Insane Genious!
Ok, good lyricists that nobody mentioned so far:
Brad Roberts, of Crash Test Dummies.
He writes 3 minute novels. Amazing.
"I've got my wisdom teeth, two up top, two beneath. Yet I recognize, my mouth sais things that aren't so wise".
Grant Lee Philips of Grant Lee Buffalo. not always good, but when he is good he is utterly amazing. especially when he makes biblical refereneces, like in "Lone Star Song" (about the Branch Davidian sect, and "Betlehem Steel".
"There was a light blue as welder's torch
It used to shine over the fiels
And all the wise men,strong men were drawn for miles
Followed a star to Bethlehem steel"
Personally I like to play with words when I write lyrics.
"She was his drug, the one he abused
The abstinence still is more than he need
he thinks that he might have OD'd"
"You may think there is no justice
while you hope that you're not right
but do you know what just is?
just barely, but not quite."
