You probably won't believe this unless you play guitar, but 'Triangle' and 'Alberta Bound' use the exact same chord progression and phrasing...one just happens to be in 3/4 time and the other is in 4/4 time, which makes them sound totally different. Go ahead and throw the words to either song into the other: it works pretty well.
