is that it often makes listening to music so incredibly painful. I am certainly not perfect with my grammar and language manipulation at all times, but gah.....
Like this lyric:
My head's spinning around I can't see clear no more.
What bothers me the most is that clear isn't clearly. The double-negative doesn't help. Needs some punctuation.
And then there is this doozy:
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were before we realized we were sad of getting old.
What the freck?
World's longest run-on sentence. I don't care if she makes a gazillion dollars a day, this lyric has "poorly written" all over it.
But the Grand Poobah of Terrible Lyrics has to go to this Paula Cole song:
So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
Then see the peace in every I
That song was released in 1996, and it STILL plagues me.
