Worst.
Lyrics.
Ever.
But, if it does it for ya when yer miserable, then great
But may I just ask... why?
why are those lyrics bad? theyre not "deep", but i think its something everyone with a pulse can relate to.

Theres other ways of doing it without making it so 'in your face' obvious. It hasnt been much thought simply because it is what everyone thinks. Hes a lazy artist and sounds like a male version of shakira.

i was talking about the lyrics to that song only. being that i dont listen to the radio much, and frankly dont care one way or another about him otherwise, i was simply saying i thought those lyrics werent "the worst" as the person above stated, because theyre relevant to anyone at almost any given time.
listen to john lennon's imagine....extremely simple lyrics...but something everyone can/should think about.

No, no, it's not the subject or the depth that bothers me. Having been sad enough to take the time to listen to the lyrics all the way through, I realised that the song isn't coherent. It doesn't make sense, from beginning to end. For instance, at an early point in the song, Mr Blunt appears to be lamenting the fact that he can't get this 'beautiful' girl of his dreams. He then, however, states rather chirpily: 'But I've got a plan!'
However, not only are we never informed of this 'olan', but he closes the song by saying 'and I dont know what to do.' How the fuck does that go hand in hand with having a plan? I may seem like I'm nitpicking, but it just struck me as dumb, and more importantly, really fucking lazy.
I don't write very poetic or inspired lyrics, but at least I try to implement a little fucking consistency.
But I imagine you have better things to do than nitpick over that song, so I imagine you never noticed these flaws

well, perhaps his plan is to make a move next time that happens...realizing he's missed his chance with the girl hes lamenting over during the song. i dont know, i dont even know ALL of the words off the top of my head, nor do i really care. but id say as a whole, the song makes enough sense to not be "the worst lyrics ever" or whatever it was you said.

Yeah. They're not exactly the worst ever lyrics...just so cliched and devoid of creativity that it is difficult to find any positives in them. You could write a song about petting dogs that i could relate to, if that's your sole criteria nfu - but that won't make it worth hearing.
Still, this is a metal forum, so wtf are we doing talking about lyrics? JAMES BLUNT lyrics?

I wasnt saying it was even worth hearing really, but thats not my ONLY criteria...the song isnt THAT bad, its just NOT very good. I was just contesting that theyre lyrics everyone can relate to, so it keeps them from being the worst lyrics ever imo, which is what he stated.
And the day this forum stays 100% metal, is the day this forum dies.
