Repetitive Lyrics:
"I'm Gonna Be (1,000 Miles)"
The Repetitive Lyrics: I would walk 500 miles
and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles to get right at your door. Why They're Repetitive: I think we get the idea that the boys in this group would do just about anything to get the girl that they love. There's no need to repeat it 20 times.

"Letter from America"
The Lyrics: When you go will you send back
A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada [...] The way you felt the day you sailed From Wester ross to Nova Scotia [...] Lochaber no more Sutherland no more Lewis no more Skye no more [...] Bathgate no more Linwood no more Methil no more Irvine no more Why: America, Miami, Canada and Nova Scotia, and the Scottish places of Lochaber, Sutherland, Lewis, (the Isle of) Skye, Bathgate, Linwood, Methil and Irvine. The song is about Scottish emigrants to the North America.
