I can hardly believe that it has been 10 years since I first asked for help in compiling the lyrics from this wonderful album. And, I despaired of ever finding them all, and had all but given up, when I came back to the thread accidentally while looking for something else.

Lo, Jim Dixon, and others, but especially Jim, have put great effort into finding the lost lyrics. And, fortunately for all, the internet has caught up with our desires, and has filled in the many missing pieces.

In fact, the set of lyrics is complete, save one. The Excise Ballad proves to be an elusive catch. No reference to it anywhere that I can find, save the album itself.

But, barring that one lost song, I now have the complete set of lyrics from the album, including all of the Spoken Word sections too.

I have the entire set now in a Word 97 doc (booklet style -- print 2-sided, then fold). If necessary, I can create a plain text file, and perhaps an rtf file. I have attempted to present the lyrics in the booklet aligned with the lyrics as sung on the album, as opposed to the strict copy of the found lyrics. Where they don't, it is my fault that I missed them. I also include at the end a hodge-podge of poorly organized references where many things were found.

So, if there is yet anyone left who remembers, and still would like to have the long lost booklet that never existed, let me know. email me at bongo_maroon@mail2web.com, or post here. I will at some point make the Word Doc, and text formats available on a web page somewhere, but for now, I can email copies easy.

And, a special thanks to Jim Dixon. Wow!
