My pleasure!

Lyrics are up on the official LC site. I noticed a few glaring errors.

What's the process for deciding the lyric? Do they simply transcribe what they think he sings or do they get transcripts from the man himself? Does he send them the blackening pages I wonder?

I imagine it is the latter, judging from the use of capital letters in some words. If they were guessing themselves, they wouldn't take the liberty to interpret the lyrics they way they do.

Now that the lyrics are on the site I have to go checking and correcting everything..
