2 completely unrelated questions, about lyrics and sunflower seeds?

1) do u think phil collins can write lyrics (i mean obviously he DOES
write lyrics but do u think they are just over the top cheesy ...or
can he actually write something interesting thought provoking?

2) is it weird to eat shells and all when eating sunflower seeds?? I
always assumed this is what everyone does until i found out that most
people spit out the shells.. Is there any value in eating the shells?
are they bad for you or what?
