Quote (lordlucan @ May 04 2005, 14:19) | Because Mike Oldfield, while he's a truly amazing musician and composer, is a bloody atrocious lyricist. |
Sometimes, yes.
But sometimes I think he's good. It depends on the song.
I think the lyrics to Flying Start, Moonlight Shadow, To France, The Time Has Come and North Point are all good. And even a song like On Horseback is delightful lyrically, occasional clumsy lines and all.
