To paraphrase the great Dr Emmet Brown, \\u201cWords? Where we\\u2019re going, we don\\u2019t need words\\u201d as this week we delve deep into instrumental music. Lyrics, as every historian of music down the pub will tell you, are a relatively new invention - they were first trialled by The Police in 1980 with their masterpiece \\u201cDe Do Do Do, Dah Dah Dah\\u201d and arguably perfected by American Beat-Combo Crash Test Dummies\\u2019 wordy 1993 hit \\u201cMmm Mmm Mmm Mmm\\u201d. Since the golden age of modern pop lyrics lasted a scant 13 years, we have therefore much ground to cover as we traverse material from before Beethoven\\u2019s big comeback to album work all the way up to music contemporary with Paul Weller\\u2019s fourth (and to date final) haircut.
