I sort of go along with that David.
Only thing is, I look at it more as to how well the lyric works phonetically. How it fits and/or makes the melody, rather than wht the words actually say.
Now I now I stand a good chance of being banned for life from the Lyricist's Of The World Federation for saying that, but the fact remains I rarely know what the lyrics of any song are unless I read them. But if I hear one line that clangs with the music, youbet I will know what that line says, and why it shouldn't.
