Alan Parsons Projectile vomit lyrics.

I grew up enjoying the APP. They were at best, an ok pop band. Considering that Alan Parsons won a grammy for engineering Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", he occasionally proves to be second to ripping off Pink Floyd. The first place winner for ripping off Floyd goes to Queensryche.

But one thing about APP always bothered me. (Well, mostly one thing.) Their lyrics. They consisted of ramblings and free association. Granted, they rhymed and matched the music. Their earlier albums, "Tales of Mystery" and "I, Robot" didn't have that issue because, lyrically, they were written by Edgar Allen Poe and Issac Asimov.

But then off their "Eye in the Sky" Album, they had an aptly named song called "Pychobabble."

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you evidence item # 1

Psychobabble

Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
Tell you 'bout a Dream that I have every night
It ain't kodachrome and it isn't black and white
Take me for a fool if you feel that's right
Well I'm Never on my own but there's nobody in sight
I don't know if I'm scared of the Lightning
Trying to reach me
I can't turn to the left or the right
I'm too scared to run and I'm too weak to fight
But I don't Care it's all psychobabble rap to me
Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
It's in dolby stereo but I never hear it right
Take me for a fool well that's alright
Well I see the way to go But there isn't any light
I don't know why I'm scared of the lightning
Trying to reach me
Help me to find what I don't wanna know
You're taking me There but I don't wanna go
I don't care it's all Psychobabble rap to me
Psychobabble all psychobabble
Psychobabble all psychobabble
I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me
You're readin' my mind you won't look in my eyes
You say I do things that I don't Realise
But I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me
Psychobabble all psychobabble
Psychobabble all psychobabble
You're lighting a scene that's faded to black
I threw it away cause I don't want it back
But I don't care it's all psychbabble rap
One would argue that its unfair to judge lyrical pychobabble based on one song. True, but the entire album is like this. Loony brits..
