Well....  Extraterrestial Live had printed lyrics, too,
just they weren't exactly as sung....  the Moorcock ones
were interesting (Black Blade & Veteran), they had several
extra lines not in the songs (as sung), but they look like
stuff Moorcock probably wrote for them....

You did, of course, send off the 50 cents for the nice
green and white striped computer printout (all caps) of
the lyrics, right?  They weren't perfect, but helped
a lot...
