I generally buy my music as much for the sound as for the lyrics, if
not moreso (I mean Rush has interesting lyrics, but their sound has
gotten SO boring), and my own opinion is that "interesting" is a
masterpiece of understatement.

I may be about to get myself in deep doo doo in this newsgroup, but...
I think that "Troy" (by far my favorite Sinead song) has lyrics
equalling if not surpassing those of some songs on a debut album by
someone oft adulated in this group....(i.e. Kate) Perhaps there are
songs that fall lyrically below Anything Kate Has Done, but then I
think of "Wow!" and wonder if someone has been spiking your punch....

	  "Troy", I nearly puke when Sinead sings, "I kill the Dragon
	  for you".  But it's only one moment of pain in four minutes
	  of pleasure, so it doesn't matter too much.  -- |>oug ]
