Lyrics that make you cringe

[Andy in Germany]

Not necessarily lyrics from awful songs. Just awful lyrics.

Most of them, to be honest.

I never did get the whole music thing.

 

[Marchrider]

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town

I'm not a detective but do you think it could be any where near the jail ?
Wheres @Drago he may have some clues


"Hey baby, meet me I'm a tough guy. Got my Sycle outside, you wanna try"

If they had only said Bicycle - it might of worked

 

[MontyVeda]

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town

I'm not a detective but do you think it could be any where near the jail ?
...

Are you reading my mind?

 

[Chris S]

Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire

Gary Glitter Bruce Springsteen

Maybe the escape is being done by means of a long tunnel, and the singer is unsure where in town the tunnel will emerge

I have pondered on this one for many years, but the tunnel will start at the prison. or would the prison take jurisdiction of any tunnel until it eventually breaks the surface

 

[Ian H]

Mostly I just hear the singer as another instrument. I seldom take any notice of the actual words.

it gets worse...

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher.

...i presume he's still referring to her father?!

Definitely more creepy than cringy

same here but one day i was listening to the aforementioned I'm On Fire and thought...

Tricky. Now if, instead of a tunnel, they had escaped directly from the prison into the town's sewers - rather than tunnels they had dug themselves - and emerged somewhere in the town, how would this affect things? I think in that case the escape would definitely be local to the prison.

In both cases they're written from the POV of horny teenagers. Not a 40yo man. CASE DISMISSED 🔨 !

p.s. Tina Turner has never done private dances for money. Just FYI.

"I've got an overdose of doctors notes"

Nobody outside RCT would understand that, Dave

What's the song that rhymes motor-cycle with pickle? {Possibly by Guthrie older/younger?)

 

[Dogtrousers]

Perhaps there is more than one jail?

Or perhaps, in a Kafkaesque twist, the entire town consists of nothing but jails.
