I remember an ancient interview with EB and they asked about BOC's
lyrics.  He said, 'hey, it's an alternative to 'I got da blues.' He
also said: 'we don't sing no love songs.' That was very early in the
band's career, of course.  But yeah, JB, BOC is lyrically light years
ahead of other bands, always has been.  For one thing, they don't
rely upon trite rhyme schemes.  In fact, on the first 3 albums, none
of the lyrics employ end rhyme.  It's one of the things that
instantly attracted me to the band...
