"I'm talkin' about love your neighbor 'til it hurts! I'm talkin' about grab your friend! I'm talkin' about some love, I'm talkin' about some love, I'm talking about some love, I'm talkin' about love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love! Grab your (expletive) friend and love him! Come on! Yeah!"

I loved the Doors, but Morris' "genius" was just a bit overrated. Krieger wrote the lyrics to most of their hits, if I recall.

Morrison hated “Light My Fire”.

Four songs.
Light My Fire, Touch Me, Love Her Madly and Love Me Two Times.

The “pop hit” tunes.

Of the four, only Light My Fire is good.
The rest could’ve just as easily been sung by the Osmonds.

Morrison wrote all the brilliant stuff that is appreciated by those who know his lyrical influences, William Blake, for one.
