That's not nearly as bad as "I am a kiosk in the temporal lobe of Rosalyn Carter", which is one of the dumbest things anybody has ever said. It also pisses me off when he mispronounces sepulcher. I absolutely cannot believe nobody said anything to him about that before the album was pressed.
I've always hated "I'm so far out I'm too far in" on Lighthouse Keepers and "fishes can't fly, neither can I" on Killer. Also, Childlike Faith in Childhood's End is a bit silly. Peter Hammill is a pretty good lyricist, but he really bombed on a couple of them.

Gah. I forgot about that monstrosity. Heap on some Braille liquor and some Toltec bones, and we have the undisputed masters of terrible prog rock lyricism. |

Give that "Lavender blue" is originally a 17th Century children's song, those lyrics fit perfectly with the concept. Some lyrics I dislike: "Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer" (Pink Floyd - Dogs) "Naminanu, naminanu, naminanu, naminanu..." (Genesis - Naminanu. Makes "Whodunnit?" almost seem like a work of genius.) "Focus yourself on the love you own mankind. Communication again" (Focus - Focus (Vocal). No wonder they became an instrumental band).

HEY! I actually like those lyrics! They were like, very significant for me when I first heard them. Mind you, I was twelve and english is my second language, but even so. Lumping them with Jon Andersons gibberish and Love Beach's offensively stupid content is very unfair to poor mr Fish.

Zappa probably takes the cake: "Give me your dirty love like a pink donation to the dragon in your dreams" "No one could ever understand our bizarre relationship because that was your intellectual frigid housekeeper" "The cheese I have for you, my dear is real and very new" et cetera... |

Oh, but what about the Focus song "I Need a Bathroom", from Mother Focus; all allong the song it just repeats that very line. I seriously can't think of something worse. By the way, even though I do like Dream Theater's "Black Clouds and Silver Linings", they got some really terribles lines in "A Nightmare to Remember" and "Count of Tuscany" (which are, by the way, my favourite songs from the album). |

Hey, but elsewhere in the same song it says something like "I'm going up, going up like a Monkey", which is by far worse. What the hell were they thinking about. (I won't ask the same about Focus's song, because I think it was very obvious what they were thinking about). |

Really? You pick that over the plethora of atrocious lyrics present on the Fear Of A Blank Planet album?
