Insincere Song Lyrics
Alkaline Trio's, "All On Black"
The Insincere Lyrics:
RE: "Whats upside down was coated in silver? This crucifix is my four leaf clover"
Why They're Insincere:
This lyrics is absolutely not INsincere - he means every word. It is very Satanic - Matt Skiba and Derek Grant are both well-known members of the Church of Satan, and Dan Andriano is "comfortably" associated with the religion as well. If you pay close enough attention, many Alkaline Trio lyrics are Satanic....Satanism isn't "freakish" at all - try reading up on it yourself before passing judgment.

Misrhymed Song Lyrics
Dolly Parton's, "I'll Make Your Bed"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
I'm not the kind of girl that married dear dad
I don't make apple pies and cookies from scratch
Later in the song...
I promised forever on the day that we met
That I'll love you truly and I'll make your bed.
I don't make apple pies and cookies from scratch
Later in the song...
I promised forever on the day that we met
That I'll love you truly and I'll make your bed.
Why They're Misrhymed:
I don't know why Dolly thinks that 'Dad' rhymes with 'scratch," because they just simply DON'T. 'Met' and 'bed' is perhaps understandable, but still pushing it.

Scary Lyrics
The Doors', "The End"
The Lyrics:
The killer awoke before dawn.
He put his boots on.
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall.
He went into the room where his sister lived and then he
Paid a visit to his brother and then he
He walked on down the hall and
And he came to a door
And he looked inside.
"Father?" "Yes, son?" "I want to kill you."
"Mother? I want to... f*ck you"
He put his boots on.
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall.
He went into the room where his sister lived and then he
Paid a visit to his brother and then he
He walked on down the hall and
And he came to a door
And he looked inside.
"Father?" "Yes, son?" "I want to kill you."
"Mother? I want to... f*ck you"
Why:
Even before I noticed the Oedipal connotations in the song (whenever I look up the lyrics to this song, they say he says "f*ck you", but all I hear is him screaming incoherently), this part of the song always creeped me out.

Lyrics Pronunciation
Roger Miller's, "England Swings"

England swings like a pendulum do

Foreign Language in English Songs
Roxette's, "Sleeping Single"
The Lyrics:
I'll pay the price, for all the love you poured like rain. Toujours l'amour over again.
Why:
Because of toujours l'amour. These are the only two foreign words in the whole song. I know it's French, but I'm not sure what it means in English. I know l'amour would be love or the love, but I don't know what the word toujours means. Just that the S on the end is silent.
