"I’ve got no self control/ Been living like a mole" from U2′s Elevation, and "Slowly walking down the hall/ Faster than a cannonball" from Oasis’ Champagne Supernova have been nominated as the groups’ most derided lyrics.
Other contenders in the BBC 6 Music’s worst lyrics poll are ABC’s That Was Then But This Is Now, Snap’s Rhythm Is a Dancer, Razorlight’s Somewhere Else, Des’Ree’s Life, Human League’s The Lebanon, Duran Duran’s Is There Something I Should Know, Black Sabbath’s War Pigs and Toto’s Africa.
