erikjjf There are some great lines on ABB, but some really lame ones as well.
One that I do like is from Let Me Down Slow and has a nice ring to it:
"there's a swish in your step...there's a gleam in your eye"

speedfreakjive How can you not think that "the moon is yellow, I'm like a jello, starin' down your tits" ain't a classic lyric?

Because when they seem like nursery rhymes, they sound as if he's not even trying; he's just filling space. The title Oh No Not You Again sounds like effortless Jagger brilliance. You get both the Stonesian snarl and well has the straightforward, self-referencing humor that deflates the snarl--and of course the PC was the perfect place to introduce the song. On the other hand, for me, the "moon is yellow" is a silly send up of 20s tin pan alley mawkishness that doesn't even rise to the level of the alley. Of course, to each his own. If you love the lyric, by all means: enjoy!

The strange thing is that for just about each song there seems to be Jaggerian heights, but also the lame stuff.

Rough Justice
The Good: the opening rooster, cocks line; the lips/hips/mind line
The roll-your-eyes: bat out of hell. Meatloaf used this cliche 25 years ago. It's not time for a revival

Let Me Down Real Slow
The Good: one of the best lines in the album--Let me strech out in the afterglow
The yawn: I've got my back to the wall--this line belongs in a song to one of his solo videos from the 80s, with a picture of his back to the you know . . .

Etc.

Some themes emerge in the lyrics. They mention smart women, but in one case "too smart" and another "awful smart". They also refer to acting: the "re-written my lines" quoted by someone else above (Infamy) and "actor looking for a part" (LIND). But more than anything else, the lyrics seems playful, as if they had genuine fun writing them, rather than trying to write "classics" or to concoct something that met the expectations of "what the Stones would write about".
