Perhaps we could use Dr. J. Evans Pritchard's method of assessing the poetic value of various lyrics?

Perhaps you could. Go ahead. Nobody can stop you.

.... out of nowhere is McLean to blow them all away.

American Pie...maybe one of the best songs everrrrrrrrr.....(when I do hear lyrics, I prefer story tellers the best)

Though, being a musician, my mind rarely lets me even hear the lyric....its always about the music.....

Probably listened to a lot of songs a thousand times, yet have no clue what the words are.....except this one I love....

11. The Michigan play is perhaps the biggest fuckup in the history of American Sports. sell. Browns. We've seen worse and you all know it

12. Born to Run by Springsteen has the best lyrics of any song in the rock n roll era.sell. There's Bruce songs that I think are better like "Rosalita" and "Glory days" And Billy Joel songs that I think are better like "scenes from an Italian restaurant" bob dylan songs like "tangled up in blue" and songs that I plain out like better like "blank generation" by Richard hell and the voidoids, "bittersweet symphony" by the verve and a dozen other lesser known songs I could get into. Born to run's success isn't necessarily based on brilliant lyrics although I think they're good they're not the best

1. The Browns will finish with a .500 or better record.

Love it...or I would love it. Only has a chance of happening IF they win in St. Louis, a team that is coming off of a BYE. (Ratbirds had 10 days off, we still won).

2. The Cubs will win the World Series

Shove it....down 3-0, they're doomed.

3. There will be an undefeated team at the end of the season. (pre-playoffs)

Shove it, even the Patriots will lose 2 by season's end.

4. Peyton Manning will retire at the end of the season.

Love it- he knows it's time.

5. After one more loss, the Browns will put JP Manziel in as starting QB.

Shove it, only if McCown goes 9 for 34 with 75 yards in St. Louis does this happen.

6. DC Jim O'Neil will be fired before the season ends.

Shove it, we need continuity. How about adjusting and quit putting packages in every play. Let the best 11 stay on the field.

7. The St. Louis Rams will move back to LA before long.

Shove it, after what we went through, I don't want another city being screwed over by a greedy owner.,

8. The Steelers do not need Ben R. to win.

Shove it, long term, they need him. I'd rather not discuss that effing team at all.

9. The Ravens suck

Love it, really really love it. Hate those bastards.

10. JT Barrett will be the Ohio St. QB for the rest of the year.

Love it, should have been the choice all along.

11. The Michigan play is perhaps the biggest fuckup in the history of American Sports.

Sove it, stakes weren't high enough. Jackie Smith, Bill Buckner, last year's Super Bowl finish were worse.

12. Born to Run by Springsteen has the best lyrics of any song in the rock n roll era.

Shove it, that would be War Pigs by Black Sabbath (based on the timing, with the Vietnam War, and how true it is).

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream

At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines

Sprung from cages out on highway 9,

Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line

Oh-oh, Baby this town rips the bones from your back

It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap

We gotta get out while we're young

`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

yes, girl we were

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend

I want to guard your dreams and visions

Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims

and strap your hands 'cross my engines

Together we could break this trap

We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back

Oh-oh, will you walk with me out on the wire

`Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider

But I gotta know how it feels

I want to know if love is wild

Babe I want to know if love is real

Oh, can you show me

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard

Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors

And the boys try to look so hard

The amusement park rises bold and stark

Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist

I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight

In an everlasting kiss

1-2-3-4!

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive

Everybody's out on the run tonight

but there's no place left to hide

Together Wendy we can live with the sadness

I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

Oh-oh, someday girl I don't know when

we're gonna get to that place

Where we really wanna go

and we'll walk in the sun

But till then tramps like us

baby we were born to run

Oh honey, tramps like us

baby we were born to run

Come on with me, tramps like us

baby we were born to run

Ru-uh-uh-un

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Uh-uh-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ru-uh-uh-uh-un

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ru-uh-uh-un

OK those who shove it.....come up with a song with better lyric!

Garbage. Springsteen sucks.

There are a million tunes with better lyrics.

"...you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave"...name that tune.

nope, but lose out to the bye, and yup

6. DC Jim O'Neil will be fired before the season ends.

maybe

7. The St. Louis Rams will move back to LA before long.

near certainty

8. The Steelers do not need Ben R. to win.

win now, yes, win playoffs- no

9. The Ravens suck

until proven otherwise, yes

10. JT Barrett will be the Ohio St. QB for the rest of the year.

barring injury, yes

11. The Michigan play is perhaps the biggest fuckup in the history of American Sports.

in the top 5, Vikings (Jim Marshall) wrong way touchdown, and Garo Ypremian's gaffe are up there. Dwayne Rudd's helmet toss rates too.

12. Born to Run by Springsteen has the best lyrics of any song in the rock n roll era.

no way Jose. I like Bruce, but his lyrics are largely unintelligible. At least 10 songs by Dylan I'd put ahead, + a couple by Fleetwood Mac.

Here is one list. Obviously a very subjective subject. One Beatle song has only like 15-16 words.

michigan play, what the fuck happened there..my goodness..

browns will not finish 500, they just flat out smell on the ol and dl..no running game, pass rush, etc etc..don't see any of that changing this yr.

oneil, if this shit continues to happen, bounce his ass out.

never was a big springsteen fan. more the led zep fan.

cubs are now down 3 games. would not bet on them.

steelers are better with ben

no undefeated teams

peyton's last stand

loss of suggs was hugh for ravens, we may, just may end up in third place this yr. who hoooooo.

johnny will not see the field again. hopefully.

[The Gipper]

+ a couple by Fleetwood Mac.

Well, here are some lyrics by them that readily apply on this board:

"Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to".

Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show are fine with me. I saw them do that live at The Wildlife in downtown Akron back in the day.

When I talk to God He says he understands

come sit by Me and I'll be your guiding hand

"Don't ask me what I think of you,

I might not give the answer that you want me to".

Oh well-

Its a shame the Mac almost never play this song in their current lineup.

Lindsey Buckingham says the studio version has multiple guitar overdubs,

and it's hard to do it justice live.

PS- I'd nominate "The Chain" for best lyrics.

[miktoxic]

does anyone understand the lyrics from the springsteen written manfredd mann and the earth band performed 'blinded by the light'?

still stumps me to this day.

Lyrics

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner (fade out) in the night

Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer
with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
as the adolescent pumps
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round

With this very unpleasin',
sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground

Well she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Some silicone sister
with a manager mister
told me I got what it takes
She said
"I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart
was checkin' out the weather chart
see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly
came by in his curly-wurly
and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride

Well she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light

She got down but she never got tight
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night

------ guitar solo ------

But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is

Some brimstone baritone
anticyclone
rolling stone
preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone,
hit it in its funny bone,
and that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone
was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone
was messin' with his frozen zone,
reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground

But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

1)
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light

2) Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer
with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
as the adolescent pumps
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin',
sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
Now Scott with a slingshot
finally found a tender spot
and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not
said daddy's within earshot
save the buckshot, turn up the band
runner in the night
Some silicone sister
with a manager mister
told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"

She got down but She Never Got Touched
It's gonna make it through the night

yeah springsteen sucks.
