Lyrics that just rub you the wrong way

[ariston]

Paul McCartney vacillated between great and terrible lyrics, particularly post-Beatles.

Sometimes he could write such twee lyrics that make you want to cringe when you hear them:

We all know that people are the same whereever you go
There is good and bad in ev'ryone
We learn to live, when we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive, together alive

Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord why don't we?

I guess they just can't all be gems, like this holiday masterpiece:

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

That said, Paul's done so much excellent work, I don't mind if he releases a few duds along the way. He'll always be one of my favorite artists.

I'm just glad he's still with us, and still touring!

Also, someone has to be the Van Helsing to Keith Richards' Nosferatu.

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

Made even worse by how out of tune Linda's 'vocals' are...

indeed, the liverpool sound collage album makes up for all the shite

indeed, the liverpool sound collage album makes up for all the shite

I think the Liverpool Sound Collage album was Paul's way of compensating for the suppression of the Avant Garde Carnival of Light recording he did with the Beatles. He just had to get that facet of his musical personality "out there" for the public. Otherwise, he would have felt unfulfilled as an artist—and understandably so.

The best artists are willing to expose themselves fully to their audience, and are often eager to do so.

Take Jim Morrison, for example. He rather famously exposed himself to his audience.

Paul McCartney vs Faul McCartney?

[vurt]

biiiiiiilllllllllyyyyyyy shèeeeeeeeeaarrs!

[gaf_thit]

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Everyday for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

More like: "all these words I just string together cause they sound good... except for "trust I seek" which makes me sound medieval and shit"

If you haven't heard any of their early version takes, do so, if you want to hear how right you are.
At the moment I only remember Wherever I may roam:
And the road becomes my bride
And the road becomes my bride
Na na na na na na na
Na nanana na na na na a... and so on, take after take until all the missing words are filled in.

I guess it's one way to make songs, but...
Anyway, I'm no lyricist

[McLilith]

biiiiiiilllllllllyyyyyyy shèeeeeeeeeaarrs!

I just realized Kid Rock was a Beatles fan.

My name is Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii... {gasps for air} Kiiiiiid Rock!

other than being pamela andersons one time "pony", i have no idea who that is

[dark water]

Sometimes these lyrics really piss me off but then I realize it's just the voices in my head:

[jancivil]

I'm just not very focused on lyrics. most of the music in these examples will be irritating enough.

[Forgotten]

I just realized Kid Rock was a talentless, obnoxious piece of shit from Detroit who pretends he's from the South.

FTFY

[k-tronix]

The degree of misogyny, banal self-aggrandizement, and general misanthropy in rap over the last ten years is just too much. I love hip hop from the 80's and 90's, but they've mostly just lost the plot these days. I shudder to think of the impact on people who enjoy this shite.

And while I'm at it, "get off my lawn!"

Thanks!

I heard someone in a radio interview claim he was from the same area as Kid Rock. He claimed, no one from that neighborhood thought very much about Kid Rock before he became famous. He definitely wasn't considered one of those high school classmates "most likely to succeed". In fact, the general sentiment of the neighborhood was much closer to what you wrote.
