Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"A Whisper"
The Repetitive Lyrics: A whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper
I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks I remember your face remember when you are lost A whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper Why They're Repetitive: Definitely the worst Coldplay song, that set of lyrics is all he says, I think, I can't stand it.
Submitted by: silverbeatle
| "Clocks"
The Repetitive Lyrics: 1. The Chord layout
2. Ooooooooo ahhhhh ooooo ahhh Why They're Repetitive: Ok, first of all, he just keeps playing the same chords over and over again. Congratulations man, you can move your fingers in the same direction on a piano. I'm surprised he didn't get carpal tunnel syndrome. Second, if the chords weren't boring enough, he just keeps singing oooooooo ahhhh, which doesn't even make sense. If that is seriously the chorus, I'm mourning for my generation.
