Worst line from a McCartney song
-
Yeah I know what you mean. It's just, I tend to focus on the positives, it's in my nature I guess )
-
"Like gravy, down to the last drop, I keep mopping her up Oh yeah, she's my baby." Still a cracking Wings tune...
-
Something like 'she's an American from her head down to her toes'...I've blocked it out so badly I'm not entirely sure what I typed is the exact line
ops:
-
I cant think of one....lol
-
I met a friend of mine and he did say Boy I can smell your breath a mile away Or any line from 3 Legs (although I like the song)
-
Fucking it up for everyone / big boys bickering...

Yet another 'worst' thread. Way too much negativity on a fan board for my liking.

12345, let's go for a drive, 6789,10, let's go there and back again.

Although I too would rather focus on the positive... when I first heard this one, I cringed, I admit.

"Like gravy, down to the last drop, I keep mopping her up Oh yeah, she's my baby." That's a great line.

To me, it resonates a certain funk...

"Something took a hold of me and I acted like a dustbin lid." Ears twitch, like a dog, Breaking eggs in a dish. Do not mock me when I say This is not a lie. Also the ENTIRE song, Average Person. Awful, awful stuff.

This was going to be my nominee for worst line. It made me cringe when I first heard it, and it has not improved with time.

There are only a very few of Paul's songs I don't like. "Average Person" is one. Often, although I'm a word lover, I'm distracted by his truly wonderful melodies to the point I barely notice the lyrics, so I've not even noticed most of these so-called "awful" lines. I noticed the dustbin lid line before, but I love the sexy song it's in "The Other Me" so that line doesn't bother me at all. I understand from what I've read that "dustbin lid" is an English or British slang term, I forgot what it stands for. I too don't approve of a lot of the "negative" threads which have been posted before about Paul, many of them made me wince, cringe and curse, but this one isn't as bad 'cause I noticed someone recently posted a "What Are Paul's Best Lines" thread. So this thread subject seemed like an okay idea to the boardie who had read that thread, and started this one. It was "the other side of the coin," to use a cliche. Remember, Paul's greatest musical strength is melody, although he's composed many truly wonderful and poetic and meaningful, even brilliant, lyrics as well, in his time
Bless him!! WE LOVE YOU MACCA

Paul is guilty of writing some of the greatest lyrics of all time, that's why when something like "12345 lets go for a drive" comes out it makes your ears perk up and go "What?". Also, sometimes it's not what's being sung, but how it's being sung. I mean, how many woah's are in My Love? A LOT! But, you don't think about it because it's a fantastic song. I like this thread because nobody is perfect and even Paul admits to his faults, that's what makes him wonderful! All that being said, I think "Feet In The Clouds" has some of the greatest and worst lyrics all in one. I love the line "My hidden treasure, made to measure, for my pleasure, had it my way" Scandalous!! However, the amount of times the word "very" is used makes me giggle. We get it Paul, you find it VERY hard! lol!

"My teeth smell" or "your teeth smell" a weird phrase in one of his "Ram" songs
