I wouldn't be surprised if your singer is re-hashing the same musical ideas for the verse of each song. A lot of people do this, but its **** so make sure he's not doing it!

OH! And I know from experience that he's currently using too many words. It's hard to trust a lyric if there aren't a few 1,2 or 3 syllable lines kicking around, especially in the choruses. Keep the great lines and chop away at the rest. Chop chop.
Aye i understand completely, and as it goes we're kinda going for a punk meets sleaze rock kinda sound so you were spot on there. The lyrics are sung very fast but i think it's more to do qith the riffs our guitarist comes up with, they're extrodinarily difficult to write to.
