About the lyrics, don't brother. Besides the fact that the music and vocals give a more accurate measure of his talent, Hancock usually doesn't write his lyrics anyway. The most flagrant example of horrid lyrics comes through all too plainly in "Tell Everybody."

They pretend they are in Brooklyn while they are, in fact, cavorting on a miserably constructed set in Los Angeles. A mindless and seemingly endless chase scene concluded this monstrosity, which, incidentally, received the perfectly respectable rating of 15.6 and 23 per cent of the audience...
