Good Song: Vertigo by U2
Bad Lyrics: A major hit for the boys from Ireland with some of their least sensical lyrics of all time.
Uno, dos, tres, catorce!
That’s one, two, three, fourteen. Off to a bad start, fellas.
Lights go down, it’s dark
It frequently is when the lights go down, Bono.
I’m at a place called Vertigo
(Donde esta?)
Vertigo, Iowa of course: home to rolling green pastures and kind, friendly folk.
The night is full of holes
As bullets rip the sky
We call those stars! They’re not holes - they’re just very far away.
I can feel your love teaching me how
Your love is teaching me how
How to kneel, kneel
Can’t be that long a lesson, can it? “Go down a bit. There, you’re done!”

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
