*pedantic curmudgeon mode*

I was just reading and came on "No Expectations"....I'm sorry, brucie,but that strikes me as pretty weak, shallow poetry. It may hit harder when 'done' musically, as many lyrics do..(I have not heard it)..but compared to some of the better lyrics I can think of, it just doesn't say much....partly because it doesn't 'fill in' the story, and only paints several short 'feely' images that have been said a million times in other songs.

I know, it all depends on when it hits you, etc...I guess I was born 30 years too soon...*grin*
