    In the Crowd by The Jam:

    I fall into a trance, at the supermarket
    The noise flows me along, as I catch falling cans,of baked beans on toast, technology is the most.

    That Was Then, This is Now by ABC

    Can’t complain, musn’t grumble
    Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble.

    Jesus wept on a bike.(< this is my exclamation, not part of the ABC song)

    How about the cranberries -i just shot john lennon-

    It was the fearful night of December 8th.
    He was returning home from the studio late.
    He had perceptively known that it wouldn’t be nice.
    Because in 1980, he paid the price.

    That is right up there with William Mcgonagall

    Down in The Park – Gary Numan

    Oh, look, there’s a rape machine
    I’d go outside if it looks the other way
    You wouldn’t believe
    The things they do

    Des’ree and her hit single ‘Life’

    I don’t want to see a ghost
    It’s the sight that I fear most
    I’d rather have a piece of toast
    Watch the evening news

    I googled the song to make sure I had the lyrics right, and wasn’t suprised to learn that the lady in question won a poll for the worst lyricist of all time by BBC listeners!

    Bog off this beats all..

    I just got down from the Isle of Skye
    I’m not very big but I’m awful shy
    All the lassies shout as I walk by,
    “Donald, Where’s Your Trousers?”

    Physical Fascination by roxette:
    “I got to go, get aboard attack a love jet…
    And I got to find a power station with a beat”

    In fairness, I dont think that english (or writing decent songs) was their strong point.

    this sounds like a job for the toy dolls!
    from Yul Brynner Was A Skinhead:

    “There’s a fella from a film
    reminds me of Duncan Goodhew
    but he’s not a proper skinhead
    cause he hasn’t got a tattoo

    He’s not as wise as he seems
    coz he’s just an actor
    he’s a dunce, I’ve never seen him
    on the Krypton Factor”

    and
    “His only claim to fame was that
    he had a shiney nut
    But I would look just the same
    if I had my hair cut”

    (nonetheless, it’s a great song.)
    [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy8fHoydspI[/video]

    from James Bond Lives Down Our Street

    “James Bond lives down our street
    I’ve seen him he catches the 32 bus
    James Bond lives down our street
    sometimes he sits on the back seat with us
    he’s got a gun strapped to his chest
    you can’t shoot him in a bullet proof vest
    a clever lad but can be a pest sometimes”

    plus a random grab-bag of everything that warbling f*cking kazoo Duffy’s come out with.

    US bombs cruisin’ overhead

    Psycho maniac interblend, shoot it up
    Now shoot it up

    D@mn, I was going to go with Snap, Rhythm is a Dancer.
    Although ‘it’s like raaaeeeain, on your wedding day; a freeee riiiiiide, when you’ve already paid; good adviiiiice, you just can’t take’ is pretty bad. None of those are ironic, per se.

    There’s a quote I’ve heard on TV somewhere. Something along the lines of ‘nothing good’s come out of Scotland apart from Donald and his f&%^ing trousers…’

    Gawd…anybody unfortunate enough to remember this?

    I wish I was little bit taller,
    I wish I was a baller
    I wish I had a girl who looked good
    I would call her
    I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
    and a ’64 Impala

    She’s so loverly, she’s so loverly, she’s so loverly, she’s so loverrrrrly

    Repeat until nausea sets in. Or even worse,

    Give me an evening, or give me a night.
    I’ll show you the time, of your life.
    I’ll walk you home safe, from the dark.
    I’ll give you my jacket, I’ll give you my heart.

    Or anything else by Scouting For Girls. Someone should steal their rhyming dictionary, then they’d be really screwed… 😈

    “Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don’t confuse them with mountains.”

    Wasn’t that song originally done in Spanish and translated? Scrap that, it probably sounds ridiculous in any language.

    Let me hear you say yeah!
    No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there’s no limit!
    No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there’s no limit!

    blah blah.

    No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there’s no limit!
    No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there’s no limit!

    etc.

    when this came out it was everywhere and did my head in. I could probably remember some crap analogies, or metaphors or just plain crap rhymes, but this one does it for me!

    No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there’s no limit!
    No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there’s no limit!

    arghhh! shuttup already! I’d be surprised if French n saunders hadn’t done a crap “there’s no lyrics” parody. Hmm.. Another good thread would be “shit lazy comedy parodies”.

    Let’s go back to my room
    So we can do it all night
    And you can make me feel right

    I love Shriekback’s Nemesis, but the lyrics are just giggleworthy..

    In a jungle of the senses
    Tinkerbell and Jack the ripper
    Love has no meaning, not where they come from
    But we know pleasure is not that simple
    Very little fruit is forbidden
    Sometimes we wobble, sometimes we’re strong
    But you know evil is an exact science
    Being carefully correctly wrong

    And of course Annabella Lwin, courtesy of Malcolm McLaren, I assume…

    “I love you Eiffel Tower, you’ve got something I admire.
    I love you Eiffel Tower wrap my legs around your spire.”

    Can’t believe no one has mentioned it yet…

    She’s electric
    She’s in a family full of eccentrics
    She done things I never expected
    And I need more time
    She’s got a sister
    And god only knows how I’ve missed her
    On the palm of her hand is a blister

    Surely Noel was taking the piss when he suggested including this song on WTSMG

    aaaah you forget U2 Elevation and it’s homage to our sunterranean friends too easily

    A mole
    Digging in a hole
    Digging up my soul now
    Going down, excavation

    Higher now
    In the sky
    You make me feel like I can fly
    So high
    Elevation
