Thoughts? My nomination would go to Good Advices by REM. It's got amazing lyrics, but they are trapped in what may very well be their worst song until you get to some of the tracks on Up.
Good Advices
When you greet a stranger look at his shoes
Keep your money in your shoes put your trouble behind
When you greet a stranger look at her hands
Keep your money in your hands put your travel behind
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say?
Keep your hat on your head home is a long way away
At the end of the day, I'll forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away
When you greet a stranger, look at his shoes
Keep you memories in your shoes, put your travel behind
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say?
Keep your hat on your head. Home is a long way away.
At the end of the day, when there are no friends
When there are no lovers, who are you going to call for?
What do you have to change?
A familiar face a foreign place I'll forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away.
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say?
Keep your hat on your head. Home is a long way away.

(All these...)
I got bugs
I got bugs in my room
Bugs in my bed
Bugs in my ears
Their eggs in my head
Bugs in my pockets
Bugs in my shoes
Bugs in the way, I feel about you
Bugs on my window
Trying to get in
They don't go nowhere
Waiting, waiting...
Bugs on my ceiling
Crowded the floor
Standing, sitting, kneeling...
A few block the door
And now the question's:
Do I kill them?
Become their friend?
Do I eat them?
Raw or well done?
Do I trick them?
I don't think they're that dumb
Do I join them?
Looks like that's the one
I got bugs on my skin
Tickle my nausea
I let it happen again
They're always takin' over
I see they surround me, I see...
See them deciding my fate
Oh, that which was once...was once up to me...
Now it's too late
I got bugs in my room...one on one
That's when I had a chance
I'll just stop now
I'll become naked
And with them...I'll become one

It could be a cool poem, but, this song man......especially in the middle of an album with so many amazing songs.
