I write songs myself and can appreciate the difficulty in writing lyrics. I assume most of the people on here that complain about them have never written a song before. I don't mean that as an insult in any way but there is a lack of understanding that goes along with it. Dave's songwriting does not lend itself to poetic writing. His whacky rhythms make it EXTREMELY difficult to write good lyrics and have them work within the rhythm and melody of a song. The choruses in Gaucho and Rooftop are classic examples of that...but people don't get it and just bitch about the lyrics. If you want Dave to write great lyrics he would probably have to start writing simpler songs with simple chords and then people would start bitching about the music.

amen brotha
maybe dmb should pull a nickleback and just write new lyrics and melodies over old songs, then people couldn't complain right?
