These are lyrics that we think are kind of nonsensical.

Here's a couple of the most recent entries...

Tom Petty's, "Free Fallin'"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
It's a long day, livin' in Reseda.
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Geography fail: no freeways run through the L.A. city district of Reseda (which is in the San Fernando Valley portion of L.A.). To the north, route 118 passes through Northridge; to the south, U.S. highway 101 passes through Tarzana; and to the east, there is I-405 which passes through Van Nuys. (Btw, Tom makes a few other references to the San Fernando Valley in this song.)

Human League's, "Don't You Want Me?"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Don't you want me, baby?
Why They're Nonsensical:
This line could also go under the repetitive category, but it's nonsensical because if you have to ask that question to someone, they don't want you. Especially if in the context of the song, it implies that the person doesn't want him (which seems to be the case here).
