[kj] Big Paul and the lyrics

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I'm glad Big Paul is helping to write the lyrics --

BUT I have to admit that "Extremities" has some of my favorite Killing 
Joke lyrics ever. There are some classic lines in there that Jaz wrote 
about how people perceive wealth, i.e. "feather the nest and fuck the 
rest," which is a great line hat could be its own slogan, and which 
seems to be the motto of so many greed-obsessed corporate ass-licking 
craven social climbers, as he suggested. I.e. "I got mine, so fuck you."

But it will be cool to see what happens. The lyrics to "This Tribal 
Antidote" and the "Hosannas"'s title song are atrocious (then again, so 
are the lyrics to "Tabazan," when Big Paul was around) even though 
musically those are some of my fave songs by them, incl. Tabazan. I just 
pretend like I am not hearing the lyrics on those ones.

My 2 cents,

--Oliver
