I would have to say from the Masterplan
"Sail them home with acquiesce"
WTF? Did he even think about this stupid line? Acquiesce is a fucking verb, you can't do something 'with' a verb, that's ridiculous. Great song though, but I just wish he'd change this stupid line.

I've never known in what context you use the word acquiesce! Definition - 'to assent tacitly; submit or comply silently or without protest; agree'... I acquiesce/agree with you. Does that make sense?!
Anyway, the line I hate the most is - 'Cos you see me I got my magic pie'.. the one moment of Be Here Now I can't stand!

a lot of lines in music don't make grammatical sense but are still amazing.. like "tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon." one of the best lines in morning glory doesn't technically make sense but is still fucking brilliant. so i have to say youre wrong about that line in the masterplan.
one of the worst ones is "your shit jokes remind me of digsys" .. hilarious line but just doesnt fit with the song.

The Tomorrow Never Knows line makes grammatical sense, it just doesn't make any 'real' sense.
As for acquiesce, one acquiesces, however you would be more likely to sail home with 'acquiescence'.

I think it means to do something without complaining...or similar.
I'd like to be, under the sea...but I'd probably need a phone

To acquiesce, is like, to let something go ahead, like, say, a decision, without voicing an opinion. A tacit response, if you will. To just go along with what someone else says. But you 'do' a verb, you don't do something 'with' a verb. That would be like saying 'sail them home with make' or 'sail them home with attract'.

A common use of the word acquiesce would be "John told Tom to open the door. Tom acquiesced." That's how I've always seen it used. Apparently Noel came up with the word after he heard it while watching the O.J. Simpson trial on TV - if memory serves.
Regarding lyrics, how about Magic Pie as a whole? LOL I personally like the song but it is total non-sense

What are you plonkers on about? Little by Little is a great song.
Stop turning a blind eye to the obvious poor lyrics: "I can see a liar, sitting by the fire", "Put yer money were your mouth is", etc.....those songs make Little by Little look like a masterpiece. Please, lets put this in context.

At least we're not picking on Supersonic which has much more weirder lines that Some Might Say.

Some Might Say and Supersonic are two of my favorite tunes, but neither of them have good lyrics.
A couple other terrible lyrics:
And now that I feel godlike
There's nothing that can't be kissed
I wanna piece of the world and everyone inside my mouth
