Songs with words you don't understand?

I'm pretty sure the language Billy is speaking in most of the song is Stoneze

I always have to read the lyrics for anything Elton John sings, he can really mangle the language in spots.
 
A lot of the lyrics in R.E.M.'s early stuff are pretty difficult to decipher. I remember reading a Michael Stipe interview and he had wanted to name one of their albums Return of the Mumbles. He also stated that for some of their songs he wasn't really too concerned about the lyrics - it was more about "voice as instrument."

The last few verses of Yes' Siberian Khatru puzzled me at first.

".......Outboard, river.

Bluetail, tailfly,
Luther, in time,
Suntower, asking,
Cover, lover,
June cast, moon fast,
As one changes,
Heart gold, leaver,
Soul mark, mover,
Christian, changer,
Called out, saviour,
Moon gate, climber,
Turn round, glider.
"



None of that makes sense to me. It's just random words, but Jon Anderson (lead singer) explained in a Yes doc I once saw that there is no real meaning to the remaining lyrics, but the emphasis was on the phonetics of the words themselves. That much I know, so it's funny when people try to find real meaning to that last section.


I still don't get the overall meaning of the song except, that maybe every thing in life goes through some motion or season like the lyric "even Siberia goes through the motions". Maybe that's what the whole song talks about is how there's a cycle of a beginning and an end to everything. Who knows? It's still a kick ass song for me.
 
This one has to rank up there.
