Sting's, "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: If you wanna keep something precious, gotta lock it up and throw away the key
Why They're Nonsensical: If you lock something precious up and throw away the key - how will you get it unlocked when you want to access it? Who would choose to throw away the key? Most people would just keep the key out of reach away from others where no one can find or access it. Some people lock up items in a safe with a combination lock that doesn't even have a key. If you lock something up in a safe deposit box at your bank and then you lose (or clumsily throw away as he is saying) the key - your bank will charge you a HUGE fee to get the lock drilled out and replaced!

James Taylor's, "Fire And Rain"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Why They're Nonsensical: Usually when somebody says they thought something "would never end," it refers to something unpleasant. As in, "my professor's lecture was really boring today. I thought it would never end." Only James Taylor uses the expression to refer to something pleasant. Why would you be in a hurry for a sunny day to end?
