Sting's, "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
If you wanna keep something precious, gotta lock it up and throw away the key
Why They're Nonsensical:
If you lock something precious up and throw away the key - how will you get it unlocked when you want to access it? Who would choose to throw away the key? Most people would just keep the key out of reach away from others where no one can find or access it. Some people lock up items in a safe with a combination lock that doesn't even have a key. If you lock something up in a safe deposit box at your bank and then you lose (or clumsily throw away as he is saying) the key - your bank will charge you a HUGE fee to get the lock drilled out and replaced!

Sting's, "We'll Be Together"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Forget the weather, we should always be together. Any other thought is unkind.
Why They're Nonsensical:
What on earth does what the weather is have to do with whether or not you're together with someone?! Sounds pretty silly to me.
