craig Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 The comedy lyrics & vocals are awful. Edit: Fair play, in the context of the album this has grown on me. But I would still like a version without the lyrics. The monster riffage should be unspoilt!!
Peter. Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 The comedy lyrics & vocals are awful. the lyrics are horrific, but I like the way Matt is singing the song. still, since new lyrics doesn't seem to be a realistic option, I request an instrumental.
cydonia196 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 after a long time of trying to get back on this im back and has anyone noticed the similarity with scissor sisters laura at the start? pretty embarrassing if you ask me
Red_sqwiwul Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 We can always rest assured that if we want to read fantastically positive stuff about Muse the Official Muse forum is the place to come... not... Matt's vocal's are awesome. The lyrics are simple, direct and motivating. He sings with real passion. It's already on my running list. Simples. CHEERS MUSE, you've totally smashed this one

CatchHellBlues Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 If there was an instrumental version id use it to replace the normal version.
Spectrum IV Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 The vocals are some of Matt's best, and I don't really understand why people are surprised by the lyrics, as if Muse songs have ever been elaborate in their lyrical content... Anyway, an instrumental would be cool, but not as good as the original IMO.
Buxomflirter Queef Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 after a long time of trying to get back on this im back and has anyone noticed the similarity with scissor sisters laura at the start? pretty embarrassing if you ask me Scissor Sisters have produced songs a lot better than some of Muse's shit.

Anyway, an instrumental would be cool, but not as good as the original IMO. It's not that Muse lyrics are usually good, it's just that they're usually not this bad.
Popey Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Yes. But not because I hate the lyrics, if anything they make the song as awesome as it is. I just want it for the widdle.
LyraSilvertongue Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 These probably are the worst lyrics Matt's ever written. Worse even than Sober.
forevermusic Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 after a long time of trying to get back on this im back and has anyone noticed the similarity with scissor sisters laura at the start? pretty embarrassing if you ask me I like that song. It seems like it's trying to mimick the piano line to that song using the choir, oddly.
Tofu Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Yes, if it means there's no choir in it. Yes I won't shut up about that. But also yes because I tend to like instrumentals anyway.
Craig no1 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Yes please I'm not a fan of the vocals but not cause I think they're bad just there not my sort of thing.
HannahG123 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I think the vocals are amazing. So emotional in a different way to the normal angst. So much positivity is what we neeeeeed! And the lyrics are allowed to be lame, it's going to be played in tons of country's on the TV
hyper_chondriac_muser Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 These probably are the worst lyrics Matt's ever written. Worse even than Sober. Nothing can claim the 'shittiest lyrics ever' award from NSC . C'mon 'Our love will be forever, and we'll die, we'll die together...'. 'snowflakes in an ocean' Cheryl Cole has better lyrics than that (And that's saying something considering she's the most talentless sack of pooh ever ). The instrumental bit is the best of the whole song, imo (that BEEEEFFFFINESS is divine!), but Matt's vocals are fucking brilliant throughout. We get a chesty voice and two lots of crazy falsettos, along with hilarious chanting about racing and winning and fuse and lose . It's pure comedy, lyrically speaking, but adds to the hyperbole of the song. I'd love an entirely instrumental version anyways, cos that would be teh awesomes!

NSC's lyrics a crap but they're not crapper than: Royal Canadian blended The spicy aroma had mended me Matured for years and imported Into my glass you poured it And you're the only reason That I remain unfrozen Suppose it stands to reason That you would turn on me You're so solid You're so solid It burns inside of me Cause you're so solid It burns inside of me And Wild Turkey's been chosen It's caramel nose can smell me Arbourler/Jameson, I love you The single malts came burning

MopManMuse Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 no way is sober the worst muse song lyrically, i love sober anway

It seems like he's taking the piss, to me, and using a song about alcohol to express that. Plus, it in no way puts me off the song. I barely notice the lyrics, tbh. Meanwhile, in NSC that's all I notice, haha. You could argue that it's also a pisstake, but the criminal level of cheese in the latter makes it worse, imo. It's almost on the same vomit-inducing level as Britney Spears's 'love from above'-type lyrics. He's rambling about forever/together, halos and snowflakes for fuck's sake . The title alone is enough to make me want to put a bag over my head... Neutron Star Collision?! Lolwut Matthew! Most of all, though, the sappy, lovey-dovey crap is why I hate NSC's lyrics and why the song is very cringeworthy despite it being annoyingly catchy in places I was searching You were on a mission Then our hearts combined like A neutron star collision I have nothing left to lose You took your time to choose Then we told each other With no trace of fear that... Our love would be forever And if we die, we die together Lie, I said never Because our love would be forever The world is broken And halos fail to glisten You try to make a difference but No one wants to listen Hail the preachers fake and proud Their doctrines will becloud Then they'll dissipate Like snowflakes in an ocean ETC HOWEVER! Despite all that, it's still brilliant to sing and over-gesticulate along to at gigs... hilarious arm-waving fun!

I remember a great NSC parody where it went something like this: "My looooove is for cheddar! And if we dine, we dine together And brie, I will neeeevvveeeerrrr 'Cos my love, it is for cheddaaaarrrr!" If only I could remember how it went... The verse with preachers, halos and snowflakes I actually found quite good in NSC. The chorus and other verse though... it's more sickly sweet than trying eat everything in a sweet shop in one go. Shame - good rhythm, good riff, good pianos. Goddamn Twilight.

Yeah, in songs such as Sober, I don't notice the silly lyrics, but like you said, in songs like NSC and Survival it's much more noticeable. I think it's because he's singing in such a slow, serious, ridiculously earnest way...it's just cringey.
