I get irritated over the sheer laziness of most songwriters. They match up words that barely share a vowel, let alone actually rhyme. It doesn’t all have to be moon, spoon, June, but pact does not rhyme with back, and telephone does not rhyme with not at home. The likes of true lyricists such as Porter and Gershwin probably won’t be seen again, although Sting comes very close. Apprentice paired with Charybdis I can live with. Rant over.
