Good Song: You Move Me by Garth Brooks
Bad Lyrics: One of many big country hits for Brooks with big chunks of nonsense in the lyrics.
This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive and no guarantees
Plus you’re always on a couch… ok, maybe it’s not a perfect metaphor.
So I lie here on the couch
Or is it?!
With my heart hanging out
Aw, Garth… that’s just… put it back in, man!
Frozen solid with fear,
Like a rock in the ground
Are you calling rocks cowards? I don’t think they’re inert out of fear.
Going through the emotions,
Not knowing what they mean
Arguably the worst pun on “going through the motions” of all time.

About me
Music is the joy of joys, but sometimes, words can get in the way. Be it a weak metaphor, a forced rhyme, or just pure nonsense - lyrics can go wrong a hundred ways. It won't stop us from loving a song, but it might give us pause to say, "Wait... what?""And, as I say, 70% is how you look, 20% is how you sound, only 10% is what you say." -Eddie Izzard
