"and in a pipe she sails to the motherland / or sells her love to another man" = worst lyric of 2011?

His fans seem to love "they say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator".
This analogy doesn't actually work as well as he and they seem to think.

so guess which psychopath thought he'd listen to this album?
next time anyone feels they must surely have now heard the worst shit ever i urge them to seek out 'wake me up', an excruciating litany of student bedsit twee cutesyisms in the vague form of a song. just staggering.

And I know you love shrekBecause we've watched it 12 times
And maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale tooAnd if your dvd ever breaks todayYou shoulda got a vcr because I've never own a blue ray, true say
I know I've always been shit at computer games because your brother alwaysBeats meAnd if I lost, I go across and chuck all the controllers at the tv
And you laugh at meAnd be asking meIf ima be home next weekThen lie with me, till I fall asleep[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/ed_sheeran/wake_me_up.html ]And flutter eye lash at me between the sheetsAnd you will never know just how beautiful you are to meAnd maybe I'm just in love when you wake me upAnd I think you hate the smell of smokeYou always try to get to stop
But you drink as much as meAnd I get drunk a lot
So I take you to the beachAnd walk along the sandAnd I'll make you a heart pendantWith a pebble held in my hand
And I'll carve it like this necklaceSo the heart falls where your chest isSo a piece of me is a piece of the beachAnd it fallls just where it needs to beAnd rests peacefully
So you just need to beathe to feel my heart against your nowMaybe I'm just in love when you wake me upMaybe I'm just in love when you wake me upMaybe I gfell in love when you woke me up

it would be if it was just a one-off or something, but it's actually a widespread thing for uk musicians to rep for nandos. they're all given nandos cards etc for free food.

i had to review the capital fm summertime ball a couple of months ago and for most of the duration of example's set i genuinely thought it was some between-song jape or competition winner, like some student or plumber had randomly wandered on stage and started to rap over a preset sample, and i couldn't figure out why everyone seemed to be going wild
