>I feel lost in the city

Honestly if you need help finding a song that has lyrics literally telling a story or describing a thing, you must exclusively listen to some weird shit

I am the walrus

frog eyes

One two three four five

SUCKIN ON MY DING DONG

I don't need help finding any old song that has lyrics literally telling a story or describing a thing, I need help finding a YES song that has lyrics literally telling a story or describing a thing, because Yes lyrics are incoherent word salad shit.
And that is why Genesis is and will always be the better prog band.

>now if i fuck this model

>Schindleria Praematurus
>Schindleria Praematurus
>Schindleria Praematurus

No, I haven't listened to ITAOTS because I'm not a tasteless turbopleb.

>I get up
>I get down

The bigger question here is if lyrics can be separated from their musical context. I say no way.

These are unironically my favorite Yes lyrics because they don't even pretend to make sense like the other nonsensical Yes lyrics. The vocals are just another instrument.
Makes sense that they were written by Chris Squire, since Jon Anderson couldn't write good lyrics to save his life.

>on the hills we viewed the silence of the valley
>called to witness cycles only of the past
>and we reached all this with movements in between the said remarks

They can, but it has to work the other way around.
If you have a good poem, it might make a good song.

>Move yourself, you always live your life never thinking about the future, prove yourself, you are the move you make, take your chances win or lose it.
>OWNER OF A LONELY HEART
>much better than a
>OWNER A BROKEN HEART
