There's tons of examples but off the top of my head the one that always puzzled me the most is gate and garden: "you know nothing about what?" But I enjoy just going with it, and in her own words, it does sound great. |
I wouldn't change a thing about her lyrics. "Throw Down"--the song lyrics that led to the notorious Bob Dylan argument--is perfect the way it is. It does everything this critic is saying her songs do, but the sudden ungrammatical shifts and unconventional structure actually enhances the experience of the song.
