You know, the one that contains such profundities as: "Why don't you choose it Try not to bruise it Buy time don't lose it..." The lyrics to most of their other tunes ("Hungry Like The Wolf", "Rio", "Is There Something I Should Know?") are equally bad. I don't think I've ever seen a group whose lyrics are so consistently moronic. It's almost as if they pick words at random out of the dictionary and group them loosely into partial English sentences. -- Mark Vita Dartmouth College USENET: {decvax,cornell,linus,astrovax}!dartvax!markv ARPA: markv%dartmouth@csnet-relay CSNET: markv@dartmouth
