anagram Don't shift the blame onto the girl in the bar by calling her a floozie..she may never have known about the girl in Tulsa! Make the man take full responsibility for his infidelity! grin

Just thought of another one - 24 hours from Tulsa.

Bloke's been away from home, on his way back meets some floozie in a bar and that's it! He loves somebody new and he can never (never) go home again! And he expects us to sympathise....hmm

I was just about to post that one, Greatnan!

Golden Brown - the delights of heroin

Happy Birthday Sweet 16! (Tonight's the night, I've waited for...yuk!)

Things are a bit better than they used to be - nobody today would dare to sing 'Stay young and beautiful, if you want to be loved'.

There is a whole raft of love songs that annoy me, which imply that the girl is a chattel and if the bloke she has gone off with gets tired of her, he can return to sender! (Take good care of my baby....)

What about 'Stand by your man' - forgive him for anything he does because he is just a man, so selfish and immature!

It Might As Well Rain Until September ( I'm miserable so I hope everyone
has a lousy summer)

Living Doll (Run, dear. He's a weirdo)

These are songs I love, but the lyrics are objectionable:

Every Breath You Take (stalking)
In The Summertime (drink-driving
Under My Thumb (controlling boyfriend)
Killer Queen (prostitution)

I enjoy some songs but really object to their lyrics, such as:

Delilah (You laughed at me so I killed you)
For the Good Times (Let's have one last **)
Softly as I leave you (I am too cowardly to tell you face to face)
Gentle on my mind (I use you whenever it is convenient)
The Impossible Dream ( I am a hero)
My way (Aren't I wonderful)

I am sure you can all think of some that annoy you!
