A good way to judge the strength of a song is whether the lyrics make sense logically or worldview-wise, without the music.
It doesn't always work that way, since a lot of 50s/60s music was silliness but still great music. (Early Beatles, anyone?) But I still find it valuable to do.
(And which is why I love Keane, since they have songs that actually SAY something worthwhile. Shocking!)
