The 20 Worst Lyrics Ever: No. 7

"I don't think that I've
got the stomach
To stomach calling
you today"
And we're betting that this clever emo fella doesn't have the eyes to eye you, the hands to handle you ... or even the mouth to mouth your name. Oh, the humanity!

oh emo, and your lovely lyrics. I'm surprised there aren't more emo bands on here...
Jessicaat 3-28-2007
Ok... I think I agree with everyone that this list sucks. "I don't think that I've got the stomach To stomach calling you today" makes perfect sense and in a non boring way. It makes him sick to call this person plain and simple

Redundancy much?
Drewat 3-28-2007
This song is actually very good, but I would never throw it with Culture Club and America unless you're making a list of ridiculously horrible hair styles in bands... long hair, pink hair, no hair at all.
Terryat 3-28-2007
No. This is stupid. That's just a good lyric. it makes perfect sense and it's him being clever in his word-playing. i don't even know how this emerged here.

this list is a disgrace, chris conley is one of the best songwriters of the punk/emo genre....the line makes perfect sense, maybe you are just too unintelligent to understand it.

because you're WEAK I tell you, WEAK!

read the lyrics to the song "this is not an exit" and tell me they are bad.
Sueat 3-28-2007
Uhm. I love this lyric. It makes sense.
"And I'll wear glass shoes and plastic wrap.
No, I'll just wear my insides.
You want to know who I really am?
Yeah so do I, yeah so do I."
I love this song.

you know, the lead singer really has a gastrointestinal disease...jerks

Am I the only one here who sees the grammatical error in this lyric?
"I don't think that I've
got the stomach
To stomach calling
you today"
Please the lyric is terrible. There's a thing called a thesaurus! Any writer knows when you write a poem or a lyric you don't use the same words twice.
FUCK SPINNERat 3-28-2007
Are you fucking kidding me?? "I don't have the stomach" to do something is a common term. Saves the Day is a great band, the lyric does make perfect sense.
alien7542at 1-01-2009
URGE...WILL...COURAGE...MAN IN ME.... all of those could be easily substituted for the first "stomach". Plainly, Saves The day sucks asscrack juices.

To whoever making this list, dude take up English again. You need to relearn the Figure of Speech, i.e., if you ever learned it at all.

YOUR RETARDED.. CHRIS CONELY HAS NEVER WROTE LYRICS TO IMPRESS ANYONE ANYWAY. HES JUST WROTE GOOD MUSIC AND ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE LIKED IT, THAT HES KEPT WRITING BECAUSE THE PEOPLE HAVE DEMANDED HE PUT OUT RECORDS.. CHRIS HAS NEVER TRIED TO IMPRESS ANYONE.. ITS A LITTLE PUN ON WORDS.. GIVE IT A BREAK.. THIS LIST IS MORE FOR PATHETIC TOP 40 BANDS THAT DONT WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS.. CHRIST O MIGHTY..

and if you type in caps more people will pay attention to your post and see how angry you are? calm down. now i fucking hate this band and dont see how any guy could listen to them or the genre, but its on here becuase its just plain redundant.
Aaronat 3-28-2007
He's using stomach as a verb, therefore he is not using the word the same way each time and DOES NOT need a thesaurus. And who says there are rules about writing lyrics/poems? Isn't that the beauty of poetry/lyrics? Writing it however the hell you want to write it?
There are many lyrics out there that are worse than this...don't know why it made it on.
seflerat 3-28-2007
first off, saves the day is incredible, they write incredible songs, don't believe me? just listen to Three Miles Down or Freakish...and for the song see you having bad lyrics, just wow, like people above have said, figure of speech
inBloomat 3-28-2007
Jen, what do u listen to? P!atd? haha...
Michaelat 3-28-2007
Seriously? Maybe they're 1-6 cause I haven't gotten there yet...but you put THIS lyric on here over bands like Cute Is What We Aim For?
I'll admit this isn't chris's best line but it's incredible compared to the other lyrics you put on here. this one is so out of place.
