Mark E Smith's Finest Lyrical Putdowns

ThirstyDog [Edit] [Delete] 10:30, 29 July '12

We all know that MES has one of music's most acid tongues, so let's share some of his most acerbic lyrical slaggings. A few for starters:

"I do not like your tone! It has ephemeral, whingeing aspects" (It's a Curse)

"I thank the lord that you still don't live next to me" (Hillary)

"Your mystic jumpsuits cannot hide your competitive plagiarism...Freddie & the Dreamers, come on up" (Idiot Joy Showland)

"You've cut my income by one third...you hog the bathroom, and you never put your hand in your pocket" (Glam Racket)
