The 20 Worst Lyrics Ever: No. 13
- Posted by Spinner
"There were plants
And birds
And rocks
And things"
Like in New York, nouns are scarce in the desert, and apparently our poor soft rockers simply ran out of them. Too bad they didn't consult Michael Stipe: "There were plants and birds and rocks and prouds."

Really? That's the line from 'A horse with no name' you go for? Not "The heat was hot but the air was full of sound," surely the stupidest lyric ever recorded?

This is such a beautiful song (one of my favourites) but even i admit this lyric is downright poor.

This song deserves double credit for another line that informs us "The heat was hot"

if you take a few lines out of a song, they may sound odd, picking this song make me realize who ever came up with this list most likely very limitted when it comes to music.

Whoever wrote this list has got no musical taste, poetic understanding and all he or she can do is criticise something they don't understand. Try getting your facts right when you decide that you want to do music journalism. Maybe you can be adventurous for the first time and get a life. Actually I think you should be fired for being a dumbass. No, cancel that...you should just quit so your boss doesn't have to deal with a cretin like you. Don't ever try to write anything else again...you suck, I'm out, piss off...never coming back here

Okay, so the desert song was about an ocean liner? Or was it about a giant dessert? I'm confused. But the horse did not have a name, that much is true.
