LYRICS

Why is a song sometimes sheer poetry, and sometimes it's just lines that sort of rhyme?

The name of the group on The Daily Show (Jon Stewart) yesterday was Cold Something. It was nice music - it sounded good - but at least with the song they performed, it was NOT lyrics, it was lines that rhymed, and that was it. Nothing poetic.

But it prompted me to look up some lyrics of songs I like, and I ended up plastering this blog page with one of my favorites - good luck if you can actually READ them.
