Although Morrison is known as the lyricist, this is in fact a misnomer, and Morrison himself was always at pains to point out the significant contributions made by Robby Krieger, who wrote or co-wrote some of the group's biggest hits, including "Light My Fire" and "Touch Me."
wishful sinful (another favorite of mine) was also written by krieger. morrison's main contribution to the band was his vocals and his charisma and his rebel ways. poetry? not. good songs? yes.
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
