The following posts in this thread will have to have some limits imposed on them. The main rule is that only one crappy lyric is allowed from each "artist". The real reason that I introduce this rule is because otherwise Simon le Bon would have all of the top five places.
My all time favourite worst lyric from le Bon is: "I smell like I sound."
Bad?
However, you can't get in the top five with a single line, it has to be a sustained effort. Choosing almost at random from le Bon's substantial body of work (his ouevre if you will), I would like you to savour the ungrammatical obscurity of Last Chance on the Stairway:
I don't remember quite how I met you, wasn't long ago
Just get a picture of sun, in your eyes,
The waves in your hair
Maybe it's something said in a movie or you could've said last night.
Just took me out on a limb
And I don't really know what I'm doing here.
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide
My beats so in time, can you look at me
I'm out of reach,
I'll talk if it feels right
I've had my last chance on the stairway.
Funny it's just like a scene out of Voltaire,
Twisting out of sight
Cause when all the curtains are pulled back
We'll turn and see the circles wet raced
Aint no game... (oooh)
When you're playing with fire
It doesn't seem right that we fight
So the party runs on all night
So nervous to say, tell me can't you see
If you want I'll fall out foreverI cant say no more... babe dance with me
And please don't say leave till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway.
Wonder why... (wonder why oooh)
What makes me rise so high
Maybe its something they put in your perfume
Or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking
Oh, I don't even know what you're thinking
Don't even know what you're drinking
But it keep this heaven alive
You and I both know that in our life times Le Bon will be celebrated as a great poet and he will be studied by earnest undergraduates.
Actually, I could run that course.
