The various lyricists they have had — Sinfield, Palmer-James, Belew — all belong to a special class of awfulness. All of them, in their different ways, have penned some of the most excruciatingly stupid lyrics of all time. No wonder David Sylvian refused to be dragged into this band. That's why I admire Wetton, for at least trying to give some gravitas to some of those bletherings. One of my pet hates is woe-is-me-the-music-industry-ripped-me-off songs*, but Wetton makes Lament at least partially bearable. *Van Morrison is the only person whose songs in this vein I can tolerate.

that's genius! (Percy Dovetonsils == Fripp)
Wetton's own lyrics for KC & UK were...something.
His lyrics for Asia, not so much. (Thus when I first heard the chorus of 'I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight', I thought it was Wetton.)
