Repetitive Song Lyrics:

"Midnight Train To Georgia"

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:

"Midnight Train to Georgia"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
I'd rather live in his world,
Than live without him in mine.
Why They're Inappropriate:
This make total sense. In the future, weed out the idiots. (As I'm sure your whitty selves will peg me) The man wants to go back to a place that fits him, and since she loves him, the woman wants to go to so she cam be with him. She's doing fine, it is her world, but she'll give it up for him. What's wrong with love??

"Midnight Train to Georgia"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
I'd rather live with him in his world,
Than without him in mine.
Why They're Inappropriate:
These lines (which in themselves make little sense) have nothing to do with the rest of the song, which is about a man who had left home with dreams of making the big time, only to come back home after failing to do so. Worse yet, these lines are repeated numerous times, spoiling an otherwise good song.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"Neither one of Us"
The Lyrics:
It's sad to think, we're not going to make it. And it's got to the point where we just can't fake it. But for some ungodly reason, we just won't let it die. I guess neither one of us, wants to be the first to say good-bye.
Why:
Ironically...this would be one of the last songs that Gladys Knight would perform for Motown.
