Awful Lyrics

Swing low sweet cherry
Make it awful
It's your life, it's your party, it's so awful
Let's start a fire
Let's have riot! Yeah it's awful
It was punk
Yeah, it was perfect now it's awful

They know how to break all the girls like you
And they rob the souls of the girls like you

Swing low, cherry, cherry
Yeah it's awful
He's drunk, he tastes
Like candy, he's so beautiful
He's so deep like dirty water
God, he's awful
You're lost, oh, where's your daddy - it's so awful

And they royalty rate all the girls like you
And they sell it out to the girls like you
To incorporate little girls

Hey, run away with the light
Run away it's divine
Let's run away, yeah, tonight and
We'll steal the light of the world

Swing low, sweet cherry, yeah, it's awful
You're ripe for the picking, it's so awful
You've got your youth
Don't waste your money
Yeah it's awful
I was punk!
Now I'm just stupid!
I'm so awful

Oh, just shut up you're only 16

If the world is so wrong
Yeah you can break them all
With one song
If the world is so wrong yeah you can take it all
With one song

Swing low sweet cherry
Make it awful
They bought it all, just build a new one,
Make it beautiful...yeah

I'm usually the type of person who prefers quieter music, but I must state that I love Courtney Love and Hole's music. I think that she is a great musician and I am fond of most of her songs. I just wanted to add that it's amazing how time flies. I mean, and not that it matters, but she is almost 50 years young. But alive and kicking - very hard. It's nice, she is truly devoted and I like that. Does anyone else feel the same way?

in courtney's own words: 'you know what that song is about? it's about my dumb affair with gavin rossdale'.

yeh i think its about the descent of the music industry into mindless rubbish and the marketing of teenage girls who have no talent, and the way they are propelled into success. "it was punk, yeah it was perfect, now its awful" might be a reference to rip off punk bands and how its not original anymore

this song is f*cking awesome

Cover art for Awful lyrics by Hole

yo creo que esta narrado desde el punto de vista de una groupie que ve como una chica joven esta esperando a los miembros de la banda que acompaña después del concierto, "era punk, era perfecto ahora es horrible" se ve a ella misma en esta chica y recuerda cuando era rebelde y no pensaba en las consecuencias que podría tener en el futuro " Ellos saben cómo romper a todas las chicas como tú Y roban las almas de las chicas como tú " "Está borracho, sabe A caramelo, es tan hermoso" "Es tan profundo como agua sucia" habla sobre como los músicos seducen a las chicas jóvenes como ella y que aunque en ese momento parecen dioses en realidad son tipos bastante mediocres a los que les gustan las adolescentes"Y califican de realeza a todas las chicas como tú Y se lo venden a las chicas como tú Para incorporar a las niñas pequeñas" "Estás perdida, oh, ¿dónde está tu papá? Es tan horrible" "Hey, huye con la luz,huye, es divino.Huyamos, sí, esta noche y robaremos la luz del mundo." de dice a esta chica que se vaya antes de que sea demasiado tarde y que aun es muy joven como para estar con hombres mayores "Oh, cállate, sólo tienes 16 años."

It makes sense that this song is about groupies

i also think this song has something to do with marketing in the music industry, and how it's sad/awful that singers/groups sell out ["it was punk, yeah it was perfect, now its awful"], and are just into singing for the money ["And they royalty rate all the girls like you, And they sell it out to the girls like you "], and how the industry is trying to get young girls who dont know any better ["oh just shut up, you're only sixteen]. Also, maybe how music is really powerful, and influences people alot ["if the world is so wrong, you can break them all with one song. if the world is so wrong, you can take it all with one song"]
