The chorus on Asia's "One Step Closer":

"One step closer, much closer than before".

Ok, so if you take one step...and you find yourself MUCH closer to something, then it's safe to say that you weren't really very far away from it to begin with. Not that it's not worth singing about...but I mean, you'd figure that it would be a worthwhile accomplishment if you had to take many steps to get much closer...

ANYway...

Genesis (too many to list, but this one in particular). From "Match of the Day" off Spot the Pigeon:

"each side’s eleven men with numbers on their backs... there’s the reds and there’s the greens, they’re accompanied by three men dressed in black."

Thanks for the eloquent description of a soccer match!

One of those two, not that most of the rest of Yes lyrics are good but this ones are bad and cheesy.

Dinosaur by King Crimson good song but I can't listen to it because of the poor lyrics.

      I think The Whistler's onto something; just about every Moody Blues album in the 60's and 70's has a GAWD-AWFUL spoken-word section (thanks to Graeme Edge, mostly) that makes me thank the inventor of the "skip" function.......Thumbs Down

'Hard luck mouse this is the end of your road. The signpost inside me, let me bear your heavy load'

'I need a shower, have a nap. I'll meet you in the bar, must have a rap'

Thanks for that Genesis!

'The Season of the button' Marillion. I dunno, sounds kinda crap to me..
