I have a blue ton of lyrics in my head. No kidding! I tend to listen to an album over many times, when I start learning the lyrics, I sing to it. I just listen to my music too much, which is why I cannot sleep to music....I stay awake, listening!
I started collecting with the album Sundown, then COTS, GG1...at which time I suddenly realized there was a whole bunch of pre-1974 Gord material. I've been collecting in both directions ever since.
I don't remember all of the songs from the earlier albums (I do know Ode to Big Blue, Hi'Way Songs, Can't Depend on Love), but I know at least 80% of the lyrics on every later album. Whew!
