Eric Cantona Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I love the album, but Axl wrote some terrible lyrics on certain songs My top three: ''Riad and the bedouins, had a plan and thought they'd win, but I don't give a fuck 'bout them 'cause I am crazy'' ''But I don't want to eet'' (mainly because of the accent and Axl sounds like a whiny kid) ''Now I know you better, you know I know better, now we all know better'' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenYou'reTalkinToYourself Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Imo Riad has inexplicably bad/weird lyrics. Seriously, who in the fucking world can relate to that song? I can't stand it. I would say that some songs on CD have a major syntax weirdness. I can't even fully understand the meaning of some verses. But that may be just me.

ZoSoRose Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Riad is terrible lyrically. Id like the song way more with a more coherent title and lyrics. Scraped and TiL have some cringy lyrics too imo On the flip side, I think the album has some really great lyrics (Better, TWAT, Maddy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I am inconquerable But I don't want to do eet and pretty much all of Riad, except I always liked the line I don't give a fuck 'bout them 'cause I am crazy. Axl speaking the truth there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Sorry and Prostitute are quite awful...This I Love too. Chinese Democracy is kinda forgivable because the music retrieves them, they fit it alright. Lyrically Chinese Democracy sounds like an album by a man who don't get out much.

DieselDaisy Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) You know what I am going to say in advance, ''Sitting in a Chinese Stew''. It does not get better with the succeeding, ''To view my dis-in-fat-u-ation''. The hyphens are important.

DR DOOM Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The lyrics from This I Love are like horrid teenage poetry that should never be shared with anybody, ever. Dude went from say Locomotive, to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Has anyone actually sat in a Chinese stew? I'm not sure I've ever come across a Chinese stew, that particular form of cooking not being indigenous to the People's Republic, least of all ever possessed the desire to sit in one! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The 'Chinese stew' line is pretty weird, CD (the song) has some weird lyrics throughout but I've always thought the line "It would take a lot more time than you have got for masturbation, even with an iron fist" was both funny and awesome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 TWAT is an excellent song but the bridge... "If I could go back in time to the place in my soul They're all a glow (???) Lonely tear drops Are calling you..." These lyrics make no sense and are kinda laughable. Especially the lonely tear drops part... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunset Gardner Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The funniest line on CD is the line where axl calls it "guns n roses". Im still laughing about that part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 'There all alone' I agree about the lonely tears calling you though. Another one is Scraped: Don't you try to stop us now. I just refuse. Don't you try to stop us now. Cause I just won't let you. It fits better in a boyband song. I always found it funny that a grown up man would sing a thing like that. Feels more like a teenage thing to me. And then the whole Gonna call the president etc of course. Love IRS and I like the rest of the lyrics, but that chorus is so odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
