Any good examples of cringe-worthy or really bad rhyming? :)

    Doesn't rhyme, but I'm not a fan of "Feel the sky blanket you/With gems and rhinestones"
    "There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
    "Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
    "Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."

    Not worse than (also not rhyming): "Off the track, in the mud. That's the moss in the aforementioned verse". What the fuck is that, haha.

    I kinda like that one too. There is a poetry to it.

    Don't know about the worst one, but I know some lines which are downright beautiful, like:

    "We were but stones, but your light made us stars..."

    If you take some astronomy into account; that is some beautiful piece of poetry.

    At the time that came out, It took 100$ to fill my truck.

    With Gas back at 4.00 per gallon, seems relevant again.

    Love the song, don't cringe when I hear this, but I sometimes get the feeling he didn't know what to say next.

    I used to be a crustacean
    In an underwater nation
    and I surf in celebration
    Of a billion adaptations

    Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
    Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.

    I feel the need
    Planted in me
    Millions of years ago
    Can't you see
    The oceans size?
    Defining time
    And tide
    Arising
    Arms laid upon me
    Being so kind
    To let me ride

    I scream in affirmation
    Of connecting dislocations
    And exceeding limitations
    Be achieving levitation

    Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
    Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.

    Got me a ride.
    I got me a ride.
    you're god and you've got big hands

    The line always felt forced and cheesy to me. Everything you pay for could instead be money in the bank!

    I think it is the way Ed delivers the lyrics more then the rhyme itself. No?

    True. It is a kind of "throw up in your mouth" kind of line.
