Horrible Lines in Songs

Bored , so here is a time wasting topic, lines in songs that make you cringe. Two for me -
1 - someone brought this up to me recently and now I can't listen to the song -
Morrissey - More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get
"I will be In the bar With my head On the bar"
2 - Mclusky
"got more songs than a song convention"

anytime a word is used to rhyme with itself is rather painful.
I am just a sk8er boi, I said see yer later boi….
An old favourite is I am serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer
A new one is, we have got 200 sofas.

Soul Asylum's big comeback single on the album after the one with Runaway Train started with the line "They say misery loves company, we should start a company and make misery." Just painful to listen to. With one line they killed the band.

that's not true. i've always enjoyed this line:
"Everybody's Rapping Like It's A Commercial Actin' Like Life Is A Big Commercial"
-beastie boys, pass the mic
oh thats another one I have always hated, but otherwise that is probably one of the only Beastie songs I like

Jack Johnson: just awful…what does this mean?
It's as simple as something that nobody knows that her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes…

I came into the world as a reject
Look into these eyes
Then you'll see the size of the flames
That are pullin on my past
Burnin on my brain
Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain
Hey, I think about the day
My girlie went ran with my pay
When fellas came to play
Now she's stuck with my homies that she fucked
And I'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat
Like a chump, hey
Should I be feelin' bad?
Should I be feelin' good?
It's kinda sad I'm the laughing stock of the neighborhood
And you would think that I'd be movin' on
But I'm a sucker like I said
Fucked up in the head, not!
And maybe she just made a mistake
And I should give her a break
But my heart will ache either way
Hey, what the hell, what you want me to say?
I won't lie, that I can't deny
I did it all for the nookie, c'mon
The nookie, c'mon
So you can take that cookie
And stick it up your.. yeah!
Stick it up your.. yeah!
Stick it up your.. yeah!
Stick it up your
Why did it take so long?
Why, did I wait so long, huh?
To figure it out, but I did it
And I'm the only one
Underneath the sun who didn't get it
I can't believe that I could be deceived
By my so-called girl, but in reality
She had a hidden agenda
She put my tender, heart in a blender
And still I surrender
Like a chump, hey
I did it all for the nookie, c'mon
The nookie, c'mon
So you can take that cookie
And stick it up your.. yeah!
Stick it up your.. yeah!
Stick it up your.. yeah!
Stick it up your
I'm only human
It's so easy for your friends to give you their advice
They'll tell you, just let it go
It's easier said than done
I appreciate it, I do, but
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone
And nothing gonna change
You can go away
I'm just gonna stay here
And always be the same
I did it all for the nookie, c'mon
The nookie, c'mon
So you can take that cookie
And stick it up your.. yeah!
Stick it up your.. yeah!
Stick it up your.. yeah!
Stick it up your

what is this Shite?
Black Plastic Bag
Who's paying your mortgage?
Daddy's dying.
Throw yourself on the body.
Take out your sharp teeth.
Line your lungs with noise then just sew it up.
In and out is like this it's like a fist.
You want the questions you got your answers down.
You want the answers, you got the face fleshed out.
The air is full of harmonies but is anyone even sleeping right?
Every town gets an Eiffel Tower, don't worry.
Every town gets an Eiffel Tower tonight.
Everyone is sleeping under one tonight.

The city is dark but we're not scared
Wrapped up in each other
Making loving out of nothing like the air supplier said

Oh and this
Lady Came from Baltimore - by Johnny Cash
I usually love Johnny Cash … if you can't make it rhyme just use the
same word.
"The lady's name was Susan Moore, her daddy read the law.
She didn't know that I was poor, and lived outside the law.
Her daddy said I was a thief and didn't marry her for love.
But I was Susan's true belief, and I married her for love"
Johnny didn't write it, but he chose to sing it.

Thanks…
At least now we will know that GGW is the master imposter, and not me.
