Songs you like with terrible lyrics

[adammania9]

We can all poo on songs and artists we despise, but what are some songs that you enjoy that have terrible lyrics?

I’ll get the ball rolling

The verses of Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins are amongst the worst ever written. Can’t believe they made it to the studio.

As a longtime New Order fan.....yeah I have more than a few.

I love NO's music, but Bernard is a pretty terrible lyricist.

The Needle And The Damage Done. Beautiful melody, but trite lyrics that I'm sure NY wouldn't subscribe to now.

ZZ Top - Ten Foot Pole

Mostly nonsensical gibberish in the lyrics, but cool song.
