I thought TFF was hit or miss with lyrics. Isle of Avalon, Starblind, Coming Home, El Dorado, really great lyrics, some of their very best. Then stuff like The Final Frontier, Man Who Would Be King, and WTWWB are really weak at times. Easy way to fix this, make Bruce the main lyricist

Bruce really has grown to be one of the best lyricists in the world as the time went on in his career. His solo career probably helped him in that respect. Starblind has the greatest lyrics on a song ever, in my opinion.
Only thing I don't like lyrically on TFF is the line in Mother of Mercy that goes "I'll die a lonely man of that I'm certain of". It's bad grammar. It should be "... of that I'm certain" or "... and that I'm certain of" but having "of" in there twice is wrong and I'm surprised it got on the record like that.
