What song lyrics do You find particularly true and for that matter dishonest or wrong?

Just listening to an ok Yes album, Big Generator and one of the songs has this as the main lyrics:

"Love Will Find a Way, If You Want It To."

Sorry, but that's just wrong, I think anyone who's reach 15, say 18 at the outside, will know that's patently soppy and doesn't work in the real world.*




* Just my opinion, who knows perhaps it has worked for someone?  :D

I love that song (then again, I love most every Yes song). :)

Yeah, its a relatively under-rated album and the songs are good, just much of the lyrics don't bear scrutiny, it's manly love songs isn't it?

Actually thinking about it, a girl,the best friend of a female friend, have me that album years ago; I wonder if she was trying to communicate something?  :hmm:

Keeping in the same basic genre, I will put forth 'The Logical Song' by Supertramp as having especially true lyrics, at least to me.

I'm still trying to figure out how women communicate, man.

I don't think there is anything your with what the song is saying. Other than you pulling the chorus
out of context.
"there's a long tradition of insulting people we disagree with here, and I'll be damned if I listen to your entreaties otherwise."-OVB

"Obviously not a Berkut-commanded armored column.  They're not all brewing."- CdM

"We've reached one of our phase lines after the firefight and it smells bad—meaning it's a little bit suspicious... Could be an amb—".

I have found these lyrics to be true. "Istanbul was Constantinople. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople."
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I am unsure of the veracity of the line "There's no business like show business".

Well I guess it depends on what love is supposed to find its way to :hmm:

"In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight"

I mean WTF?  Lions don't live in the jungle they live in the savannah.

I don't think the lyrics are referring to the use of Rohypnol.  :hmm:

None of the Sheenas I know are punk rockers.
