Good Song: Don’t Dream It’s Over by Crowded House
Bad Lyrics: A major 80s hit with some extremely vague lyrics.
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
I guess freedom’s everywhere, then.
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
This is, at best, terrible advice.
Now I’m towing my car, there’s a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion, but there’s no proof
So, you think your stereo’s cheating on you and you’re looking for what, exactly? Lipstick on the volume knob?
Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
The world’s always coming in uninvited - so rude!

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
