The Most Meaningless Lines in Pop Music History

Nickelback- "Savin' Me"

-- Steve Go1dberg

Is that Sting?

Mmm bop, flip ta ba du op
Du daba, du op
Flip ta ba du
Ye-ah
Mmm bop, flip ta ba du op
Du daba, du op
Flip ta ba du
Ye-ah
in an mmm bop there gone,
in an mmm bop there not there
in an mmm bop there gone

Hip Hop Marmalade spic And span,
Met you one summer and it all began
Your the best girl that I ever did see,
The great Larry Bird Jersey 33

Stayed all summer then went back home,
Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone
Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speakin
Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton

When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespere wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby
Sumthin in your eyes went and drove me crazy

yeah...

Is that Sting?

...sounds like a typical cryptic crossword clue.

Now, if the Cure had sung this....

-weezer

i was tryna sedate him tryin not to blow tryin not to hate him but time was as blatant as gold, wouldn't you know?

WAHT?

"Nothing you can do that can't be done" - erm.

"here come the dancers, one by one
your mama's callin', but you're, havin' fun
you find you're dancin' on a number nine cloud
put your hands together now, and sing it out loud
it's all part, of my rock and roll fantasy
it's all part, of my rock and roll dream"

anyway I think i like "meaningless" lyrics more than meaningful lyrics anyway. "And I will drive my chariot down your streets and cry
'Well, it's me, I'm dynamite and I don't know why'"

All the rats and all the peacocks,
Built a ship and flew to venus,
Babe, I do mean babe.

It's about an epiphany, dood.

Oh wait, that had a meaning.

No, we don't, but we love your videos.

This means, "I really like Manu Dibango"

"And one and one is two
But three is company
When you're thinking about the things you do
And you're thinking about the things you do
I want to tell you my tale
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail
I hope you understand there's more in a smile than in a hand
In every sky, in every kiss
There's something that I might have missed
blah blah blah skinful of dope"

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

My best friend's a butcher; he has sixteen knives.
He carries them all over the town; at least, he tries.
Oh look, it stopped snowing.

I can't pretend
I need to defend
some part of me from you
Hey wow that dude's beard is crazy

How many people seriously hear all of the lyrics to songs, let alone most of them or even understand the principles behind them?

Heathen Chemistry still takes the cake, tho:

She is love
and her ways are high and steep
She is love
and I believe her when she speaks

-or maybe that's just the secret to the known universe.

I don't believe this happened to anybody.

Dawn of thought transfered through moments of days undersearching earth
Revealing corridors of time provoking memories, disjointed but with purpose,
Craving penetrations offer links with the self instructor's sharp
And tender love as we took to the air, a picture of distance.

Dawn of our power we amuse redescending as fast as misused
Expression, as only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing
Late into corners, and we danced from the ocean.

Dawn of love sent within us colours of awakening among the many
Wont to follow, only tunes of a different age.
As the links span our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting."

then again, it may be the greatest lyric ever....

"You've gone too far this time
But I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around -
With my chances on the dangerline"

"Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny."

"I shed my skin
When the party was about to begin
I'm light years away but I'm walking back tonight
Of all nights
When I should be feeling just right
Don't want to be in public
My head is full of chopstick
I don't like it"

"Midnight, I think I'm gonna make it
Feel the magical lash of the roll and the crash in their lives..
Headline, in tomorrow's papers,
Kill that light it's so bright
And you're shining it right in my eyes."

"Summer of madness the undertow, dragged me up an alley -
For the blossoming fire on a strangers smile.
Bride of wires - how disguise so easily cracked -
Saw your heart turn spade, this orchids turned to black.."

"Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake.
There's a fine line drawing my senses together,
And I think it's about to break."

"Shackled and raised for a shining crowd
They want you to speak but the music is louder than
All of their roar with the heat of the planet's core-but
[CHORUS]
The shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night"

"Those words are all remainders
Echos growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivetys star.
Awaken all those whispers,
The dusty shadow of a passing favour
I wouldnt say that you were ruthless or right
I couldnt see from so far.
Was I chasing after rainbows?
One thing for sure - you never answered when I called.
And I wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger..."

Thankfully they spared "Tiger Tiger" from le Bon's lyrics.

just like stories of coffee machines
breakin' corner stones
comes as a minor surprise
but where does it come from like that
I'll call a stand-in stoned box
flyin hells up a russian cut
common and sane
it's common insane
I am gettin there
not from the salvation of cat
not from the salvation of starfish
crossing over borderlines
takin' down all the ticket lines
why do they sell you that ?
you could've saved
you could've saved me from that
you're not awake above my eyes
longer time on residental side
fisherman is a shoulder
more like a beegee song

Huh? Oh yeah.

we live in a wheel :: where everyone steals :: but when we rise it's like strawberry fields

got a machinehead better than the rest :: green to the red machinehead :: and i walk from my machine :: i walk from my machine :: deaf dumb and thirty
