Favorite lyricists?

(1/27) > >>

Will:
Any other lyric-whores out there care to share who some of their favorites are?  Doesn't necessarily have to be any one style of music, just who grabs your attention with their words.  Anyone who influences you in your own writing (if you write, that is)?

I've been completely enthralled with Converge (they're my favorite band) since I first heard the Jane Doe album.  Anyone who's heard Converge knows you can't understand a damn word he "sings," so I checked out the lyrics on their site and discovered that for that particular time in my life, it was like I was reading my own biography.  I just love the imagery that is conveyed in some of their lines...


--- Quote ---"And I spent the last of days burning my oldest of bridges
And I spent my last of night killing the best of friends
In the company of thieves, liars, beggars and whores
I'll lay waiting, just waiting for my time to come"
--- End quote ---


Anyone else want to share some of their favorites?

Elliot Smith was great just for how simple some of his songs could be, and yet they would say so much...
