I've also read that his girlfriend wrote most of the lyrics. I know he seldom ever wrote lyrics during the Floyd days. The whole album seems to flow for me. I didn't care for Take a Breath the first time I heard it. I was annoyed by the lyrics. About the 3-4th time I listened I got over it. It ranks right up there with Knopfler's Sailing to Philadelphia to me. Right know it's about a 3 way tie between this one , Sailing to Philly and Mark & Chets Neck & Neck.I like you thought the added instruments served to augment the albums strengths. The horn section on the Eagles farewll Tour DVD is good also. Another great use of the sax is Dire Straits DVD On the Night. Really an excellent DVD. I never realized that when they toured they had so many extra players with them. It makes their music really full and complete.
