Now I'm even more impressed with her...;-)

YES!

I'd already started working on transcribing bunches of the songs anyway.

I don't know how we'd want to coordinate something like this--I'm sure the
mailing-list part of Love-Hounds doesn't want to see billions of copies
half-completed Happy lyrics showing up in their mailboxes.  I'm willing to
try coordinating an effort...something along the lines of I'd keep a list
of people willing to work on lyrics.  As I work on or receive copies of
lyrics from people, I can mail them out to those on the list.  People can
then send me corrections/suggestions.  After a few days of nothing new, I
can send out our "final" version.

Anyone willing to help on this?

I've currently got partial lyrics to:  "Possessed," "Given In," "Moonbeam
Friends," "Step Inside," "The Wretches Gone Awry," "Noone Here," "To the
Funny Farm," "The Perfect Irony," "I Am A Legend," and "Crystal Orbs."

The only one I'm at all sure of my accuracy on is "Possessed" (possibly
my favorite song by her!).  I still haven't decided if the first word
is 'paralyzed' or 'tantalized' but...

up on "For We Believe")
