Protheroe's songs are noted for their use of wordplay, some nonsensical, in the vein of [[John Lennon]]. Most of his songs feature lyrics he wrote, but "Changing My Tune", "Oh, Weeping Will" and "Dancing on Black Ice" had lyrics written by Martin Duncan, and it seems Duncan was the one responsible for more of the wordplay. |
