I wasn't going to respond because this thread is a heated argument waiting to happen. LOL

Lindsey's songs on Tusk are emotional yet quirky, IMO.

The Ledge - It's like "OOMPAH!" LOL!! It's a fun, yet angry song. "Buy another fixture, tell another lie, paint another picture, see who's surprised" is basically saying to Stevie, "You're predictable and you're a liar." EEK!

SMAP - He's calling out to be loved here!! Emotions on the sleeve! He wants to be loved and wanted. "I'll come runnin', if you love me today."

WMYTYTO - Has that driving force. Angry again! LOL What makes you think you're the one? Why do you think I'm gonna be there when you want me to be. PFFTT!! Kiss off!! LOL He's telling her she's predictable again in "Everything you do has been done."

That's All for Everyone - This is his Souldrifter of Tusk. He wants to leave. He's had enough. "I can't stay I can't deceive" means he doesn't wanna make another Rumours. That would be deceitful to his nature as he wants to break out of that. It's got a tropical feel to it meaning "I need a getaway!!!!"

Not That Funny - Anger again!! He goes back and forth between hurting and being angry. This is the Come of Tusk. "It's not that funny is it? Don't blame me!" is saying, "You can't find anyone like me!" "You're hear cuz I say so." we all know is the story that he told Mick in that if you want me in the group, Stevie comes too. Turnaround. OUCH!! LOL This song sounds like a carnival to me.

That's Enough For Me - Hurting. "It's the same old pain that it used to be." He doesn't wanna hurt anymore. That's enough!! "Every night that sleep don't come..." Perhaps, they argued and that's why he can't sleep. This is showing how difficult it was for them to be in the same group after the breakup. I love you....no, I HATE you....wait, I love you.....NOPE, I HATE YOU!!!! LOL

IKINW - EGO! LOL Here is the "Don't blame me" line again like in NTF. I'm not the one who screwed this relationship, YOU ARE!! He thinks it's all her fault for their breakup. She wanted out, so don't come a'runnin' to me for comfort when you are hurt. "The dreams of a lifetime" is about Buckingham Nicks and the dream of them being a duo, forever making music together.

Walk a Thin Line - No one listens to Lindsey. Maybe nobody cared about how much he hurt after the breakup? Perhaps they were all "Poor Stevie" or something? "I said 'Stay by my side' but no one said nothin' I walk a thin line."

Tusk - Most angry line..."Why don't you ask him who's the latest on his throne?" Ooh. I am king of this castle, honey! LOL He wants to know about Mick and Stevie. Why they are sneaking around.

Rumours was basically yearning in the breakup, this is "SCREW YOU!"

Lemme add that I agree with strand, Tusk is Stevie's shining moment. Beautiful Child alone is MINDBLOWING!
