Doorway is my favorite SB tune - mostly because the song is written so well. The lyrics in that are very repetitive. June is a song right from the heart, I can see how that is affecting in the way. Walking on the Wind and Waste Away are another ones like that.
I was thinking more like "The Light". The
catfish man and the senor stuff are just goofy (did you ever notice muscially in that tune you will hear Tarkus and 21st Century SM)?

I've said it before and I'll repear it again, Stravinsky was reported to have once said that a good composer borrows but a great composer steals!
I was just listening to another station because the moon is down. This station was playing Marillion's Easter. Marillion worked the John Lennon's "War is over" melody into the end of that song. Sometimes the images or emotions that a song or lyric elicits warrants the "theft".
