I wouldn't put it that way at all. Enterprise was torn between OUR past - 9/11 in particular - and Star Trek's future, which it was forced to embrace on occasion against the apparent will of its writers.

Better, but still too familiar. It's a spot in the lyric where most song-writers would instinctively put something non-bathe-in-able, like "love," but a person going for shock (or going for an environmental message, perhaps) would put something like zebra flesh, if not quite so gory-seeming.

More a failed/lazy rhyme than weird, I'd say.

Well, I mean, that's not even remotely weird.

Too twee, like a TMBG lyric. Too purposefully whimsical.

This one should have been a contender.

Nah, too similar to a kid jump-rope ditty or something. Makes perfect sense, it's just kinda funny because of the juxtaposition of Mother Teresa and the mob.

I like the idea, but I dunno, I think those lines have just slightly odd phrasings. They're not really so weird that you can't easily understand what he's saying, generally. Ziggy sings well, his eyes and hair are notable features, and he makes an impression, but a strange and perhaps animalistic one, probably not

Nah, paints a good picture of takeout and TV.

"Thinking straight into the sun where at its core the onion one
Wants you to know there's never none, there's no need for alarm.
Where millions, billions, zillions wait, proliferate their blissful state
To welcome your arrival date, the day that you buy the farm fresh onions."

Not weird by song standards, IMO.

The fact that that would be not at all weird (for a song) makes this a bad choice, IMO. A lot of the others in the top 10 are bad choices, too, though.

Not at all weird.

Not weird.

Weird.

Pretty weird.

Not really weird, reads like a normal elegy for Bruce except for the reference to Synanon.

"A blah song on a concept album is more than just a blah song—it’s a personality trait, a quirk, an exception proving some kind of mysterious rule. (Which is why I always listen to “Within You Without You” when I listen to Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.)"

Ah, I see that now. "Like other Walking Dead watchers, I have long had a proclivity to apocalyptic stories."

"Like everyone else who ever watched The Walking Dead or read Y: The Last Man, I too used to daydream about my apocalypse plan."
