Always thought it was "In this ever-changing world in which we're living", which would be OK.

But, on the subject of weird/sh1te lyrics, how about:

"Girls run around with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn't for chip fat, they'd be frozen
They're not very sensible... La la la
La la la la la la"

Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict a Riot


or:

"Never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to darnce
Looking for a little romance"

Chris de-fooking-Burgh - Lady in Red


or, possibly the worst puke-making lyric of all time:

"If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?"

Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not the One.

Pass the bucket...

Great song, but the chronology in this Levellers lyric has always puzzled me:

But, your daddy well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother he was killed in the Last War

Eh? So daddy was still young enough to do Op Corporate in 1982 after having a son who died in WW2? Or was daddy in the original naval battle of the Falklands, in which case he must have still been getting jiggy in his eighties to have a son killed in NI in 1991.

Thanks to the good offices of the Labor ("There are no "u"s, only us") Party this no longer sounds as ridiculous as it did when it first came out, since the "Last War" could be any one of the dozens they've got us mixed up in since then.

Hang on, The Levellers are left leaning pinkos, so they probably donate money to Neu Arbeit (Arbeit Macht Frei - and don't you forget it). Obviously they couldn't accept a peerage, perhaps the agreement was that Tony had to invade somewhere to make to song work? So The Levellers were directly responsible for the invasion of Iraq! That'll go down well in the student union...

^ Leaping to the defence of The Levellers here, I think they are hard-core crusty supporting types who wouldn't give a dog-on-a-string to Bliar et.al.

U2 - Elevation:

..like a mole, digging in a hole...

Just abysmal.

Desree - 'Life':

I would hate to see a ghost
Its the sight that i fear worst
rather sit and eat some toast
watching the evening news

Really? Turd.

I have to confess I really really like S Club 7's classic offering, 'Reach':

Reach for the stars, follow your heart's desire

Simply triffic.

I appreciate that all my credibility has just disappeared.

How could I forget Ant and Dec's offering!!
Let's get ready to rumble:
"Partners in crime we'll never do time,
A sentence for us has to end in a rhyme."


DD, stop copying me I already beat you to the U2 lyric!! :P

Vegetius, can't you see? They're getting their kicks, they're laughing at you and me.

Sorry to be a pedant, but it does add to the general crappiness quotient, but the boys actually spelt it "Rhumble."

Yeuch.

Sorry Flowers - we're playing by committee here so I missed your offerage.

Good call on Ant and Dec by the way. 'Partners in crime?' The only crime they're guilty off is being dreadful, hardly a jailtime offence, given today's standards.

Although it probably should be.
