 Well, those previously cited Morrisonian lyrics might be considered bad
in grammar and structure, but I know many more that are much worse. Has
anyone out there ever listened to the "An American Prayer" album?
Here goes...
               
             Taxis from Africa,
             the Grand Hotel
             There was a party last night
             He was drunk
             Back,going back in all directions
             Sleeping these insane hours...
             I'll never wake up in a good mood again!
             I'm sick of these stinky boots....

or for a change of pace,
       
            This other kingdom seems by far the best
            Until its ugly jaw reveals incest and
            Loose obedience to a vegetable law.
            I will not go.
            I prefer a feast of friends to the giant family.

or even worse, the entire "Lament", which I would be embarassed to
quote from...

 Even though these are shining examples of bad lyrics, I am still heavily
into Jim Morrison and the Doors, as I have been for many years. Just because
it's bad doesn't mean it's not enjoyable...

This is the end...
