Second place went to Snap's Rhythm is a Dancer which goes "I'm as serious as cancer/ When I say rhythm is a dancer".

In third place was "And I met a girl/ She asked me my name/ I told her what it was" from Razorlight's 2005 hit Somewhere Else.

Other songs to make the top 10 are U2's Elevation (Been living like a mole now/ Going down, excavation), Champagne Supernova by Oasis (Slowly walking down the hall/ Faster than a cannonball) and Black Sabbath's War Pigs (Generals gathered in their masses/ Just like witches at black masses).

Pretty sure
Given the 'chained to the mirror and the razorblade' parts of Champagne Supernova, Mr Gallagher is describing the feeling of walking along high as a kite. Given the amount of bolivian marching powder they admitted to getting through, he's probably not far off.

Anyway, there are much worse lyrics out there. for example Destiny's Child "The shoes on my feet, I bought it." It? It? Singular? Do you bloody hop everywhere then?

Idle writing balls.

I was about to say this.
In my younger days I experienced something like it: Shuffling down a corridor, almost passing out, then suddenly banging into the door that had been miles away a second ago. When I heard the Oasis lyric I thought he described the experience well.

4 a.m. in the morning
From Moonlight Shadow

When the fuck else does 4 a.m. happen? Lazy AND stupid, especially when "4 o'clock" would scan just as well.

The worst of it is, it's quite common for people to say that now.
