2. Stop The Childish Lyrics
Here comes the sirens, here comes the law! Run from the sirens, run from the law! yells Tuck on the chorus of Riot, and as you can tell he wasnt having his most cerebrally-challenging day at the office. Riot was the second single from Temper Temper, the self-titled track of the same name having such lyrics as, This time you better bite your tongue, Think twice before you open that mouth, Save your breath, hold it in your lungs, The urge remains, will it overcome? Again, you give a notepad to a particularly teatime-starved teenager and youll receive much the same output. With more accessible radio-friendly pop-tripe being the audial equivalent of holding a microphone up to a spilt bottle of polish, when you have a band called Bullet for my Valentine, they should convey nothing short of either insanely over-the-top tunes that poke fun at the overblown nature of the genre itself, or embrace the self-serious nature of The Poison/Scream Aim Fire, where even lyrics like I come down on you like a ton of bricks! are delivered with enough believability to make them work.
