's making a distinction between two things that are normally assumed to be interconnected.

    His line "I've got soul" (which comes as a crescendo towards the end of the song) is essentially a simple statement of what he's been saying for the whole song - that he is a human being, with meaning and value and beliefs and wants and desires. He makes no apologies for who he is, stating "I'm so much older than I can take; and my affection, well it comes and goes," and again later "These changes ain't changing me; the gold-hearted boy I used to be."

    I think that we as humans, or at least culturally, tend to think that if someone has a big personality or strong beliefs or truly values themselves, then they will fight for those beliefs and that value. It's such an iconic image. A quiet, shy person must have self esteem issues. A person who doesn't talk much about themselves or their beliefs must not be interesting or have beliefs that they care about. Someone who isn't boisterous and aggressive about themselves ("a soldier" being the metaphor here) must not have any depth of character or value ("soul").

    But Flowers doesn't place the value of his "soul" on others' perceptions of him. He is exactly what he is; that in itself is its own source of fulfilment for him (e.g. - "I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand"). He has no need to fight for his beliefs, or to prove to anyone that he is valuable. He simply accepts that he is what he is, and lets the world react as it may. The titular line comes right at the end of the song: "The battle is won, with all these things that I've done." Flowers never really explains what "all these things" are. He writes an entire song about the things that he's done, and never tells us what he's talking about. Because it's not the point. The point is that he acknowledges himself. It doesn't matter if anyone else knows what he's done or who he is - he knows, and that's enough. He's not fighting for anything, he's not forcing anyone to acknowledge him. He doesn't need attention or recognition. He just is.

    He's got soul. But he's not a soldier.

    Or maybe the Ham can be seen as a metaphor for the Hamster too...

    Not sure if this is bad enough to be in here but here goes anyway.

    THE MOBILE PHONE LYRICS

    [Chorus]
    Oh, my girlfriend has a mobile phone
    Now we can never have a minute alone
    The other night I asked her for a kiss
    She said, "Hang on, now, until I answer this"

    [Verse 1]
    Oh, this mobile phone, it is a curse
    And it makes an awful hole in her purse
    With her mobile phone, she gets such a thrill
    But her smile disappears when she gets the bill

    [Chorus]
    Oh, my girlfriend has a mobile phone
    Now we can never have a minute alone
    The other night I asked her for a kiss
    She said, "Hang on, now, until I answer this"

    [Verse 2]
    On Sunday it rang in the middle of mass
    And all the children thought it was great gas
    Some people thought it was the Angelus
    But the priest on the alter was furious

    [Chorus]
    Oh, my girlfriend has a mobile phone
    Now we can never have a minute alone
    The other night I asked her for a kiss
    She said, "Hang on, now, until I answer this"


    [Verse 3]
    Last week, I was courting her in my car
    And she was letting me go too far
    The next thing, her mobile phone did ring
    Just as I was about to put my hand on her...

    [Chorus]
    Oh, my girlfriend has a mobile phone
    Now we can never have a minute alone
    The other night I asked her for a kiss
    She said, "Hang on, now, until I answer this"

    [Instrumental]

    [Verse 4]
    If you're looking for a girlfriend, now, you see
    My advice to you would be
    If the girl that you fancy has a mobile phone...
    Don't bother about her, just leave her alone

    [Chorus]
    Oh, my girlfriend has a mobile phone
    Now we can never have a minute alone
    The other night I asked her for a kiss
    She said, "Hang on, now, until I answer this"


    [Chorus]
    Oh, my girlfriend has a mobile phone
    Now we can never have a minute alone
    The other night I asked her for a kiss
    She said, "Hang on, now, until I answer this"

    [Outro]
    "Hello, is this Fenagh double two, double two?"
    "No, this is Fenagh two two, two two"
    "Ah, I'm sorry for getting you out of the bed"
    "Ah, sure, I had to come down and answer the phone anyway"

    Sorry Katy Perry, can't relate.

    "..drifting through the wind, wanting to start again"

    It brings to mind the brilliant American Beauty so wouldn't be the worst lyrics ever :pac:

    Has anybody mentioned Jim Steinman yet? Most of his songs

    "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that"

    :confused:

    It might have been mentioned here already but Phil Lynnott's rhyming of "Poor Romeo" being "all on his own-eo" is pretty bad

    It's "What ya gonna look like with a chimney on ya?"

    A "chimney" is slang (somewhere, wherever the writer / performer is from) for a black eye.

    So basically she's asking what kind of state will you be in after I've finished beating the crap out of you for getting with my man: What you gonna look like with a chimney on ya?
