All you have to do is post a set of lyrics (maybe even a video of the song) & rate a set as well. Simple enough? I'll kick things off:

Maroon 5 "Until You're Over Me"

This relationship is over,

though my stomach still hurts.

And now I'm gonna live alone,

Why is the pain much worse?

You're so much better without makeup,

Why would you hide your face?

Don't want to spend the night and wake up,

Realize I've made a big mistake.

I can not refuse your eyes,

Please don't look at me tonight.

My heart beats fast I know you're there,

I pretend like I dont care.

It hurts so bad to know the truth,

But I am still in love with you.

I never meant to keep you waiting,

and now your food is getting cold,

I keep denying I'm in love with you,

My routine is getting old.

And now you stand up from the table,

And say you never look back.

do something stupid when you're angry,

You only wake up sad.

I can not refuse your eyes,

Please don't look at me tonight.

My heart beats fast I know you're there,

And I pretend like I dont care.

It hurts so bad to know the truth,

But I am still in love with you.

It hurts soo much to know the truth,

But I am still in love with you.

No more kisses on your lips, tender touch or speach...

I'd rather die on my two feet than live down on my knees.

And you're the girl to get me over what we start to be??

And I just cant get over you, and until you're over me.

I can not refuse your eyes,

Please don't look at me tonight.

My heart beats fast I know you're there,

And I pretend like I dont care.

I can not refuse your eyes,

Please don't look at me tonight.

My heart beats fast I know you're there,

And I pretend like I dont care.

It hurts too much to know the truth,

But I am still in love with you.

It hurts too much to know the truth,

But I am still in love with you.

I'm not a lyric elitist, I like my bit of 'obvious' and the like. But to be honest. Nothing really annoys me more than your bog standard, mainstream rock/indie, 'love' lyrics......very much like those. Nothing wrong with rhyming, but there's times where things make me cringe as they're basically thrown in for the rhyme.

I can not refuse your eyes,

Please don't look at me tonight.

My heart beats fast I know you're there,

I pretend like I dont care.

See, whilst not a lyrical gem, it's not bad, until the last line, where it just kills all interest I have.

It hurts so bad to know the truth,

But I am still in love with you.

Eugh...just...eugh.

I'd rather die on my two feet than live down on my knees.

Now...I like that...great snippet there.

And you're the girl to get me over what we start to be??

And I just cant get over you, and until you're over me.

Is it just me....or does that make NO FUCKING SENSE!!!...to anyone else?

3/10. It is what it is. And for what it is, it's not bad. Just, totally not my thing.

"San Francisco Serenade" by Bad Astronaut

We run like it kills us to stay

If judged I'd be nothing till the day that I stopped you

As trite as these things might seem to anyone else

I wrote them down to document

My worth is you

My worth is you

Excessive city, we can't afford to stay

But home to the sane, somehow safe now

We can't afford to leave

Transformation and tragedy leads conclusion

Our world marches to drums of death

You're my rest.

The stories will sleep

Say goodnight to them

You know it's ending

Slow my mind

Silence untruth

Take my broken hands

Watch the world renew

The stories read of hospitals and alcohol and empty households

The bars were steeped in honesty while your retreat was east of me

The buildings fell on everything and everyone was incoherent

Our time is now. We're leaving

You're my death

I'm your disease

Together we will bleed

Devotedly concede

La la la la

La la la la

Take my broken hand

We'll watch it all ending

We'll watch it all ending

7.5/10, they're pretty good lyrics.

Disarray by Lifehouse

I've faced my demons

Wrestled these angels to the ground

And all that I could find

Was a thin line between

All the saints and villains

It was crossed in my own eyes

Someday I'm gonna find it

Wish I knew what I was looking for

Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)

I woke up this morning

Don’t know where I’m going

But it’s alright

I wouldn't have it any other way

I’m struggling between the facts and fiction

I’m alone

But I'm alive

Everyone around me is trying to make a statement, then there's me

I’m just trying to survive

Someday I'm gonna find it

Wish I knew what I was looking for

Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)

I woke up this morning

Don’t know where I’m going

But it’s alright

I wouldn't have it any other way

If this was any other day

I pretend to know where I stand

I Just don’t know (just don’t know)

I Just don’t know

Someday I'm gonna find it

Wish I knew what I was looking for

Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)

I woke up this morning

Don’t know where I’m going

But it’s alright

I wouldn't have it any other way

Someday I will find it

Wish I knew what I was looking for

Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)

I woke up this morning

Don’t know where I’m going

But it’s alright
