We've all heard them...awful lyrics in popular songs. Here are my most hated:
From Horse with No Name by America:
quote:
America wrote:
In the desert, you can't remember your name
Cuz there aint no one for to give you no pain.
Then there was the one-off superband, Emerson, Lake, & Powell who gave us this in their sorta hit Touch & Go:
quote:
the other white ELP wrote:
Man in the street, nowhere to sleep
No time for nothing, no Patek Philippe
The thing that always struck me about that one is that I have always had a place to sleep, but I've never been able to afford a Patek Philippe watch. Funny how these prog-rock gods pity the poor guy who can't afford a $20,000 watch.
But, if you're going to drop names, you have to include what I think is the most awful couplet of all time, from Love Will Find a Way by Yes:
quote:
band way beyond its prime wrote:
Here is my heart
Waiting for you
Here is my soul
I eat at Chez Nous
What are yours?
