How would the mainstream have even known what the lyrics were? Even the Macheads were lost. I remember the day I bought the Tusk piano+guitar songbook & saw the actual lyrics to the song -- light years from what I thought they were. I once had the Japanese-issue 45 with Sisters on it & lyrics printed on a lyric sheet inserted. I say "lyrics" without the article ("the") for a reason, if you catch my drift!

Part of Tusk's oozy-woozy mystery to my little teenage brain was the absence of lyrics printed on the sleeves.
