Of course, in the Gift of Screws songs, he seems to have gotten wordier. The elegance has become more intrisincally woven with ambiguity in the new stuff, but what he has to say still makes you think. And that is the mark of great songwriter.

That is a great summary of my own (high) regards for LB's lyrics, past and present. Well said Carnevaca!
