so you like the keats poem where a man seduces a naked child (she's 14), kidnaps her, and promises marriage based upon a superstitious ritual that she did in order to find her true love.

not sure where this is coming from - is this what happened in the poem it's based on?

the poem I speak of tells a terse tale of a destroyer of men

Did Hasbinbad dictate this thread to you through emails Jeremy? It's fucking uncanny-- the arrogance, aggression, subversion. Vintage HBB.

Thanks for your informative contribution, Retti. Well-researched, well-written - one could not ask for a finer RnF post from a neglectful father.

I in no way fail to recognize the brilliance and beauty of simplicity, Heebo! We are again debating something completely outside of my claim. I generally pride myself on being rather succinct when the situation calls for it. My qualm with lyrics is not that they're simple - it's that they're stupid; it's just a coincidence that most lyrics are both simple AND stupid. Attempting to lump shitty song lyrics in with other wonderful yet simple things simply because they're simple simply doesn't make sense to me.

Italian cuisine is generally described as "simple" and is some of the tastiest out there!

The way I see it is they're not really related. Whether a song lyric is shitty or not has very little to do with its level of simplicity. It's really about how tacky and terse and utterly annoying it is.

Show me what lyrics you like and I'll explain to you why they're fucking stupid.

Is poetry stupid too?

Many songs are just poetry put to a melody. If the use of prose, metaphors, style, and rhythm to express an idea or feeling is not a valid or intelligent manner of expression, go ahead and throw out the majority of our literary works along with every song ever created.

Not saying all lyrics are good, poetry, or worth listening to, but to put a blanket statement of 'all song lyrics r dum' is wrong.

Or did I just get trolled?

Go read some Bad Religion lyrics, and be impressed.
