What's the biggest gap of quality you've seen between a song and its lyrics? Meaning cringe lyrics for a great song, or the opposite.
All the tracks in The Money Store
pretty sure the lyrics for beethovenbro's ode to joy are cringe tier pap

They say people never change, but that's bullshit they doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
most Firewater songs
Agalloch
The cringe is mostly in the delivery but they're still pretty bad.
Most metal bands have terrible lyrics, but there are definitely gems.
Fucking Interpol. Every goddamn song.
Conversely, Warren Zevon was a great songwriter, but most of them just didn't have much of a sound.
Lots of exceptions in both cases, though.

Any song by The Fall of Troy. Awful lyrics, but incredible guitar work.
I was going to say that Bob Dylan writes shitty lyrics, but then I realized he writes shitty music too.
Some Girls are Bigger Than Others
Morrisey fucking up Marr's greatest riff

Pretty obvious one
the smiths - some girls are bigger than others

Those lyrics are amazing.
Literally the definition of 2deep4u.
Either that or you're just triggered hamplanets.

Except for Anesthetize
Pretty much all of PT's albums are like that; the lyrical quality is vastly inferior to the musical quality, but there is one song that breaks that trend.

I thought Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun era PT was decent lyrics wise
coldplay is pretty big offender of this
Amazing album but the lyrics are some mallgoth level shit
Periphery - Periphery II
Mr. Bungles first album
The band often gets in the way of Pattons poetry

Obvious b8

Mozart's everything. Most of his stuff with lyrics isn't performed just because of the lyrics. Some of it is performed, but usually just instrumentally. In case you don't know, most of his lyrics were about his weird fetishes, particularly eating feces.

I think that song is about tits and not fat chicks though.
>>60946048
Nah, Morrissey has a thing for fat chicks (when he isn't banging dudes).
Defying all logic and sanity, it's not even his only song about fatties.
Pet Sounds

dozens of Kanye songs. Nearly every song he manages to have excellent production, but rarely ever writes anything of lyrical worth. Talking about Graduation specifically
>>60946026
It's not bait. Bob Dylan is trash.
>>60945709
are you fucking kidding me? you don't enjoy the lyrics for turn on the bright lights? i was gonna quote something but the delivery on all of them is so spot on...
