Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Am I Right?"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: The rain comes rushing down
To resolve your love for this man in his 20s Why They're Nonsensical: I think this whole (gibberish) song is a prime example of why Erasure should stick to hi-nrg synth pop rather than trying to do 'wistful' ballads.

The Nonsensical Lyrics: Look at all the lonely people walking miles around the town
I can see the old cathedral but I had to play it down Why They're Nonsensical: Play what down? The cathedral? How exactly do you 'play down' a cathedral? It's just in there to make it rhyme, isn't it? I'll let them off though, for inspiring such a wonderful website!
