Misrhymed Song Lyrics:

"Doesn't Remind Me"

The Misrhymed Lyrics:

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped

Why They're Misrhymed:

Maybe they should have changed the lyrics from 'doesn't remind me of anything' to 'doesn't rhyme with anything'

"Cochise"

The Misrhymed Lyrics:

I've been watching
While you've been coughing.
And so i drink to health
while you kill yourself

Why They're Misrhymed:

ok health and yourself are close enough but not quite. not as bad as watching and coughing tho, although the way he sings it makes it sond a bit better i spose! i love chris cornells voice, it rules ova shit like fred durst and britney spears (talk bout manufactured and fake!)
