BAU, contrary to what I wrote back in 2007, has become one of my favourite tracks on LROOE. Miss Ghost is in my top 3 on IJ & I see a vague similarity, but that's all. Please note I said it was 'like' an outtake from IJ. I didn't say it WAS, but lyrically it is very much in that album's vein.
Regarding the White House & 'monuments to arrogance' back then I thought it was more a metaphorical comparison & a reference to the present day, not when the building was constructed. But the White House reference does seem to be separate.
