Simple Lyricism

Cross reference this with that Bon Iver thread, there's a line in that song that's just so simple and brilliant.
That secret that you know, But don't know how to tell
It fucks with your honor, And it teases your head
But you know that it's good girl, Because it's running you with red
But really I wanted to make this thread cause I been thinking about the majesty of the very simple lyrics in Joe Jackson Stepping Out. Like I thought about this shit over and over, and then my man played it at the club last night and me and my other dude like we both went like boing at the same time. Like every time I hear these my head explodes a little bit.
You, can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
We'll be there in just a while
I know context is everything, but both these. Man... And yeah, so the SIMPLE joints which are just so powerful.
