Argue With Me, I Dare You

Paul McCartney is a LOUSY lyricist! Billy Joel is infinitely more talented.

Paul McCartney:
"Everybody gonna dance tonight, Everybody gonna feel alright, Everybody gonna dance around tonight."

Billy Joel:
" All the servants in your new hotel, Throw their roses at your feet, Fool them all but baby I can tell, You're no stranger to the street."

You want another example?

I give you, Wings:
"Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun,
And the first one said to the second one there I hope youre having fun.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam were searching every one

For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run"

Ummmmm... what?

Billy Joel:
"We met as soul mates, On parris island, We left as inmates, From an asylum,
And we were sharp, As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho, To lay down our lives
We came in spastic, Like tameless horses, We left in plastic, As numbered corpses."

John Lennon was the brains behind The Beatles.
