Personally, I liked those lyrics

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

Me too... I thought it was clever when I first heard it.

I agree. In a song about questioning ones sanity, i think the lyrics are quite well suited.

Not that I didn't love Bauhaus but...

Honeymoon croon tonight
Sew my socks tonight
I say whose on the rare tonight
Lurking lipstick tickle fickle
Marylin's on
Send her by air mail, PAR AVION
Certificate X tacy in my head
Hire out Sybil Vane for my bed
Croon croon tonight
Honeymoon tonight
Sew my sock tonight - tonight
She insists on tying down
After the soldier sailor curfew
All alone in the cathedral bar
She preys in dockland
He asks to see her hidden side
She, the color of his money
Honeymoon croon tonight

Marylin fading fast better get straight
The catch from the sidewalk is in a state
The sound of footstep - mummy's here
I'll be a good boy I'll never fear
Better fix her drink tonight bed time's come
Must blot out this urge to use my gun

My vote for dumbest lyrics goes to the one that I can't even spell. (I thought it was Red Box or Timbuk3, but not so sure.)

Something like "Doe Bohpe Bohpe ... Chkh - Chkh - Chk'Tkaaahhh."

Look at them fall
flicker and fade gone are the screams
And we go, Doot...Doot-doot

Maybe it's time to bring on some Toyah lyrics?
But I do think the lyrics on The Hurting are pretty good, except for Pale Shelter...

"The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had" is epic godliness.

"I take pictures, photographic pictures" -- I think he's talking about PORNOGRAPHIC pictures, but you know, Vince Clark, being the c-blocker that he is...

I think Duran Duran went out of their way to be loopy. My favorite: "Shake up the picture, the lizard mixture" from "New Moon On Monday." Simon doesn't write 'em like he used to...

My entry: "You're too shy, shy, hush, hush, eye to eye." But it's so damn catchy!

I guess that's what makes them dumb. :)
