Good Song: One Headlight by The Wallflowers
Bad Lyrics: Jakob Dylan’s biggest hit, but not his most lucid moment.
I seen the sun comin’ up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
I was under the impression that all law was human law.
She said it’s cold
It feels like Independence Day
Must be pretty far north to have it be cold on July 4th.
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn’t turn
You may not be doing the best job of turning the engine then, hmm?
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I’d like to watch it burn
Shhh! Don’t say that out loud - you’ll lose out on the insurance money!
We can drive it home
With one headlight
Well, sure, you can drive it home, but don’t come crying to me when you get pulled over.

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
