There's one band or artist - I've got the C.D. in my collection somewhere, but I can't remember now what it is - which released an album with the lyrics in the notes, and the request to the listener to please not read the lyrics while listening to the album.
As a flip-side to the re-release featuring lyrics, the 2-C.D. re-release of Violent Femmes butchered the page from the original liner that included the lyrics, so that it's enlarged and looks all nice and arty but the enlargement cuts out half the lyrics. Very annoying.
A.I.H.'s first album included the lyrics, I don't know why In Case We Die doesn't.
