Forget the Title Track; It's the 'B-Side' you'll listen to.

"'Lovers in a Dangerous time' -- This is the definitive BNL song; too bad it's a cover.Bruce Cockburn wrote 'Lovers...', recorded it, and it's been quoted by many artists from Bowie to U2, but BNL has made it their own. It's quite possibly the best rendition of this song that could be recorded, ever.It's about... gee, what *is* it about... It's about life. Love. The human condition. What it means to be human. What it means to be alive.The lyrics are so well-crafted (and blended by the 'Ladies) that they take the qualities of minimalist poetry and hint at so much more than the too-short words literally say.Listen. Learn from it.And the 'Old Apartment' song is throwaway mush, but it's well-done throwaway mush."
