Smooth like a prism? I mean, I think he was trying to rhyme the word "rhythm", but "smooth like a prism?"

Er, yes? You prefer your optical instruments smooth, trust me.

every time "After the Gold Rush" comes on I think it's really great . . . until he croaks, "And I felt like getting high." NO NO NO YOU MORON YOU'RE *ALREADY* HIGH. That's what makes the song! Idiot.

run wild by new order is a string of heinous lines pulled together but 'im gonna live till i die / im gonna live to get high' takes the cake

another n.o. gem is found in behind close doors: 'i feel it in my bones / i check up on the scores / i listen to the corrs / behind closed doors'

I really like the lyrics (and the idea, in general) of "The more you ignore me, the closer I get" by Morrissey. But the line:

"I will be in the bar / with my head on the bar"

sounds terrible. Although if you think about it, it sort of makes sense in a funny way.

New Sugababes album to thread. "Caught up in the middle, jumping through the riddle"...

wrong thread but..
I think it's Mystikal from 'Shake Ya Ass' when he says 'I came here with my dick in my hand' it's not a bad line, but it just has the the best visuals. Sort of *ding dong* who could it be?

any couplet where the same word is rhymed with itself, or another version of that word ie:

rhyming "our" with "flower"

"pretext" with "text"... it's the same bloody word, just with more letters before it!

i will be at the bar with my head on the bar...

Though I love the song, I hate this break in "Bottle of Fur" by Urge Overkill where he sings

"and I would hold you in the night.....we used to make it 'till daylight"

I cringe every time I hear that insipid bit
