Lyrically Inclined

I love music. Sometimes, lyrics can find a way into my heart and I think, "Yes, that’s how I would have liked to have said that." I think songwriters, good songwriters, find the ways to word things so it just fits.

I have done posts before about a few different groups and artists and I have posted some lyrics. Some of these posts have other thoughts in them, some are just the lyrics. Sometimes the post will be about something else and the lyrics just tied in.

Has anyone else ever questioned who sang "Wrap Your Arms Around Me", one of the Barenaked Ladies songs on Gordon? I've always thought it was Ed, but a friend of mine pointed out that Ed's voice sounds different elsewhere on the album. We record a lot of cover songs and consider ourselves BnL experts, but we couldn't agree on an answer. Any ideas?...
