The Scottish newspaper The Daily Record has made it's own chart of music's worst lyrics, to coincide with VH1's Best Lyrics poll.
Lyrics from Morrissey's song King Leer were included:
Your boyfriend he,
Went down on one knee.
Well could it be,
He's only got one knee?

"King Leer" is a brilliant lyric (Score:1)
'Kill Uncle' is arguably Morrissey's best album lyrically- he's never been as witty, charming, fey and fun as he is on that record.
his worst song, lyric and tune, is "Noise Is The Best Revenge".

Kill Uncle is a work of art, one of the most important albums in pop music.

Actually it's not one of my favourite Moz tracks, but the simple pun made it the perfect user name.
I don't know why a certain segment cannot accept Morrissey's sometimes very blunt word play or sillyisms. He grew up watching Carry On and Benny Hill!
All or nothing, baby.

king leer is an incredible song, and kill uncle is an amazing album.

Queen have written far stupider lyrics than the one chosen. The whole of 'Bohemian Crapsody' for a start.
The line from 'Ebony & Ivory' isn't techically all that bad...the whole song though, now that's another matter. Repugnant mawkish twaddle.
And who, under 30 and not British, has heard of their #1 choice? B.A. Robertson? A VERY minor artist to say the least.
I don't understand Morrissey's inclusion at all. The line is intentionally cloying, especially when put in context with the references to Tizer and a homeless chihuahua. The song is not meant to be taken literally. It's not a follow up to 'Suffer Little Children' for goodness sake.
Get a sense of humour you useless hack bastards!!!

I think it shows that Kill Uncle isn't a bad record. It's, to most fans, sub-par for Morrissey. When you start comparing it to the rubbish on that list it shows what gem it really is.

It has never deserved to be his most maligned album.
