The logic of some lyricists never ceases to amaze me. My nominations for worst lyrics are: Michael Jackson- "If you wanna be starting something, you gotta be starting something." Joe Jackson- "You can't get what you want until you know what you want." I prefer to stick with Neil Peart- "Different eyes see different things Different hearts Beat on different strings But thre are times For you and me When all such things agree."

Awww, come on. So they're truisms; big deal! At least in the case of MJ, and to a lesser extent the one by JJ, at least they sound good. (i.e. the sound of the words (I think) is aesthetically pleasing, even if they don't mean diddly squat.) -------------- Mama say mama sow ma ma koo sa Mark Wachsler (or something like that) browngr!msw
