Cranking up a bootleg from 1985 now... Walrus, as you obviously like that album, are you into the late 80s stuff from Survivor as well?

The only Survivor I've heard is Eye Of The Tiger, what else would you recommend?
I guess I don't see maturity in songwriting as meaning it needs to be about weighty themes ... I'm guessing you tend to think that way, seeing as you list Runaway and Hardest Part Is The Night. In my opinion, a love song can have mature lyrics if they are developed and considered enough ... something like, for example ...
It was all so simple when
You were to be queen and I'd be your king
I guess those dreams got lost
Cause baby you're still you and I'm still me
Now letting go
It's always the hardest part to fight
When we both know
We're just two more victims of the night
... is pretty mature I reckon.
