A-fucking-men.

I still find it hard to reconcile the fact that the band who did "Popular" is the same one behind the best critique of rape culture I've heard so far, "Mother's Day."

I don't know, Blur's Think Tank didn't suck and Graham mother-fucking Coxon left halfway through.

Isn't there also a pager reference in 200-fucking-3? Yeah, that was lazy.

Blur, anyone?
Everything through '13' was lyrically genius straight through, but by 'Think Tank,' it seemed like some songs were just Albarn throwing words down for the hell of it.

About half of In Defence of the Genre is listenable but lyrically shit as well. Fucking 'Spay Me'? Granted, the bar was set high with '… Is a Real Boy,' but still. No excuse.

Agreed. The Decemberists were a band I tried to like based on the lyrics, but the songs themselves makes me want to gouge my wrists with a rusty nail, just to end the goddamn tedium.

'Regret,' seriously?
I'm at a loss. Granted, I always interpreted the chorus, written out in sentences, as 'I would like a place I could call my own, [to] have a conversation on the telephone; [to] wake up every day, that would be a start. I would not complain of my broken heart.' It doesn't "kind of, sort of" work in…
