"Oh, I don't think there are really any grammatical rules for writing lyrics."
I think there are, or should be, in cases where we would expect that the character singing the lyrics in question (if the song is from a show) would/should express himself/herself/themself according to rules of correct grammar and usage, but of course, not in other cases -- to cite only one example among a great many, Tony's songs in THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. |
