Ok I know we've already been over christians inferno.

But i dont like it either, it would be my least favourite on the album.

especially lines like:

Seasons in a ruin and this bitter pill is chased with blood

There's fire in my veins and it's pouring out like a flood

and

Toxin your reservoir

And then return man to ape

I always assumed that "I could really care less" was right, and in the meaning of that he does care to a certain extent (?).

But I don't really know if that makes sense at all, because after that you get the "I don't care" part :lol:

But well, I've never really figured out what he'd care/not care about anyway...... argh I hate having English not as native language, I never get all the cool stuff in Billie's lyrics xD

I know, right? Even if I do translate words or expressions I don't know, it's just impossible to get everything in 100%. I feel I'm missing something, as I will never understand Billie's lyrics like native English speakers. And I'm not talking about the general meaning, it's just those double meanings, puns, etc. I like finding out new things in songs I know so well, though :)

Interesting topic...

I would say 'I got a really bad disease' sounds a bit strange. I wouldn't say i don't like it though.

Nothing else springs to mind right now.

I don't have a least favourite GD lyric. I just see 1,000 Hours as being a really sweet song that Billie wrote when he was what, 15 or 16? But yeah, I'd have to say the "We're lost like Refugees" bit in Before the Lobotomy is one of the most annoying moments in a Green Day song.

I love the part with the refugees :o

Uhm yeah, 1000 hours is cheesy... but so is last nigh on earth, I actually think it's even more cheesy than 1000 hours.

The copy editor in me frowns upon "And I could really care less" in "City of the Damned", because it's supposed to be "couldn't care less"; the lyric implies that he cares somewhat, because there is the possibility of him caring less.
Well, we just had in english class that you can say "i couldn't care less" and "i could care less" and it means exaclty the same, just depends where you live, it's like an accent.

So if I ask you what "tragic al'a madness and concrete" means you can't answer?

I like this line but I'm pretty usure on the meaning :huh:

I don't like "lost like refugees" much either, but it's still pretty epic when you see/hear it live.

I never really thought about lines from a Green Day song I DON'T like. I don't think I have any, I pay more attention to the ones I DO like :)

I don't like the part where Billie is all like "I'm my own worst enemy" in Restless Heart Syndrome, dunno why, I just don't like that line, especially if he sings them like 3236583 times in a row. Besides that I can't really think of anything, I like to think about the lyrics I like, not about the ones I dislike.

:o I love that bit. Cause it's like linking the 2 songs and that. From Know Your Enemy, then to saying that you ARE your enemy. Idk.

I don't really like the shouty bit in Holiday, that's all that comes to mind just now.

Why does everyone dislike the lyrics to Christian's Inferno? I always thought they were brilliant.

I can't really think of any off the top of my head at the moment.

Agreed. I hate to say it but I think 1000 hours owns Last Night On Earth.

I just like it better.

Most of the lyrics from the Sweet Children EP (besides My Generation of course). It's not that I don't like them but they're just a little strange...

"1000 hours" as a whole - ridiculously sappy, never fails to make me cringe.

I have nothing against disgusting lyrics, they serve a purpose.

And what is so bad about "I got a really bad disease"? I don't get it...

Yeah I don't like the 1000 hours lyrics either.

All the lyrics from LOTAG.

:lol:

I had to look up CDs to figure out that acronym. Fail. Good job I started with 21CB :D

I really dislike "like a dog that's been sodomised." There's no need for that.

And also the "lost like refugees" line because I don't think you can compare anything to the experience of a refugee.

"I've got a really bad disease"

"I drank the water from a hurricane" - wtf? XD

Probably all of 1000 Hours... It's so corny XD

"I text a postcard sent to you, did it go through?" - What? Besides, I don't like most of the lyrics to Last night on earth..

Can't come up with anything else right now...

Btw, what's up with all the Christians Inferno-bashing? That song and it's lyrics is awesome!
