Worst Song Lyrics Ever

The LA Weekly music blog reviews a new book “Crap Lyrics: A Celebration Of The Very Worst Pop Lyrics Of All Time…Ever!” by Johnny Sharp. Here they list the top 12 worst offenders (Warning a horrific picture of Rod Stewart and mature themes)

Here’s two I could print:

12. “Champagne Supernova,” Oasis: “Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball.” Well, which is it?

11. “Pink,”Aerosmith: “Pink—when I turn out the light. Pink—it’s like red but not quite.” Though it’s clear Steven Tyler can tell the difference between red and pink, we still think he’s colorblind.

Pretty bad. But what about Kelly Clarkson and “My Life Would Suck WIthout You?” That song inspired this column.

But surely there’s some great lyrics out there. Any come to mind?
