Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"Letter from America"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Lochaber no more,
Sutherland no more, Lewis no more, Skye no more. (later) Bathgate no more, Linwood no more, Methil no more, Irvine no more. Why They're Repetitive: Repeating "[place] no more", 3 times each.

| "I'm Gonna Be (1,000 Miles)"
The Repetitive Lyrics: I would walk 500 miles
and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles to get right at your door. Why They're Repetitive: I think we get the idea that the boys in this group would do just about anything to get the girl that they love. There's no need to repeat it 20 times.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: And if I haver,
I'm gonna be the man who's havering next to you. Why They're Nonsensical: This might seem nonsensical to many people, since 'haver' (pronounced with a long 'A' sound) is not too common a word. But it is a scottish word that means to talk foolishly (which makes perfect sense since this band is from Scotland), especially about nonsense. So maybe it is a bit nonsensical.

| "Letter from America"
The Lyrics: When you go will you send back
A letter from America? Take a look up the railtrack From Miami to Canada [...] The way you felt the day you sailed From Wester ross to Nova Scotia [...] Lochaber no more Sutherland no more Lewis no more Skye no more [...] Bathgate no more Linwood no more Methil no more Irvine no more Why: America, Miami, Canada and Nova Scotia, and the Scottish places of Lochaber, Sutherland, Lewis, (the Isle of) Skye, Bathgate, Linwood, Methil and Irvine. The song is about Scottish emigrants to the North America.
