I don't see the connection between misattributing writing credits on a
live album (The Business Trip) and running out of original ideas.
They seem like two separate questions to me.

They seem to have plenty of muscial ideas left.  Lyrically they've
been a bit weak; Calvert was definitely the best lyricist the band
ever had.  Several of the tracks that they've reworked have been
very different musically - e.g. Mask Of Morning and The Camera That
Could Lie.  They just needed new lyrics to be completely new songs.
Death Trap doesn't fit this model though, which is why I think it
would have been better left off the studio album.

Dave.
