| | I seem to recall Desree saying that the song was a complete outtake, with the lyrics just straight off her head using up studio time at the end of a session. Still unforgiveable that it was released.
My pet hate with lyrics are songwriters with a pataological desire to rhyme everything - Oasis being a case in point. Of course, there is that rare occasion where even the wierdest lyrics cannot drag the music down ... take the Pixies as an example. | | | |

| | At least many of the Pixies songs made sense when you actually understood what they were about. Like Debaser is about a surrealist film called "Un Chien Andalou" which was created by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali. No, I've never seen it, but I know they slice up eyeballs, er... lovely!
"Here Comes your Man" is about a hurricane apparently, makes more sense now. | | | |

| | Thanks for that Binokular. I always wondered why Francis roared "I am un chien andalusia" repetitively in the middle of the song.
I disagree with Vent My Spleen. Often the wierder the lyrics the better they are. Take Billy Corgan's writing for the Smashing Pumpkins for example | | | |

| | Un Chien Andalou was insufferable, ponderous nonsense, something I sat through in college...still one of the most comfortabl snoozes I ever had in a classroom.
The eyeball scene was worth waking up for though - although the eyeball eating scene in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here last year was infinitely grosser. Though I doubt it'll make it to any Pixies lyrics. | | | |
