Worst Lyric from a BJ or Solo song?
 
Just for fun (so don't get on my case! :wink: ) what is, in your opinion, the worst lyric from any BJ or Solo song. What line from a particular song makes you sit back and say "huh" or "what the"? I have chosen a couple of classics from the JBJ song "Queen of New Orleans":

"That night I made a move, man I fell hard
When I put my hands in her cookie jar"


cookie jar????? what were you thinking Jon? :?

"Nothing's what it seems
She was a Venus de Milo in her sister's jeans"


mmmm last time I looked the Venus De Milo HAD NO ARMS!!!!!!!! :?

So...... let the fun begin...... :lol: :lol:

You work and live and breathe that 9 to 5
Still that's what you call living
Hah That's surviving to me

From Fear. They are somehow talking snide about people who have to work from 9 to 5. Not everyone is in the position to decide how much to work.

And

And aliens control our lives
And when we speak, they're in our minds
And Heather Locklear is my wife
And, Man ain't I a lucky guy

From I talk to Jesus.

It's not nice to compare being married to Heather who is a bandmembers wife with being controlled by Alliens.

Cold hard heart
"I was a lover lost at sea, you found me washed up on the beach. You took me home and gave me breakfast.
I said I'd offer you protection, but you didn't charge a fee"
First of all: What!?
Second: It don't fit the music at all. It sounds like Jon is making it all up right there in the spot!

the first lyrics in IML has always been bad.
this ain't a song for the brokenhearted... pppfy! that sucks.

This ain't a love song, the hole lyrics of this song is bad...

if I was you mother, the lyrics suck. especially the part

"Could I teach you what's right
Could I tell you stories
Maybe tuck you in
And kiss you sweet goodnight"

That's the whole idea behind it. It's the fear that you're stuck in the way you live. So it's not talking snide.

I'm getting a bit sick of the lyric "live while I'm alive" They used it in Sleep, then came IML and now Everyday. We've heard it by now.

I don't think so, though I think the song itself sucks. But I think it's about a girl you really want but you can't get since she's doing al sorts of stupid things she never did before. If they would have put the lyrics on a better melody, it would have worked I think.

from Breakout :

"You say we'll meet around midnight
You're gonna make me feel oh so right
I'm saying oh no not tonight
You gotta let me go"

I mean, oh poor man :roll: !!!! (definitely not the best lyrics :P )

Ok, all the lyrics from Say It Isn't So. I like the song as a whole but the lyrics are well messed up :P

Sambo-Chris, it's all there. I heard Jon saying in some interview that people should do what they do for love towards the matter, even work, I might add. Also, he refers to people to whom life is just mostly surviving, not about passion and love, just surviving. They can't do what they want because are afraid of the consequences, in case something went wrong.

That is really beautiful philosophy, when you understand it. And this is just my opinion.

Today it seems I can't agree on anything. Are you even serious about this one? :P It's great, funny song in it's own personal way. All those verses are just as true. Some reference to his good friends wife is... thats only polite :!: :!: Man, wouldn't I be a lucky guy in Richies bed. Err... I mean Heathers.. dammit! You get the idea...

Must agree about this "live while I'm alive" verse. That's pretty much the meaning of your life (!!!), and by now, they have said it clearly enough. If any single from the next album includes this verse, I think I'll just shoot myself. :P :twisted: :mad: :mad:

EVERYBODY RIDES ON THE KARMA TRAIN!

That line is from of Youth from Richie Sambora's Stranger In This Town!

It was hard thinking up five BJ songs I hated (in another thread), but this took only split second, LOL!

The question was 'Worst LYRICS', not songs that you hated. Can you hate a song from a few lyrics in it?
