Story about this misheard lyric by: Patrick

Hardly any of the lyrics of this song are easy to understand, which I think is part of the design. It just creates an atmosphere of vaguely understood impressions.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Hammerheads"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

Our time has come, age of the hammerhead
This is our mission, to be the daleks of God

Why They're Nonsensical:

Shriekback are without doubt world leaders in the field of nonsensical lyrics. I will prove this in time by submitting more gems. The beauty of them is that they sound (except in extremes as above) as if the just might mean something.
