- this was my answer ( long-winded as ever ), just in case anyone's interested:
" well, i'm sure it must've happened but for the life of me i can't think of any specific examples
probly the first time i noticed lyrics = the jam or ( god help me ) toyah - i used to write 'em down in notebooks, exercise books etc - i loved "the stories" weller used to tell - but the politics were prob a bit beyond me
a bit later billy bragg's first two albs made a big impression - & that goincided w/starting to go to gigs regularly ( mostly benefits for striking miners or other anti thatcher things ) - but that was as much due to the influence of my friends as pop stars - & a reaction against the horrible govt of the time
i have learned a few bits of useful info from lyrics - i still can remember the lyrics to advice on arrest by the desperate bicycles ( i've never yet needed 'em - but just in case ) - also i've got a horrible feeling feeling that quite a lot of my info abt girls & human biology came from studying the lyrics to kate bush's first album ( - this was last thursday, obv )
unfortunately the lyrics to meat is murder failed to gonvince me - sorry moz...! "
