WORST SONG LYRIC OF 2007

Well it’s that time of the year again – meaningless-list time – and, not being one to avoid a cliché if it ain’t broke, here’s my contribution:

“A child with no father
Is like a blind man who can’t see
He walks alone in a path
A path of uncertainty”

‘Like a blind man who can’t see?!’ What’s that, as opposed to a blind man with a full 20-20?! I may be exaggerating a little, but it’s almost on a par with rhyming ‘move’ and ‘groove’. You may think not, but you’re not being assailed by this on an iPod that thinks ‘shuffle songs’ means ‘let’s wind the fucker up with another rendition of the stating-the-bloody-obvious song’. And he walks ‘in a path’ too – not a bad skill – I’m sure Charles Xavier’ll be able to find some use for him.

C’mon producer, sort it out! Despite that, it’s a cracking tune – I did buy it f’Christ’s sake. Except I can’t ‘despite that’: every time I hear it again, that lyric jumps out like a professional Ooh-Made-Ya-Jumper. I hear it when I’m not even listening to the bloody tune. It’s gotta go, and this is that first step of the delyric-detox process. I’m already feeling a little cleaner.

Aah better…

Yes, producer, do y’job – produce!!! Either get the singer/lyricist to get his words in order, or dub the pappy bits out. This is not six-million dollar man business – you have the technology…
