    MacArthur Park
    Someone left the cake out in the rain
    I don't think that I can TAKE it!
    'cause it took so long to BAKE it!
    And I'll never have that recipe againnnnn
    Oh Noooooooooo

    Making Love Out of Nothing At All- Air Supply
    I can make the runner stumble
    I can make the final block
    And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
    I can make all the stadiums rock
    I can make tonight forever
    Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
    I can make every promise that has ever been made
    I can make all your demons be done
    But I'm never gonna make it without you
    Do you really want to see me crawl
    And I'm never gonna make it like you do
    Making out of nothing at all (x 11)

    T-Bone- Neil Young (9 minutes +)
    Got mashed potatoes

    LFO - Summer Girls:

    New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
    Chinese food makes me sick.
    And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
    I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
    I'd take her if I had one wish,
    But she's been gone since that summer..
    Since that summer

    [Verse 1:]
    Hip Hop Marmalade spic And span,
    Met you one summer and it all began
    You're the best girl that I ever did see,
    The great Larry Bird Jersey 33
    When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
    Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
    Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby
    Something in your eyes went and drove me crazy
    Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad,
    Left one day and never came back
    Stayed all summer then went back home,
    Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone
    Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speaking
    Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton
    When I met you I said my name was Rich
    You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

    [Chorus:]
    New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
    Chinese food makes me sick.
    And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
    I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
    I'd take her if I had one wish,
    But she's been gone since that summer..
    Since that summer

    [Verse 2:]
    Cherry Pez,cold crush,rock star boogie
    Used to hate school so I had to play hookie,
    Always been hip to the B-boY Style
    Known to act wild and make girls smile,
    Love New Edition and the Candy Girl
    Remind me of you because you rock my world
    You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
    They drink lemonade and speak real slow
    You love hip hop and rock n roll
    Dad took off when you were 4 years old
    There was a good man named Paul Revere
    I feel much better baby when you're near
    You love fun dip and cherry Coke,
    I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke
    When I met you I said my name was Rich
    You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

    [Repeat Chorus]

    [Bridge:]
    In the summertime girls got it going on,
    Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
    Summertime girls are the kind I like,
    I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

    [Verse 3]
    Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
    My mind takes me back there oh so quick
    Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Limpet
    Think about that summer and I bug,cause I miss it
    Like the color purple,macaroni and cheese,
    Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees
    Call you up but whats the use
    I like Kevin Bacon,but I hate Footloose
    Came in the door I said it before,I think I'm over you
    but I'm really not sure
    When I met you I said my name was Rich
    You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

    [Repeat Chorus]

    [Bridge:]
    In the summer girls come and summer girls go
    Some are worth while and some are so so,
    Summer girls come and summer girls go
    Some are worth while and some are so so,
    Summertime girls got it going on
    Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
    Summertime girls are the kind I like
    I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

    [Repeat Chorus]

    The rush hate is laughable.

    I agree, peart is a little overrated and its quite apparent, that despite practically plagiarizing Ayn Rand on several albums, he never really understood her philosophy.

    That being said, his stuff should be nowhere near the "worst lyrics" category.

    Even though this is one of my favorite songs of all time, the lyrics are awful.

    Run Runaway-Slade

    I like black and white
    Dreaming in black and white

    You like black and white
    Run runaway.
    See chameleon lying there in the sun

    All things to everyone nur
    Runaway.
    If you're in the swing
    Money ain't ev'rything

    If you're in the swing
    Run
    Runaway.
    See chameleon lying there in the sun
    ...
    If you got a crush
    Don't beat about the bush

    When I got a crush
    Run
    Runaway.
    See chameleon lying there in the sun
    ...
    Run
    Runaway.
    Oh
    Now can't you wait
    Love don't come on a plate

    Oh
    Now can't you wait
    Run
    Runaway.
    See chameleon lying there in the sun
    ...
    Run
    Runaway
    Run
    Runaway
    Run
    Runaway.

    'Cause a free wind is blowing through your hair
    and the days surround your daylight there
    Seasons crying no despair
    Alligator lizards in the air,
    in the air!


    Totally nonsensical lyrics, and yet they roll off the tongue so easily. The bit about the alligator lizards makes me grin/grimace every time.

    I don't see how all 10 of these haven't been knocked out by modern wonders like "Soulja Boy".

    I think you could plug in pretty much any song by Live and make the list.

    All Over You
    Our love is like water
    Pinned down and abused
    For being strange

    Our love is no other
    Than me alone
    For me all day
    Our love is like water/angels
    Pinned down and abused

    All over you, all over me
    The sun, the fields, the sky
    Ive often tried to hold the sea
    The sun, the fields, the tide
    Pay me now, lay me down

    I Alone
    Its easier not to be wise
    And measure these things by your brains
    I sank into eden with you
    Alone in the church by and by

    Ill read to you here, save your eyes
    Youll need them, your boat is at sea
    Your anchor is up, youve been swept away
    And the greatest of teachers wont hesitate
    To leave you there, by yourself,
    Chained to fate

    I alone love you
    I alone tempt you
    I alone love you
    Fear is not the end of this!

    Its easier not to be great
    And measure these things by your eyes
    We long to be here by his resolve
    Alone in the church by and by
    To cradle the baby in space
    And leave you there by yourslef
    Chained to fate

    Oh, now, we took it back too far,
    Only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn
    All come runnin back to you, all these rhythms that you hide
    Only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn
    Yeah, yeah, yeah

    Lightning Crashes

    Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
    Her placenta falls to the floor
    The angel opens her eyes
    The confusion sets in
    Before the doctor can even close the door

    Lightning crashes, an old mother dies
    Her intentions fall to the floor
    The angel closes her eyes
    The confusion that was hers
    Belongs now, to the baby down the hall

    Oh now feel it comin back again
    Like a rollin thunder chasing the wind
    Forces pullin from the center of the earth again
    I can feel it.

    Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
    This moment shes been waiting for
    The angel opens her eyes
    Pale blue colored iris, presents the circle
    And puts the glory out to hide, hide

    "I ain't never seen
    An *** like that
    The way you move it
    You make my pee-pee go
    'Doing-doing-doing'"

    Tone Loc : She walked up and said "You have plans for the night?"
    I said "Hopefully if things go well I'll be with you tonight".
