Okay, I said to post good lyrics, and you posted repetative, cheesy, crap ones. Good job.
Allow me to post lyrics from one of these "New Crap Bands" that completely blows Zeppelin out of the water.

Nothing's so lucid as the promise of dreams, but these pills we found just make me sleep. There's nothing quite so pure as the written word my dear, so lets have ourselves a little poem. Until the will to speak loses urgency. Our animal indecency in print is so blase. Its about the bell tower, at the golden hour. Angel of the spires climbs her steel cage staircase spine, angle of desire. Ascend the wrought iron, one by one, wrung by wrung. Is it the rising roofline that makes me feel so swallowed whole, or the way my body barely pricks the sky, the same as a century's worth of virgin's blood that's passed through my longing veins, scheming to convince my aching mind that pleasure's got nothing on the miracle of need. Nothing's so purile as meter and rhyme when you can't see the ground from that ledge and this perch is so far, far from the nest. Gravity doesn't grant me the privlege of failure. my bough never breaks, I don't stumble into anything. so I climb and I carve my initials in the bark with that feather I found, but its all so contrived. My genes didn't bless me with the foresight of a sage but I know how this will end, in apoligies and ink on the page. A slowly constructed crowquilled confession of my spirit to all of you, black waterproof ink scars the board, so hot-pressed, pristine and pure. A slowly constructed manifestation of "to tremble", as base as a bridge in a song and less like the poem that I promised you. Nothing's so lurid as haiku-detat on sidewalks in white outlined chalk, all I've got are these ink smeared lines. With our voices in harmony, the offering, of a crowquilled threnody.
