What about all those versions of "Ejection" where "Ejection" is the only
lyric from the chorus that Alan would sing (or would sing the first chorus
all 3 times)?  Not to mention numerous times that Bob would sing things ...
erm ... differently, but I prefer to think of that as "making up something
new as he goes along" (as with "Over The Top", for instance).  OTOH, Dave
does seem to have a mind like a steel trap when it comes to lyrics.  Better
than me, I've forgotten *plenty* of lyrics whilst onstage, ones that I
actually wrote, even!
