Cover art for You Run Away lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

Oddly enough, this song and Golden Boy are pretty much the songs I like from All In Good Time. Angry? More or less. Bitter? I suppose so, yeah.

But I'm talking about the lyrics (which is what I always previously valued about BNL). To me, they hold a sense of coherency that much of the album seems to be missing.

Songs like "Ordinary"? "How Long?" Frankly, I don't have a clue what they're about. I don't even have enough to make something up - it's like the lyrics have become too esoteric to allow any interpretation at all.
