i was under the impression that it could be put across as simply 'literature'
words written over a musical melody so to speak, hense forth are lyrics but...
the narration to peter and the wolf is not poetry it explains what the different features of the orchestra represent, the verse to demon hunter along with alot of other steeleye span songs are simply stories, they're not written to have any poetic license to them
and once in a life time by talking heads the verse is more of a speach really.
they're still all lyrics, just not what would be considered poetry.
