Strange lyrics and strange ideas...
I was waiting for the district line at Acton Town the other day. I couldn't help but notice something really strange. When the district line train comes in to the platform and the doors open, the train is tilted away from the platform. That makes it harder to get on the train. If it would have been the other way, that'd be fine. Very strange. And who chose the pattern on the seats on the tube! Those are not very pretty! It just hit me...
Well, I've got some more information about my move to Stockholm. I'll try to negociate my salary a bit. I've had the same, since I got here. No raise. I think? Not sure come to think of it. Well, you can always try. I'm actually looking forward to it all now. If I could chose, I'd still stay here and do what I do, but that's not gonna happen, so... Well, this isn't all bad. It's kinda nice to go when you're peaking. Not when things start to go the other way. The only thing that worries me, that is finding a place to stay in Stockholm. But I'm in no rush. Helena has been so very kind to let me stay at her place. What would you do without friends like her I wonder... She's the greatest! :)
Me and Mattias went on our normal route today. Lunch at Leicester Sq, a stroll to Fopp, spent way too much money, had a coffee, a beer and kept walking around. Today was freezing! Well, not freezing perhaps, but a lot cooler than these past few days. Kinda nice really. Got some new movies and a few, just a few records. ;) Damn, I'm gonna miss this life. I guess it's been way too good. But if everybody got the chance to work like I do, I think people would perform much better. That's just what I think...
I read something very funny in today's London Lite... The lyrics that have irritated music fans most over the years. Whether overly pretentious, a lame excuse for a rhyme or just plain ridiculous, the words that make listeners cringe are being compiled in a chart. Examples supplied in a poll for The worst pop lyric in the world... Ever include the baffling reference to apple crumble in ABC's That was then this is now, and meek admission of Des'ree in Life: "I don't want to see a ghost... I'd rather have a piece of toast."
The winner (or rather loser) will be annouced by DJ Marc Riley on his BBC6 show tomorrow. But there is controversy over some overlooked classics, such as Elton John's apparently pointless line in Your song; "If I was a sculptor - but then again, no..."
Before you continue, I'd like to say, I know I haven't written anything really. But if I would, I'd rather scrap the song than release it... If I would have written anything like this that is.
Some really shitty lyrics:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABC: That was then but this is now
"More sacrifices than an Aztec priest. Standing here at that leash. All fall down. Can't complain, musn't grumble, help yourself to another piece of apple crumble..."
Yikes!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snap: Rhythm is a dance:
I'm as serious as cancer, when I say rhythm is a dancer.
Say what!?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Human League: The Lebanon
Before he leaves the camp he stops. He scans the world outside. And where there used to be some shops, is where the snipers sometimes hide...
Nooo, Phil, c'mon... That's not a good rhyme...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Razorlight: Somewhere else
And I met a girl, she asked my name, I told her what it was.
I'm not even gonna comment on this one...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duran Duran: Is there something I should know?
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door. Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war!
*sigh*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oasis: Champange supernova
Slowly walking down the hall. Faster than a cannonball. Where were you when we were getting high?
Probably somewhere else. And staying away from drugs!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Des'ree: Life
I don't want to see a ghost. It's the sight that I fear most. I'd rather have a piece of toast, watching the evening news.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Sabbath: War pigs
Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses.
Hmmm, I guess they ran out of words...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toto: Africa
The wild dogs cry out in the night. As they grow restless longing for some solitary company. I know that I must do right. Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
Pretentious? Moi?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But the worst one, all categories. That's actually a swedish song.
Do you remember Caramell? They had like one hit. Perhaps more. I tend to jump/bend/fold/scratch every Caramell record I got my hands on. This is in swedish, and I won't even bother to translate.
Ring ring jag ringer med min telefon
jag hoppas du ska svara
jag vill att du tar mig härifrån
till en plats där jag vill vara
låt oss fara dit när solen gått ner
jag hoppas du ber
Kan inte tänka på annat
än bara dej
tjollahopptjollahej
You can N O T do that... This really sucks. You can't make a rhyme out of "än bara dej, tjollahopptjollahej..."
I know there a lot of shitty lyrics out there. But these ones are some of the worst. Have you got any lyrics that could possibly be worse? Please leave them below! :)
That said, I actually feel a lot better. This has been on my mind for a long time! ;)
