    Well, it's just what MY ears clearly hear, I'm not going to be so bold as to say it's a proven fact.

    Well it's a lot more than anyone else has done to clear up this silly little mystery. Well done!

    I wouldn’t call these bad lyrics, but if you analyze them, it’s weird.

    They’re from The Turtles’ “Happy Together”.

    “No matter how they tossed the dice, it had to be
    The only one for me is you, and you for me”

    Can you see how that last part says the same thing twice?

    Yet it gives the impression that it means “The only one for me is you, and the only one for you is me.”

    But that’s not what it means. It means “The only one for me is you, and the only one for me is you.”

    That’s why I say it’s weird.

    There is a Blind Melon song which describes his philosophical thoughts while he's steeping a cup of tea.

    That’s fair enough. Isn’t that when most people have their philosophical thoughts?

    Your take is perfectly reasonable. I'm a Morrison fan so I forgive him a lot.

    He’s basically saying he’s got a ‘tension’ that can’t be relieved by ‘abrassion’ - it’s a pretty clever (and deeply smutty) lyric...

    Spandau Ballet's "Highly Strung".

    I have no idea what these lyrics are trying to say/convey:

    "This is the song of little Jo
    She's not the girl I used to know
    Forever screaming all the day and night
    She used to be a diplomat
    But now she's down the laundromat
    They washed her mind
    And now she finds it hard..."

    I actually think they should have followed Dylan into Nobel Prize territory for this.

    The lyrics to the Smashing Pumpkins' "One and All" are pretty horrible:
    Songwriters: William Corgan

    I don't mind what you're running
    'Cause you and me we're just something
    Don't just hang what you're running on
    I don't mind the sound alone

    One and all
    We are, we are so young
    We're young, we're young
    One and all
    We are, we are so young
    We're young, we're young
    One and all
    We are, we are so young
    We're young, we're young

    Let's get heat and we living
    Don't ya hide what you're getting
    Don't ya want all the ones that stall
    Don't ya mind, if it's me at all
    One and all
    I just say when you love him
    'Cause you and me we are running
    Baby sweet, are we rust in cuffs
    I don't save for rainy days

    One and all
    We are, we are so young
    We're young, we're young
    One and all
    We are, we are so young
    We're young, we're young
    One and all
    We are, we are so young
    We're young, we're young
    Can't just care what you're doing
    Me and you, we're just ruined
    Just but cheat for the morning's traum
    Don't ya mind, if it's me at all
    If it's me at all, if it's me at all
    I don't mind a thing or two
    One and all
    We are, we are so young
    One and all
    We are, we are so young
    One and all
    We are, we are so young
    One and all

    Pete Townshend, "Empty Glass":

    Why was I born today
    Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say

    Err... shouldn't that be like Ecclesiastes says?

    I guess if an otherwise easy rhyme doesn't work, just use bad grammar and move on to the next line. :rolleyes:
