<<<but my favorite on the album proper is probably Ed's "Bank
Job," which is both exceedingly pretty and one of the better lyrics on
the album: it's kind of like one of Donald Westlake's Dortmunder
novels set to music.>>>
>I like this song a lot, and the Donald Westlake reference is perfect!
Specifically, it's the verse about why the job failed: a bank full of
nuns sounds straight out of Dortmunder. However, as a faithful reader
of this sort of thing, one thing nags a bit: if Ed was the driver,
then he wouldn't have been in the bank himself.
