sooooo... on the other hand, who do you think is among the best and brightest lyricists?
Surely Andy Partridge is right up there (if you can excuse Melt the Guns lol).... his wit and wisdom are best on display on almost any album from Drums and Wires forward....

This one gets my vote for most hopelessly inane lyric:
If we explode the atom bomb,
Would they say that we were dumb?
Courtesy of der Stinglehoffer. Unlike Neil's inane lyric, this one doesn't even rhyme.
