But I stand by my total disinterest in lyrics. I dont read poetry either.
Great lyrics stand out like skyscrapers.
A few of my favorite lyric sets ...
MacArthur Park
Gentle on My Mind — Glenn Campbell
Deep Purple -— Nino Temple and April Stevens
Stardust
Nino and April-THAT was intellectual love.MacArthur Park lost me when the cake was left out in the rain.

If you are totally disinterested in them, what makes you think we would care?
MacArthur Park
+++++
OK. You got me on that one. I still remember hearing that song for the first and trying to figure out who the singer was. I finally did, of course, but not during that drive to Palm Springs.
And yes, the lyrics were worth listening to.
Gentle On My Mind was written by John Hartford (RIP), the father of newgrass.
