Help With Bad Lyrics

[Col Mustard]

Hi All

I won't bore you with why but I need to put together some examples of lyrics where the songwriter(s) have thrown out the normal rules of English in order to shoehorn a rhyme into a song.

For example

You and I would say "I'm in deep trouble" but Madonna has decided that she's in "trouble deep"

or

You and I would say "I'd like to take her home" but Kraftwerk felt obliged to tell you that "It's Understood"

The funnier the better.

Thanks
CM

How about the last line of this verse from Kaiser Chiefs' "Oh My God":

Time on your side that will never end
The most beautiful thing you can ever spend
But you work in a shirt with your name tag on it
Drifting apart like a plate tectonic
