While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
This is a perfect lyric...idiotic as it may be.
Yes, only time WILL tell if you will stand the test of TIME.
Duh.
Not anything against Shakira, but really "Underneath Your Clothes" has to be one of the most mawkish and embarrassing lyrics I can think of. "Underneath your clothes/ There's an endless story..." (Oh, yeah -- and what "endless story" is that? Stephen King's The Stand? Uh... Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead?? Goldilocks and the Three Bears??) and then it only gets worse when she sings "There's the man I chose/There's my territory" (And now what -- you want a medal? Your "territory"...? You gonna drill for oil? Plant alfalfa?) and "all the things I deserve for being such a good girl"... ugh. TMI. If you're "such a good girl" then why am I being subjected to your self-congratulatory lyrics? If i heard that one at a wedding I'd pray to be invited to the divorce proceedings as well.

tonight." I rest my case.
I cant remember who sang it but the stupidest lyric I know of is: "this magic moment when your lips are close to mine, will last forever, forever to the end of time."
So forever only lasts until the end of time? I guess it really isn't forever. In any case why would anyone want to have their lips eternally close to someone else's lips? Sort of like going through life and eternity as conjoined twins.
Come on - the worst line ever is even the worst title of a song ever: "25 or 6 to 4". Love Chicago, but what the sense does that make?
