And "A Day in the Life" is only interesting because of the change in musical styles (see "Bohemian Rhapsody" for an excellent use of this), but the poetry is stilted. Hotel California has plays on words: "Tiffany twisted", "Mercedes bends". It has metaphors: Dancing, voices, dinners. It has a better vocabulary: "shimmering", "corridor". The Beatles would have had to work around "shiny" and "hallway".

As a third rate, hack, amateur poet, I must respectfully disagree.
The flow of the lyrics is superb, like pouring water from a jar. It is pleasing to hear as well as read. It is anything but stilted, and certainly not forced.
It's actually quite good.
