"And in this ever changing world In which we live in" (Great song, Incredible Production, lame-a$$ line... where was Johnny when he needed him?) All of "Billy Don't Be a Hero" .
Yes it's "in which we're living" and he pronounces living as livin', not live in. So many people hear this one wrong. I did it for years!
Song: Yummy Yummy Yummy Artist: Artie Resnick and Joey Levine "Yummy Yummy Yumy i've got love in my tummy"
Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano, Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know 'Cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head, And some blonde gave me nightmares. I think that she's still in my bed. As I dream about movies They won't make of me when I'm dead. With an ironclad fist I wake up and French-kiss the morning While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking About all of the things that I long to believe: About love, the truth, what you mean to me. And the truth is, Baby, you're all that I need. I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses, For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails. Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is, And lay you down on a bed of roses. Well, I'm so far away. Each step that I take is on my way home. A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this pay-phone. Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through. 'Til the bird on the wire flies me back to you I'll just close my eyes and whisper, "Baby, blind love is true." Well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry. The barkeeper's wig's crooked and she's giving me the eye. Well, I might have said yeah But I laughed so hard I think I died. Now as you close your eyes Know I'll be thinking about you. While my mistress—she calls me To stand in her spotlight again. Tonight I won't be alone, But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely. I've got nothing to prove For it's you that I'd die to defend. "With an ironclad fist I wake up and French-kiss the morning" might be the worst line ever, but there are some other doozies in this lyrical catastrophe.
Just listened to the song twice... and it is: But if this ever changing world In which we live in" Clear as a bell. (I made mistake above re "And in" instead of the correct "But if" [as pointed out by @Pennywise) but there's no mistaking that he sings "In which we live in" I know that this is often referred to as the McCartney Forum and all, and people want to defend these lame lyrics, but .
That's "we're livin'" for sure. The second time may be "we live in", but it's not clear. Nothin wrong with the lyric either way, though.
Nothing wrong with 'In which we live in'? Well, maybe if you're a fan of the Department of Redundancy Department.
Maybe not the worst ever, but still, sheesh.... At the Houses of Parliament Everybody's talking about the President We all chip in for a bag of cement Olly Hardy should have had more sense He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence All for the sake of a couple of pence Wings - Junior's Farm
She says she loves you And you know that can't be bad Yes, she loves you And you know you should be glad, Woooooooh She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah And with a love like that You know you should be glad
"The world in which we live"? That sucks. "The world in which we live in"? Sure it's redundant, but it flows nicely.
And that's what he sings. (The first time at least. ) He said it himself when asked about this very issue a while back...
OK the redundant "in" in this line is my bugbear too. It should surely have been "in which we're living", which scans and is grammatical (mind you, when has rock ever been grammatical?). So I looked this one up online. Both versions are there! So now I've just given it a listen. Macca definitely sings "in which we live in". So do GNR in their version.
Anybody mention this brilliant one yet? "Squeeze me baby, 'till the juice runs down my leg Squeeze me baby, 'till the juice runs down my leg The way you squeeze my lemon, I I'm gonna fall right out of bed, bed, bed, bed, yeah"
This is a hard one, not really "worst lyrics" but a trope that infects even my favourite songs, some of the best of all time. Apologies to those of you who say this in real life but I have never once in my life used "babe" or "baby" except when referring to an actual baby, or maybe referring to an adult behaving childishly. Really don't like it.
F*** all that we've got to get on with these" Not Now John - Pink Floyd That whole song is just silly. I love Floyd more than oxygen, but after a certain point Waters gets to place where I find him unlistenable. People dump on Gilmour's lyrics (and rightly so in some cases), but I would take his worst stuff over Waters' worst any day.
I loves me some Beach Boys, but boy are the lyrics to Salt Lake City bad. Clunky repetition, no rhymes, and terrible slanguage. This must have been when Brian was listening to a lot of "How to Speak Hip" by Del Close. Down in Utah The guys and I dig a city called Salt Lake It's got the grooviest kids That's why we never get tired of Salt Lake And the way the kids talk so cool Is an out of sight thing
So, when some people hear it one way (I'm not the only one), and you hear it another, you're right and they're wrong. Got it.
