I'm quite sure many of my favourite Gord lyrics are expressions and phrases that he picked up after hearing family, friends, locals and others he encountered during his travels, and wisely noted them his mental journal. His craft of retrieving them and landing them on a melody, was a blend of magic, hard work and sheer focus. If women, booze and abundance of substance were involved, well, maybe Gord can give it another try, but over a bowl of soup instead...
I believe lots of his early stuff would work well as a choral arrangement. Leaves of Grass. A minor ballad. The groovy version of TWIF. Your Loves Return. Perhaps an epic version of Seven Island Suite, with a cool mid section round and layered crescendo for the latter section. Ahhh
