I lied. I sneaked listens to "Totally Wired" and "Music Scene". Yup, they're still amazing.
Today's Irish Times article quotes the lyrics of "Leave the Capitol" and they seem like good poetry to me but I'm hearing Mark's delivery while I'm reading them; sort of music/poetry/sound-poetry. I fancy they wouldn't stand out so much for a reader who didn't know the song, they'd say "these look like decent lyrics" but wouldn't feel the need to invoke the word "poetry".
