I like a lot of L&M but mostly stuff like that song, Peace of Mind and whimsical stuff like House at Pooh Corner. Never was a fan of Your Momma Don't Dance....
Peace of Mind is a particularly heavy song lyrically and I like that. Lyrics like "There comes a time when your friends go blind, their words become disease. They'll threaten your life with the blade of a knife and set you down upon your knees". I can understand not liking them if they conjure up bad memories though.
The lyrics to Watching the River Run aren't as heavy but they're about the passage of time compared to a river's flow and how time can make us feel alone.
Nick Drake is one of my all time favourites. I used to have his entire output on vinyl and played it every Sunday morning. Keep in mind that his entire output was about 3 albums before he killed himself.
Sylvian is another one of my favourite writers. That song is so gentle and quiet but at the same time there's so much going on in there,especially with a genius like Fripp is involved in the proceedings.
