The Animals', "House Of The Rising Sun"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
With one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Why They're Nonsensical:
It is clear from the general context in the song that the singer is not in New Orleans already. And clearly he wouldn't get very far toward New Orleans with one foot on the platform and the other foot on the train (whether the train is moving towards New Orleans or not)!

The Animals', "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
We gotta get out of this place,
If it's the last thing we ever do.
We gotta get out of this place.
Girl, there's a better life for me and you.
If it's the last thing we ever do.
We gotta get out of this place.
Girl, there's a better life for me and you.
Why They're Nonsensical:
How will there be a better life in the event that that part about "if it's the last thing we ever do" applies?
