In the song 'do they know its christmas', there is a line which goes 'and there won't be snow in Africa this christmas time'.

Where is Mount Kilimanjaro? What is at the summit?

Africa. Snow.

Whoever wrote that line does not know their geography.

Maybe I need to get out more.

This is the part of the song I still scratch my head at:
There's a world outside your window

Sting and Simon Le Bon
And it's a world of dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing is a bitter sting of tears
And the christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

Bono
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
.



Well, that is brill. Raise money, but Still wish the cause you are raising for pain, tears, fear and death will every one else is ok.

For me, the worst lyric is in 'Moonlight Shadow' by Mike Oldfield.

Which reads thus:   'Four a.m. in the morning/ Carried away by a moonlight shadow'

Really?

Four a.m?

IN THE MORNINGHuh? Shocked

iT'S NEVER GONNA BE FOUR F**KING A.M. IN THE F**KING AFTER F**CKING NOON NOW, IS IT!!! Roll Eyes

Do you know what "Nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c*nt... me.

I'm sorry but you've got to go a LOOOONNNGGG way to beat whining, wingeing Alannis I'm bloody annoying Morris-Minor with Ironic. The only ironic thing about the song IS the song being called Ironic when none of it is its just bad luck.

I so hate that song.  Angry
