Pointless Hymns - and Naff Lyrics

This from Archdruid Eileen is great fun, and is a game I like to play too!  There are many variations of course, depending on the style, tradition and repetoire of the congregation concerned... such fun to get the Taize lot to sing Doug Horley, or the Kendrick convention to try something in Khosa, but then I'm just VERY mean.  Even in churches with good repetoires, and with things I've used before, people still claim never to have heard of it... another 250 units in the confusion jackpot!

And so to naff lyrics... I was listening as usual to PAYG this morning, and the stilling music today included the line 'nothing ever lasts forever' which wins my prize for naffest lyric of the week.  I don't need great poetry, and I certainly don't need worthy but unsingable complexity, but I think that line takes the biscuit for bland banality!
