Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Tell No Lies"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I know
I know You could take me for a ride and I wouldn't even know it I know I know I'm vulnerable But what can I do? I'm new at this game of trust Why They're Nonsensical: If you know that you're already vulnerable then why the hell would you get into a situation where somebody can take advantage of your vulnerability?

| "Romantic Traffic"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: She's changing lanes
a bit too slow someone hits her from behind and she found new love in romantic traffic a place where dreams turn on and off like the street lights Why They're Nonsensical: I placed this in the Upbeat Yet Depressing Lyrics section but it seems appropriate enough for the Nonsensical Lyrics section because it seems to be a nonsensical to see romance getting into a rear end car accident.

"Being Compared To Talking Heads"
Critics in 1981 declared Spoons first album Stick Figure Neighbourhood to be "The best album that Talking Heads Never Wrote!" It does sound a bit like something Talking Heads would write. :)
