I doubt you could even tell me what exactly half of the lyrics of WLAM mean.

Whilst I agree that The Professor is incredible - I do think your post was a little patronising, i too read her post as a bit of a joke... Also, Professor isn't
that musically complex as you say... perhaps melodically and structurally, but accompaniment-wise it really isn't very complex at all.
Also, I doubt any of us could tell you what half of the lyrics to almost all of Damien's songs mean. He's not particularly open in a specific sense, and his lyrics are very much open to interpretation a lot of the time. He doesn't even know what half of them mean. (Obviously I don't mean in a literal sense and I'm sure you don't either) But I don't think your comment was fair.
