Dumb lyrics ruin songs. There should be a site explaining exactly
why. Heavily moderated, contributors must have advanced degrees
in poetry and poetics.
This song has better lyrics.

Kimbra - Good Intent
https://genius.com/...-good-intent-lyrics
Most poetic song I can think of off the top of my head. Very difficult to sing along to, but a lot of fun once you learn it. [notexactly, May 10 2018]

Just the other day, I heard on the radio Kate Bush's song "I, I,
granny, granny, granny, I, I". |
|
| |
She had solved this problem on the cheap by translating it into a
foreign language, so her intended audience wouldn't notice the
dumbth. |
|
| |
"Hoooooooooooold a chicken in the air..." |
|
| |
OK, doing that; now what? |

I dunno, I think there's something to be said for gross
stupidity in lyrics ("Party 'til you puke / Party 'til you puke /
Party 'til you puke / Party 'til you puke / Go / Go, go, go,
go, go, go, go, go"). Not everyone can be Leonard Cohen or,
indeed, bomb atomically, and sometimes you don't want to
hear complex poetics. Sometimes the words are just
another instrument ("Maximum respect to the whole
European posse! / Make some noise! / Ravers of the
universe, you keep the spirit alive! / Come on! Come on!
Hardcore!!"). |

Dumb ideas ruin advancement. There should be a site
explaining exactly why. Oh wait, there is the help file... |

But actually, the idea might have comic potential - pseuds
corner applied to the gormless chuntering of popstrels and
dancemongers. |

Rayford you are becoming grumpy. |

Hey, nobody calls my mate [Rayfo] "becoming". |

Speaking of deep, meaningful songs about birds, I looked
up one of my favorite lyrics and was disturbed to
see
that the person who transcribed this and put it on the
web: |
|
| |
A) Transcribed this and put it on the web and |
|
| |
B) Got the lyrics wrong. It's "The Bird is THE word..." |
|
| |
For review in case he made other mistakes. |
|

A-well-a ev'rybody's heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, b-birdd's a word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, bird is a word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, well-a bird is a word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's a word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, well-a bird is a word
A-well, a bird, bird, b-bird is a word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's a word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, well-a bird is a word
A-well, a bird, bird, b-bird's a word
A-well-a don't you know about the bird?
Well, everybody knows that the bird is a word
A-well-a-bird, bird, b-bird's a word, a-well-a
A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
Bird, bird, bird, b-bird's a word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's a word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's a word
A-well, a bird, bird, b-bird's a word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's a word |

That's only about half the song. I can post the rest if
necessary. |
|
| |
I like the part where he's talking about the bird. |
|
| |
Yes, it's called Dignitas. |

Speaking of dumb, the half-assed parody of the idea thing
wasn't funny when you were doing it ten years ago. |

Speaking of reading the help file ... |
