Right behind you!
Nirvana - Rape Me

Rape me
Rape me my friend
Rape me
Rape me again
I'm not the only one (x4)
Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me my friend
I'm not the only one (x4)
My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn
Rape me
Rape me my friend
Rape me
Rape me again
I'm not the only one (x4)
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!


F**king Nirvana, man.. what a craptastic (and overrated) band if there ever was one.
Definitely not their most insightful of songs, but no need to get so angry about it :p

The ending lyrics to "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones is just wrong, terrible lyrics imo:

You, you make a dead man come
You, you make a dead man come


I mean, come on! The rest of the song was fine lyrically, but those last two lines just make me shudder!

Also:
Culture Club's "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?"

Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
Precious kisses, words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why

In my heart the fire's burning
Choose my color, find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step, a step too far

Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?


Ugh, this song is just so weak and pathetic, namely for the lyrics.

Let's play count the clichés:

We both lie silently still in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside (1)
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right (2)
Tho' I tried not to hurt you (3)
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

Every rose has its thorn (4)
Just like every night has its dawn (5)
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song (6)
Every rose has its thorn

Yea it does


I listen to your favorite song playin' on the radio (7)
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
Easy come and easy go (8)
But I wonder does he know
Has it ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess (9)

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you
The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains (10)

(solo)

I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say (11)
Instead if making love
We both made our separate ways (12)

Now I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you (13)
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife, I guess (bonus for the "cuts like a knife" cliché twice in one song)

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

So that's 13 with a double. Can you beat that?:eek:hyeah:

I was watching a show the other night and Bret Michaels was on and he talked about that song and how he came to write it.. He said. He made the call to his girlfriend and heard a guys voice in the back ground and pretty much didn't say anything and hung up..
The title he said meant.. The rose signifies his current success he was having with the band Poison and the thorn was the girl who broke his heart..
The good with the bad so to speak..

Right, it's a cliché. It's like using the sunrise to represent new hope. He didn't think of that himself.:heheh: The girl that Brett wrote that song about said that she endured years of infidelity before Brett dumped her over the phone. She said girls would come up to her at shows and say "Hi my names ____ and I (slept with) your boyfriend last night." Whatever, rock stars are rock stars, but let's not paint Brett as the poor broken hearted victim here.

Well I "get" the song and think the lyrics are pretty descriptive. It works for me since I can relate to that situation.. I'll point this out even though it dosn't shine a good light on the band..

"Every Rose Has Its Thorn" is a power ballad/rock song by American glam metal band Poison. It was released in 1988 as the third single from Poison's second album Open Up And Say...Ahh!. It is the band's first and only number-one hit in the U.S., reaching the top spot on Christmas Eve in 1988 for three weeks (carrying over into 1989). It was a #13 hit in the UK. "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" was named number 34 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 80's", #100 on their "100 Greatest Love Songs" and #3 on their " Top 25 Power Ballads" by MTV and VH1.

I "get" it too, it's impossible not to "get" because it is a series of easily recognized cliches. It's lazy songwriting at it's worst.

The Sharp Hint Of New Tears lyrics

On the way home,
this car hears my confessions.
I think tonight I'll take the long way.
This weather.
The wind outside is biting.
It has left me feeling tired & exposed.
You've been asking me to bleed.
It seems these kinds of questions
come too easy to you now.
Your lack of shame comes naturally.
I should not be surprised.
I should have seen it sooner.

You expect me to apologize
for things that you've done wrong.
While you're inciting others.
You're owning up to nothing
and I wish that I was gone,
because you're not going anywhere.

This damp air
is fighting my defroster.
My sighs they ring victorious
& fog this tinted glass.
It's clouded
& so is my head.
The hint of these new tears are sharp.
I try to choke them back.
But it's useless.
I am useless against them.
They are beating me with ease.

On the way home
this car hears my confessions.
I think tonight I'll take the long way.

You expect me to apologize
for things that you've done wrong.
While you're inciting others.
You're owning up to nothing
and I wish that I was gone,
because you're not going anywhere.

On the way home
this car hears my confessions.
I think tonight I'll take the long way.
