I am very interested in song lyrics and have built up a collection of the very best and the very worst. When looking for very bad lyrics, I ignore intentionally bad lyrics and go for ones that were supposed to be good but are terrible.
Here are my two favourite worst sets of lyrics:
Extract from I Did What I Did For Maria: (Tony Christie)
Sunrise, this is the last day that I'll ever see
Out in the court yard they're ready for me,
But I go to my Lord with no fear,
Cos I did what I did for Maria.
As I rode into town, all the shutters were down
Cos they knew I had come, with my hand on my gun,
And revenge in my heart for Maria,
I did what I did for Maria.
Extract from Teen Angel
That fateful night our car was stalled
Up on the rail road track,
I pulled you out and we were safe .....
But you went running back!
