Bottom 5 worst song lyrics in the world (according to Johnny Sharp)

List by Johnny Sharp from the book Crap lyrics : a celebration of all the very worst pop lyrics of all time -- ever!.

Pop has never been shy of asking searching questions of its listeners. Why does it always rain on me? Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight? Are we human or are we dancer?
- Johnny Sharp,

Terrible confession: Sometimes, when I'm feeling really juvenile, I perform a keyword search for a curse word and request any title that looks relatively interesting. Which is how I ended up with Johnny Sharp's book Crap lyrics on my desk. I never thought there'd be a time when I would be glad to possess such an awful sense of humour because this, mes amis, is a very funny book. Funny in that laugh-out-loud kinda way and, also, in that wince-because-you-can't-believe-he-just-said-that kinda way, too. Any songs I hadn't heard of I looked up. Did I agree or disagree with Sharp's comments? Sometimes I did - I Want To Sex You Up by Colour Me Badd (remember them from the 90s? Unfortunately, I do). Sometimes I didn't - Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi (I'm always going to be biased about Bon Jovi). Sometimes he made me see songs I already knew in a different light - Horse With No Name by America (I was flabbergasted because that song was one I adored as a child but Sharp sees it as obscure and illogical) *cue tear* As to why I've chosen the bottom 5 as my list (i.e. #6 - #10), I thought they were way more interesting than the top 5 :)

Can you think of any songs that have awful lyrics?

"Film memory has kept them all for us, beyond death or, better, beyond youth."
- Dumitru Ion Suchianu

I have terrible taste in films - I know it, my family knows it and so do my friends. So much so that when my nephews want to have a 'Bad movie night in' they look to me to make the choices. I'm still not sure whether or not that's a compliment. Some nights it keeps me up. (Kidding). Whenever friends suggest getting together to see a movie I cringe way down deep inside because, ultimately, I know this means that we're going to watch one of two types of film: something so arty and obscure as to be beyond my comprehension or, worse, something so touchy-feely-girly-romantic that I'm embarrassed to be a girl. Either way, I'm on the outside looking in. When it's my turn to choose they groan in exasperation because 1) someone will die a spectacularly glorious death complete with explosions and blood on-camera and 2) there will be no romance unless there is a most awesome knock-down drag out fight where the bad guy gets beheaded first. Or handcuffed. To date I'm not sure which pleases me most. Needless to say, I don't get asked to the movies much by anybody including my two best friends. (I have only two best friends - I convince myself it's about quality not quantity instead of the truth which is that nobody can stand us except...us).
