I read song lyrics. I have the sound turned off on my computer and often read lyrics before even listening to a song. I said earlier that the best songs have a story in them. They are literature for me. Mark Knopfler has written some great stories that he happens to set to music. Prairie Wedding is a fabulous Western/romance. He also wrote a mafia type song "Don't Crash the Ambulance." He has a crime song in "Postcard from Paraguay." Really great mystery/detective story: "On Every Street." Love the line: Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete. But the whole "song" is a great story.
