I think it is fairly obvious that lyrics do not have to make sense for the song to be a hit but in my humble opinion debating whether they should make sense or not is like debating whether pink is a nicer colour than blue. Generally speaking, I have a personal preference for lyrics that do make sense but I have a number of favourites where the lyrics don't make any real sense to me. Usually when a song does appeal to me that I cannot make out the lyrics to or the lyrics don't make sense to me it will be because the song somehow reminds me of a beautifully made sculpture. Somehow the song has come together with so much texture, musical story and perhaps emotional impact that I tend to want to stand back and marvel at it rather than understand it.
