I also quote like this one from Metallica's Broken, Beat & Scarred;
"You rise, you fall, you're down, then you rise again;
What don't kill ya make ya more strong"
That second line is constantly repeated throughout the song, and while I do like the track, it's also an English teacher's worst nightmare. A more gramatically incorrect song lyric, I cannot think of.
Also, the new James Bond theme song, Another Way to Die by Jack White and Alica Keys seems to be attracting a lot of criticism. It goes like this:
"I know the player with the slick trigger finger for Her Majesty
Another one with the golden-tone vocie and then your fantasy
Another bill from a killer turned a thrill into a tragedy ...
[Chorus]
A door left open, a woman walking by;
A drop in the water, a look in the eye;
A phone on the table, a man at your side
Or someone that you think that you can trust
Is just another way to die.
Another tricky little gun giving solace to the one who will never see the sun shine
Another inch of life sacrificed for your brother in the nick of time
Another dirty-money, heaven-sent honey turning on a dime
[Chorus]
Another girl with her finger on the world singing to you what you want to hear
Another gun thrown down in surrender took away your fear
Another man that stands right behind you looking in the mirror
[Chorus]"
Personally, I like it; I think there's way more depth in all of that than there has been in previous Bond title song entries such as Madge's infamous effort for Die Another Day:
"Sigmund Freud
Analyse this ...
Analyse this ...
Analyse this ..."
And of course, Sheryl Crow in Tomrrow Never Dies:
"Until that day, until the world falls away;
Until yousay there will be no more good-byes
I see it in your eyes,
Tomorrow Never Dies."
Most of which is elemntary rhyming based on the obligatory need to get the title in there somewhere ...
