>I was thinking today, one of my favorite things about the Oils is the fact 
>that their lyrics are so consistently good.  And, when they do miss, they 
>aren't cringe-worthy.  This came to me as I was listening to Achtung Baby.  
>Consider "One" where this most triumphant lyric:
>
>Have you come here for forgivness?
>Have you come to raise the dead?
>Have you come here to play Jesus
>To the lepers in your head?
>
>is followed immediately by this "gem":

>Did I ask too much?
>More than a lot?
>You gave me nothing
>Now it's all I got.

>therefore ruining what started off as one hell of a verse.

>What?  In the year-and-a-half you worked on this record you couldn't come 
>up with anything better than "more than a lot?"

>I know Mr. Hirst would never pen something that awful, and if he did, Jim 
>would most assuredly hit him with a blunt object if he ever tried to put it 
>on the album.
