New_World_Man Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Also, not "best I can" which was written prior to Neil joining. A lot of people(probably even some Rush fans)assume that Neil has written all the lyrics but there are some songs he didn't write the lyrics for(not counting the first album and the aforementioned "best I can"). I'm pretty sure that Geddy wrote "different strings" also and not Neil. So can anyone come up with a list of all the post first album song lyrics not written by Neil? I would be very curious to see which ones and how many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Wasn't "Lakeside Park" Geddy? You will listen to side 2 of All the World's a Stage ten times for your penance. Sorry, just looked it up and saw I was mistaken. I know Geddy has said he doesn't care for the song, so I assumed he'd written the lyrics and then looked back at his work unfavorably. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it was written about a park that Neil used to go to when he was a kid that makes the mistake even funnier. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
