Really bad song lyrics

[Peloso]

I was just in the supermarket being assaulted with banal soft rock songs. I'm aware that song lyrics allow a certain degree of bad grammar, euphemistic digression, and hackneyed similes, but can someone please explain what it means to "keep track of visions in my eyes" and how this relates to wearing sunglasses? At night?

Here's another one by the Motels that sounds like Trump wrote it:

We lie about each other's drinks
We live without each other
Thinking what anyone would do
Without me and you


and Bryan Adams:

There's no love
Like your love
And no other love could give more love.

Sounds like someone is really really drunk.


And, God help me, The Beach Boys:

take my hand and let me hear your heartbeat

Brian Wilson has ears on his hands??


And my favorite, by Connie Chung's Penis or whatever it is that they call themselves:

Take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears

I imagine some guy at the Elk Lodge Arbor Day Hoedown grabbing his girlfriend's ears and staring menacingly into her eyes.


Isn't there a law against this? Can they be sued? Somebody do something!!

Actually Bernie Taupin has written some of the most maladroit lyrics of all time that Elton sang....where do I even begin?

Could be worse.
One day at the grocery store and it's Top 40 stuff that must be cheap on the royalties. The next day is the twangiest Country shit you can imagine.
No cRap. Yet.

Ever heard Black Sabbath?

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves, will he fall?

or

Generals gather in their masses
Just like witches at black masses.

Drugs indeed.

Yeah..... good times.

Bile them cabbage down, boys,
Bake those hot cakes brown, boys.
The only song that I can sing,
Is bile them cabbage down.

You could always listen to RUSH to get your brainy tunes fix.


And Ozzy was one of my main rock gods back in the day.
I was a metal head.

then you listen to Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and wonder how you survived the 60's

In-a-gadda-da-vida, honey,
Don't you know that i love you?
In-a-gadda-da-vida, baby,
Don't you know that i'll always be true?

Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand?

Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land?

Please take my hand!
