Song lyrics you disagree with

[stickygirl]

You sing along with tunes then find yourself thinking 'Hang on, no. That's not what I want. think or do. How has that singer got it so wrong?'

I'll kick off with one from KT Tunstall, who's music I love, but this line makes me shout 'No, you can't!' every time
'Do you ever think you're being thought about?
Do you still believe we need to sort things out?
Does it matter now, all those things we said?
I want to know can I still creep into your bed at night and leave your head alone.'

Totally not! Fuck - we're supposed to be breaking up and you're still in the house, which is bad enough, but if you do that, my head will be messed up for days.

I was really surprised to hear those words from her

There must be more... lets hear them

 

[BongoGal]

"People who need people are the luckiest people in the world."

 

[Modern_drunkard]

Depends on the day I guess...

I hate rock 'n' roll
And all these people with nothing to show
I hate rock 'n' roll
I hate it cause its fucks with my soul

 

[stickygirl]

It's been a hard days night
and I've been working like a dog

Dogs don't work: if I had a tail I wouldn't be wagging at it at any time during my working day. Even police dogs think it's fun and they're goofing around. And what is a hard day's night? I blame the drugs

 

[lovetopleasewomen]

The theme song from M.A.S.H. "Suicide Is Painless"

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

Suicide is not painless, not for anybody. Just ask the family & friends of those who committed suicide. If it's not painless for them it certainly isn't painless for the one who committed suicide.

 

[Modern_drunkard]

My love you should know
The best of me left hours ago so
Shove it right into my mouth and let me smolder
Fallout and the damage done
I can't un-sing the things I've sung
Still not giving up though
I wish that i was sober

Keep in mind that I like Pink. Most of her songs are kick-ass and great to play at top volume while singing along. Except for this one song, which no matter how catchy the beat is, I can't get these lines out of my head.

How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty
Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
But baby I don't mean it
...
I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I can't be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry.

Am I the only one who hears these and thinks it's fucking abusive? Imagine if a man sang these words to a woman.

^^^shudders. I agree. I turn that one off when I hear it.

 

[Bewleybrother]

Your too old to lose it,too young to choose it
And the clock waits patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe,but you don't eat when you've lived too long

 

[stickygirl]

^^^shudders. I agree. I turn that one off when I hear it.

It's sadly a bit of theme
"He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
...
He hurt me but it felt like true love
Jim taught me that
Loving him was never enough"
Lana Del Rey
I don't really give a fuck if it's supposed to be ironic or fear censoring artists - this is so wrong. She knew what she was writing and had a choice. Florence and the Machine did a similar one. Fuck em. They live privileged lives and think its cool...

 

[Modern_drunkard]

I save burnt food....


Take it easy
Walk with a light step, baby
Catch a breezy
Live amongst the life forms in your day
Marinate a good piece of beef
Understand the mind of a leaf
Swim around 'til the fish float out of the socket in your skull
Dive deeper
Corner all the fungus in your brain
Take it easy
I wanna live the life in vain
More you chew things, or leave them to rot
Woke up with a nose full of snot
Baked a muffin,
The tops burnt and I had to throw them away

 

[Modern_drunkard]

More like 3 decades...

Well, I don't like talkin' to myself
But someone's gotta say it, hell
I mean, things have not been going well
This time I think I finally fucked myself
You see, the life I live is sickening
I spent a decade playing chicken with oblivion
Day to day, I'm neck and neck with giving in
I'm the same old wreck I've always been

 

[Ezeerider]

I must take issue

It's been a hard days night
and I've been working like a dog

Dogs don't work: if I had a tail I wouldn't be wagging at it at any time during my working day. Even police dogs think it's fun and they're goofing around. And what is a hard day's night? I blame the drugs

Dogs don't work?
You might wanna rethink that one, especially since there are so many types of hard-working dogs. If you're a city-dweller, you may just not be aware of them or what they do.

For a quick reassessment, just place yourself behind a team of huskies some time. Or for that matter, just one. They have incredible power and a load of knowledge all working, sometimes over great spans of time and distance, and in brutal conditions. I had one who could pull several times his weight in a sled, all the while reading the ice or snow with uncanny accuracy.

How about hunting dogs who will plunge into frigid waters and swim to retrieve?

But here's my own nomination for totally BS lyrics: Mellencamps "Small Town," where he claims "...Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be."

Hoo boy. If you've ever actually lived in a truly small town, you know that there's nothing farther from the truth ... unless what you want to be is exactly what everyone else there expects you to be, which is pretty much just like them. Departures or deviations are not well-tolerated in the vast majority of cases.

Me? I left and never looked back.
