I like the first passage you quoted. Those lyrics are very "Yoshimi"-esque -- they have that same weird mix of existentialism and childlike emotion. I won't say they read like poetry on the page but no doubt they're genuine -- and observant, in their own weird way.
Not sure why but the second passage gives me a mental image of Glenn Danzig onstage at the Sands singing crooner ballads. Not a path I care to follow.

I find it's best not to talk about lyrics that move you on RM. It can only end in... well, Burt. And that goddamn gif.

You're a wise man, Joey.

We should have a "lyrics that move you" thread. I've always hated the "lyrics don't matter" attitude so prevalent on this board.

We actually do already have a lyrics thread that like no one posts in. Probably because of Burt and zeb.

Jorge used to ridicule the fuck out of my posts about my favorite lyrics.

Down by the Riverside motel,
it's 10 below and falling
by a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
and started swaying
but it's so hard to dance that way
when it's cold and there's no music
well your old hometown is so far away
but, inside your head there's a record
that's playing, a song called
RIP Strat

If you don't want me to mock you, have better taste in lyrics.
