Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Sum 41

Song lyrics aren't supposed to be a fountain of perfect english, but on the other hand some are just so atrocious, they need to get called out. We're not looking for sentance fragments or the word ain't since there are too many instances to count.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics, Sum 41

All Killer No Filler album at Amazon.com
Sum 41's, "Fat Lip"
The Lyrics:
But you don't make sense from all the gas you be huffing.
Why:
"Be huffing" is incorrect. It either needs to be "all the gas you've been huffing" or "all the gas you are huffing".

Sum 41's, "With Me"
The Lyrics:
I don't want this to ever end.
Why:
This is a split infinitive. The infinitive in this lyric is "to end". An infinitive must be containing the word "to" and the verb. If another word is present, usually an adjective, in between the two words, it is called a split infinitive.
