Sometimes I wish I could instantly vanish whenever a musician sits down to write a song and thinks it would be a good idea to rhyme “fire” with “desire.” Then I would appear behind that musician, slap him on the back of the head, and disappear again in a puff of smoke--leaving the artist to realize that maybe a second draft is in order.

Morrison’s totally cool then.
Girl, we couldn’t get much higher
aw man! now i have that bruce springsteen song stuck in my head. tell me now baby is he good to you...
Morrison didn’t actually write that one. But the song gets a pass anyway because of the cool keyboard digressions and SEXZ-see bass line.
Except for Merle Kilgore and June Carter. They get a pass, because they did it best.
I highly recommend that you find a used copy of the out-of-print Sammy Cahn Rhyming Dictionary. Hours of rhyming fun.
Since I always scream it like ‘Fie-Yah!’ I’m sure you don’t mind me rhyming it with ‘Re-Quie-Yah’!
“Abra abra cadabra. I wanna reach out and grab ya.”
Just kill me now.
I would also like said powers to scream “DYER” over whatever word the artist was singing. Hopefully, it would evolve into a gorilla marketing campaign that would make me so kick ass famous that I’d eventually RETIRE.
I’ll send royalties along to you as the originator of said idea if said powers ever develop.
That’s how I feel about rhyming “girl” with “world”. If someone said to me that I was his world, I’d hit the highway before Joey, Jordan, Donnie and Jonathan could stop singing.
Room was on FIRE, no one could save me but you… Strange what DESIRE will make foolish people do.
(or something like.)
I TOLD YOU… YEARS AGO… that he was a doof. HA! I win again!
