There are timeless classic lyrics like basically everything Bob Dylan ever wrote. Then there are lyrics that were f***in' awesome at the time and seemed to be a great idea, but in hindsight didn't age too too well.
Post your favourite text passages in this thread. To give you an idea what I mean, I'll start with two examples:
--------------------------------
T.N.T. - AC/DC
"See me ride out of the sunset
On your color TV screen"
The kids today might wonder what a non-color TV screen is supposed to be and what sense it would make to emphasize that a TV has colors. On a similar note: everything containing the term "flatscreen TV" is equally irritating for the current generation.
------------------------------------
My Generation - The Who
"I hope I die before I get old"
Would love to see Pete Townshend singing that song today at the age of 71. Would be a hell of a comedic situation.
