Songs That Mention a Boasting

George Thorogood's, "Bad to the Bone"
The Boasting Lyrics:
I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
And
I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal
Comments:
These are the lyrics he's using to try to win the love of a woman. I just don't think she's going to be too impressed by his boasting of past conquests or believe that he wants to be only hers and hers alone.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics

Harry Nilsson's, "Me And My Arrow"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Wherever we go, everyone knows It's me and my arrow.
Why They're Nonsensical:
First of all, it should be 'My Arrow And Me.' It is not correct English to say 'Me And My Arrow.' Second of all, when Harry Nilsson mentions himself and his arrow, it makes him sound like the arrow is his girlfriend. That doesn't make any sense, I mean an arrow is not a person; an arrow is something that's used to point to something or give directions.

Insincere Song Lyrics

Alkaline Trio's, "All On Black"
The Insincere Lyrics:
RE: "Whats upside down was coated in silver? This crucifix is my four leaf clover"
Why They're Insincere:
This lyrics is absolutely not INsincere - he means every word. It is very Satanic - Matt Skiba and Derek Grant are both well-known members of the Church of Satan, and Dan Andriano is "comfortably" associated with the religion as well. If you pay close enough attention, many Alkaline Trio lyrics are Satanic....Satanism isn't "freakish" at all - try reading up on it yourself before passing judgment.

Armor For Sleep's, "Vanished"

Kids at play
underneath the light of day

I watched you change from spring to winter
I watched the sun drop out of the sky like it never was there

these parts of the song seem like they're about kids being ubducted or something, and it's quite upbeat
