Sometimes flowery and sweet just doesn't cut the personal pan pizza. A lyricist with genuine talent knows when to bring the filth. Here are five of my gritty favorites.
"Dodging armpit stench / aromatic..."
From Frame by Frame by The Honorary Title
I think Jordan decided not to like this band specifically because of this lyric.
"The matress creaks beneath / the symphony of misery and come / still we lie jerking back and forth / and blurring into one"
Second Best by Pedro the Lion
It was really difficult to pick just one Pedro lyric, but this won out after plenty of deliberation.
"If I swallow anything evil / put your finger down my throat."
Behind Blue Eyes by The Who
Oh the undertones.
"I spend most days putting off / that which can't wait until I'm knee deep / in my own waste."
Bed Abuse by Owen
Knee deep. Like, it's up to his knees, and he's...moving in it.
"It was rare to do much more than / simply mess around in the car / it was mostly mutual / masturbation."
In the Car by Barenaked Ladies.
Steven Page looks like this:
