her stories are boring and stuff/ shes always calling my bluff

that part of "obstacle 1" by interpol is so pretty but those lyrics kinda ruin it

StevOK · 08.11.2009, 10:07 PM

I find that almost all lyrics are stupid. Almost.

the mars volta have great songs but pretty pointless lyrics

Stijn · 08.12.2009, 02:36 AM

pavement ofcourse
although they have at least one good line in every song

chrome noise tape · 08.12.2009, 03:41 AM

do you mean if someone sing using reality it's a stupid lyric, and with no-sense words sounds cool and arty?...just asking.

artsygrrl · 08.12.2009, 07:44 AM

Wow that's terrible haha

atsonicpark · 08.12.2009, 07:55 AM

I don't pay attention to lyrics (since they're almost always shit, in any band), unless they're produced by true poets like Don Van Vliet, Sterling Smith, or Mark E. Smith. Maybe another reason I like listening to Japanese music... don't have to focus so much on the awful lyrics. (though, I've read some translations and guess what? Japanese bands really like to talk about the sexual politics of seducing 13 year old schoolgirls with opium!)

SuperCreep · 08.12.2009, 08:09 AM

The Cars

gualbert · 08.12.2009, 08:09 AM

Almost everything by The Ramones.
"I don't wanna walk around with you, so why do you wanna walk around with me?"

atsonicpark · 08.12.2009, 08:10 AM

Wow. That line is brilliant actually.
