Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Truckdrivin' Neighbours Downstairs (Yellow Sweat)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: But you're a lousy low life who can't do nothing for himself
Why They're Nonsensical: Here's the problem: There is a grammatical inconsistency with "you're" and "himself" (as well as the double negative, which is way too common in songwriting anyway, so there's too many examples of that in lots of songs).
Submitted by: Mike Hack
| "E-Pro"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: See me kicking the door with my boots
Broke down out in a ditch of old rubbish Snakes and bones in the back of your room Handing out a confection of venom Heaven's drunk from the poison you use Charm the wolves with the eyes of a gambler Now I see it's a comfort to you Hammer my bones on the anvil of daylight Why They're Nonsensical: No matter how hard I try, I can't find any meaning to this verse...or any other parts of the song...
