Weird Lyrics:
Bigmouth Strikes Again
A Rush and A Push and the Land is ours
Some Girls are Bigger than Others
Panic
AsleepStraightforward:
Girlfriend in a Coma
Ask
Money Changes Everything
Sweet and Tender HooliganBy the way I added a Joke...see if you can catch it. (I am not that aware of his solo works so I can't say much aboot that, but You are right I was somehow only thinking of the well..at least to me Strange lyrics)
I agree that it is one aspect of good lyrics that they are open for interpretation. That might actually a thing that Bob Dylan doesn't have..althoguh I guess that was another time back then.
Definitely check out his solo stuff, it's very good. Just don't expect The Smiths, because that's not what it is.
