Love that song Max.
Reminds me of Paul McCarney line in Hey Jude (er, somehow...)
"And don't you know that its just you hey jude you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulders"
Apparently he wasn't sure about it either and asked John and John said Yeah, I get it.
Must have been smoking something.
Lyrics don't get any worse than these. Or do they?

Yeah but it did have to rhyme with
"there were sand and hills and rings"
These guys came right out of school and in to the top of the pops with those lyrics.... but it was the vibe and the sound of those guitars. I was sold instantly. I believe they toppled Neil Young's Heart of Gold from the number 1 spot with that song.

Speaking of Neil Young....How about these lyrics, not bad but what's it mean
After The Goldrush
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home.

Ok, my contribution:
Let me preface this by saying that I really like Rush a lot. When I was 20 they were, by far, my absolute favorite group. I loved them so much that I collected all of their albums on vinyl and (I kid you not) would do charcoal sketches of Neil Peart's face. Yes, I was that kind of girl.
Anyway. I still think they're a pretty solid band and, though I don't love them with the intensity that I had at age 20 (sorry Neil!), I still listen to them on a fairly regular basis. But that doesn't change the fact that the following lyrics are some of the dumbest I've ever heard in a rock song:
From "Tom Sawyer:"
"Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit."
Um.. no, thank you!

Also the creepiest. Here are some lyrics from his song "Sweet Caroline."
Look at the night and it don't seem so lonely
We filled it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when I'm holding you
Like a lot of mediocre lyricists, Neil stuck in the word "shoulder" because he needed a two-syllable word. But what makes these lyrics creepy is that he wrote them for Caroline Kennedy, who was about seven years old when this song was written.

"I am, I said!" Neil Diamond had to be the schmaltziest singer ever.Haha! Tony, what song is that from?

And another from Neil Diamond. What woman wouldn't just melt with lyrics like these! :laugh:
Neil Diamond's "STONES"
Stones would play inside her head
And where she slept,
They made her bed
And she would ache
For love and get but stones
La la la la la la la la la
