From Jamiroquai's "Emergency on Planet Earth":

"Don't talk about equality, 'cause there's no fish left in the sea."

Is this a non-sequitur? Should the "'cause" be replaced with "and", or some other joining word. Or does Jay-Kay really want to be equal with a fish.

Should we even take this preening peacock's environmental message seriously, seeing as the man COLLECTS CARS. Not one, to get him from A to B, but several of the gas-guzzling monsters which are made from metal which could have gone to some worthy, bleeding heart cause.

Never mind, eh...lets all just do as he says. After all, he's wearing a hat.
 

Eternal - 'Power of a Woman'

"I need your lovin'/ Like a desert needs the rain"

Those deserts survive pretty well without any rain at all.

"I need your lovin' maybe once every century"?

 

I love it. I had forgotten all about Eternal too.
Try this one, from R. Kelly's masterpiece, "Trapped in the Closet":

"How could I be so stupid to be have laid here til the morning sun?"

Speaks for itself really.
 

i know for a fact yr holding back john. you've expressed yr distain for the lyric:

"when the head of state didn't play guitar"

from boHo sandi thom's "i wish i was a punk rocker (with flowers in my hair)" (which is incorrect for a start, but we all reaslised that one aaaaaaages ago). because our head of state, QEII, does not play guitar. she leaves that to brian may.

 

Yes, that entire song is riddled with errors:

"The only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail."

Sandi, telephones were common in the period 1969-1977. They weren't mobile however, which may be what confused you. If you're reading this...back to the drawing board. You may visit DHRB HQ for a few brief lessons in twentieth century history and culture (about which you appear to know nothing). We promise not to whack you to death and leave you in a wheelie bin. Honest.
 

The Destiny's Child back catalogue is cavalcade of nonsensical lyrics.

Haven't paid the first bill
But instead you're headin' to the mall
Goin' on shopping sprees perpetrating
Telling your friends that you be ballin'

Perpetrating what exactly? And don't get me started on 'ballin'. Dictionary.com defines 'ballin' as,

1. To form into a ball.

Telling his friends he's forming into a ball? "Woah man, don't you be ballin all up in ma face!"
 

On point as usual miss Marsh. Who actually writes the lyrics for Destiny's Child ? Surely only a fool would abbreviate cell phone to "celly". Or does everyone do that in America ?
To get back to Sandi Thom, here's another one:

"When footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face."

Sandi, aside from the fact that many footballers continue to sport long hair, you're yearning for a time when footballers shared a collective face. THAT NEVER HAPPENED!
Please stop singing, you're making an utter fool of yourself, and sullying the good name of Tooting.
 

Gun's & Roses - 'Civil War'

"What's so civil 'bout war anyway?'
