Baby, can’t you seeI’m callingA guy like youShould wear a warningIt’s dangerousI’m fallin’
There’s no escapeI can’t waitI need a hitBaby, give me itYou’re dangerousI’m lovin’ it
Too highCan’t come downLosing my headSpinning ‘round and ‘roundDo you feel me now
With a taste of your lipsI’m on a rideYou're toxic I'm slipping underWith a taste of a poison paradiseI’m addicted to youDon’t you know that you’re toxicAnd I love what you doDon’t you know that you’re toxic
It’s getting lateTo give you upI took a sipFrom my devil's cupSlowlyIt’s taking over me
Too highCan’t come downIt’s in the airAnd it’s all aroundCan you feel me now
Don't you know that you're toxic
[x2]With a taste of your lipsI'm on a rideYou're toxic I'm slipping underWith a taste of a poison paradiseI'm addicted to youDon't you know that you're toxic
Intoxicate me nowWith your lovin' nowI think I'm ready nowI think I'm ready nowIntoxicate me now With your lovin' nowI think I'm ready now

That badass G-Side song became less badass to me when I realized they were saying "ROLL TIDE". Such a shame, it's got a classic I'm about to fuck shit up" vibe like pac's "If I die tonight" or dire straits' "tunnel of love"

"Starry Eyes" has really terrible lyrics for such a great song.

Descendent's "I'm Not a Loser" ruined by the homophobic ending

WTF "Starry Eyes" has great lyrics! Bonus points for a title that implies it's a love song.

Which "Starry Eyes"? The Records? Roky Erickson? Somebody else?

I much prefer the lyrics in Too Much Joy's version of Starry Eyes to the Records, but they're even more insidery, I think.

So many Descendents songs ruined by misogyny too. If those guys were getting started today, they'd be fedora'd up.

academy fight song
tarnished probably isn't even right, i just have no idea wtf he's talking about

however no one can deny that "I'm not judging you, I'm judging me" is an all-time great fist pumping lyric, buried in the midst of wtf

I'm reminded of the time in high school when we couldn't figure out the lyrics to any of the songs on The Jam's In The City. So we made up our own as best as we could.
Some years later we learned what the actual lyrics were and we liked ours more. Have been (unfairly?) harsh on Weller ever since.

OTM, the worst opening couplet in rock history

I've been listening to the Doors recently, and there's, er, quite a few of these in their repertoire. That "Bullets strike the helmet's head" line in "The Unknown Soldier" is one that springs immediately to mind.

Another one by Luna, from 'Sideshow by the Seashore':
Then I painted your face/On a twenty dollar bill/But it isn't legal tender/And I think about you still

I think A Night In Tunisia might possibly be bad lyrics, but how come it lifts my spirits so much? Some aberration there that needs sorting out.

"Thinkin Bout You" by Frank Ocean: an all-time classic slow jam, which makes an unrequited crush sound like some kind of communion with the divine. The falsetto is other-worldly. But every time i hear it, i wish he'd just left out the second verse:
No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cool enough to kick itGot a beach house I could sell you in IdahoSince you think I don't love you, I just thought you were cuteThat's why I kissed youGot a fighter jet, I don't get to fly it though, I'm lying down
Actually the first verse is pretty dodgy too. It was like an act of intentional self-sabotage.
