In Guy Garvey's radio show last night he admitted to having accidentally taken a lyric from somone's else's song. He also said that a major-selling female solo artist nicked some of his. Do you know who it was and do you know of any other glaring examples of nicked lyrics?

Limp Bizkit stealing NIN 'Closer lyrics.
Criminal!!
Bjork - 'Crying'
"There's no-one here/and people everywhere"
Did QOTSA pinch it deliberately for use in 'Better Living Through Chemistry'...?
Yes
but they credited her for it in the sleeve notes..
i wonder whose lyrics guy garvey stole
/who stole his lyrics?
He stole [accidentally!] from 'bloodorange'
by Howie Gelb and the line was, 'kiss me like your final meal'
Blink 182
knicked that bit from nirvana Come as you are.
I took my time...i hurried up...the choice was mine....etc
Stuff like that
is more of a homage than a case of theft though, surely?
Hmmm.
i think they're just a bit shit to be honest. there lyrics have never been spectacular.
Limp Bizkit stole an Eve 6 lyric many moons ago.
Something like "put my tender heart in a blender"
Found out today that
the line "Tender is the night" from Tender by Blur is nicked from Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats... Not really the same thing I know but that's the best I've got.
