Is this the whiniest song ever written?
Posted by seanioio on 14 July 2010 - 4:26pm.
I have just been listening to a bit of James on Spotify & came across this number;
I know that Morrissey can be self pitying, but come on Tim Booth, this is pathetic!! Man up will you!!
Can anyone do any better?? I’m sure the massive will provide many more whiny tunes. Come on, do me proud!

lyrics in full - prozac at the ready
So I'm on my own
Far from my broken home
And it costs
Feels like 10 below
Pack me off to school
Innocence and trust
Are all lost
Where did my childhood go
Calling from the payphone
Trying not to cry
Feeling I am dying
Telling you I'm fine
You tell me it's the making of me
That's a fucking lie
When's the holidays
Holidays
Holiday
I'm at the bottom of my bed
Headphones on my head
John Peel's show
Feels like 10 below
The sky's a dull gun metal
Where did the sun
And it rains and rains
Feels like 10 below
Turning on the weaker ones
When we were bored
I used to have feelings
But all I feels a hole
Is where the heart is
And the organ praise the lord
When's the holidays
Holidays
Holiday
He's at war
He's at war
With himself at the world
He's at war
He will strike first to anticipate
He's at war
Don't know how to relate
Feel like a cold war spy
If I's caught
Take the easy way out
I really like Tim Booth's lyrics.
Seems like he's playing a role. Imagining himself into the head of a kid sent away to school.
Mind you he could sing the phone book and I'd listen.
I'm In Love With A Girl Who Doesn't Know I Exist
I remember this from my floppy-fringed, flower-toting teen years as perhaps the ultimate example of the whiney, loser-in-love genre. None more whine!
Trouble by Coldplay...
...makes me want to force Chris Martin to smash his piano, go to the pub and aggressively eat pork scratchings.
I'm afraid it isn't...
I tried to write a song when I was around 20 years old. It was so pathetic it made Adrian Mole seem like Charles Atlas. It lies buried, unloved and shite in the darkest recesses of my memory.
Don't feel bad...
Patrick. As a teen I was in a band called The Airborn Germs. We did a song I wrote called Lactic Acid Breakdown. Oh, the days...
Saw the word whiny and immediately thought of this
It's not just the band (they almost seem to be enjoying themselves) how bloody miserable are the kids in the video? Over-privileged mardy tosspieces to a (wo)man.
Nope
I think it's great. Welcome back James - I'm with Adman on Tim Booth as well. Wonderful stuff.
You want self-pity?
Try this...
Well...
Technically, someone was out to crucify him...
Whiny?
Since you mention Morrissey in your thread I give you 'Heaven knows I'm miserable now" If you are that miserable why don't you stick your head in an oven you silly prat?. At least it would stop us having to hear any more of your vapid crap.Go and lie down with the other bed wetters.
I disagree
The line "I was looking for a job and then I found a job. And heaven knows I'm miserable now" is one of the most profound ever written.
The Wettest
I don't know about whiny, but the purveyor of the single wettest line in pop, is Damien Rice. Whenever i hear him sing 'teach me to be shy' , i'd like to take a brick to the radio!
