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?

James Taylor's, "Fire And Rain"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line
to talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines
in pieces on the ground
to talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines
in pieces on the ground
Why They're Nonsensical:
That sounds like a very boring conversation. If I were on the other line, I'd hang up. Why does that have to take for hours?

James Taylor's, "Handy Man"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Comma comma comma comma com-com.
Yeah...yeah, yeah.
Yeah...yeah, yeah.
Why They're Nonsensical:
He repeats these lines over and over during the end of the song. Why?? What do they mean?? Did he just decide to use a random filler or something?

James Taylor's, "Shower the People"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
When you're all by yourself alone
Why They're Nonsensical:
Can you be all by yourself together? (This line is a tautology - a phrase from the department of redundancy department!)
