Now that two people said it, I'll ask. Why do the Coward lyrics bother you? I think these are the closest to actual, sincere lyrics on the record. They remind me of Tordah, naturally. Assuming Pekka is singing honestly about some of his own feelings, I think it's an expression of these feelings of inadequacy one can have when their parents "had such high hopes", but the son just turned out as some long-haired headbanger who'd rather make noise and get drunk than get rich, and have a bunch of grandchildren. Maybe I am missing the point, but I think these lyrics took some courage (ironically) to write, and for that I respect them.
