Title: The music and the words ...
Review: I'm a history buff and 25 years ago I brought these lyrics to my mentor (I was a new teacher) and read them to him. He listened patiently and then smiled and asked if I was nuts. He thought the words banal at best. This was my introduction to the truth that the poetry of lyrics can't in toto be reduced to print. (Try Leonard Cohen's "Ten New Songs" without his voice and pacing.) This album still sounds brilliant to me after quarter of a century, which for me makes it part of history, lyrical history.
