Yeah, lyrics have never been their strength but in the 80s and mostly in the 90s their lyrics were more vague and opaque, which served the band well. I'd rather hear about a cocker on a rock, or something drifting in the distance, or she being not alone, than Mariah on fire, boys going to Jupiter, or something about Lou Reed/Patti Smith/Allen Ginsberg, or Goo having a new tattoo.
As their lyrics became clearer in meaning they became overall more something to circumvented.
This only applies to Kim and ThrustOn
