Stupidest Lyric Line

[JimBowie1958]

OK, do you have a song that sounds intelligent and written by a rational adult, but has this one line in the lyrics that simply is the dumbest lyric in the world?

I think Kneel Diamond has one for me. My wife is a huge Kneel Diamond fan and I enjoy most of his stuff, but not this song.

Without further explanation;

"I am I said"
Kneel Diamond

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is 'lay back'
Palm trees grow, and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back

Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home, but it ain't mine no more

"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
I you talk about me, the story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried, but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being alone

"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still​

I'm not sure I've ever heard the song, but some of the lyrics are pretty damn good.

Your Song - Elton John

It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
Don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor
Ha
But then again no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

Neil is alright in a Glen Campbell sort of way. Pop music before it became overproduced shit.

Not even close.

Someone left the cake out in the rain.
And I don’t know if I can take it,
‘Cause it took so long to bake it,
And I’ll never have that recipe again.

songs are not my livelihood, software is

But in a creative vein, I made this over the weekend.
