So based on this statement, you'd be perfectly fine if songs featured scat vocals in place of lyrics.

For what it's worth I actually like a bunch of Monuments and the lyrics don't bug me too much, but obviously the songs would be a lot better with a little more lyrical meat on the bones.

That's my point here, only replace "a little more lyrical meat" with "a lot more lyrical meat".
And for the record, I don't think Billy has the talent to write quality lyrics. A good line or verse here or there, maybe even enough to scrap together a good lyric for a full song occasionally but definitely not for a full album.
