I think Bright Eyes is a great lyricist. Some people find his voice annoying but I like how he always seems to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. This is the first song on 'I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning'. It starts off with a little story and then breaks into music:
So there was this woman and she was on an airplane, and she was flying to meet her fiancé seaming high above the largest ocean on planet earth. She was seated next to this man she had tried to start conversations with, but the only thing she had really heard him say was to order his Bloody Mary. So she was sitting there and she was reading this really arduous magazine article about a third world country that she couldn’t even pronounce the name of. And she was feeling very bored and despondent. And then suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave out, and they started just falling thirty-thousand feet, and the pilot's on the microphone and he’s saying “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, oh my god... I'm sorry” and apologizing. And she looks at the man and says “Where are we going?” and he looks at her and he says “We’re going to a party. It’s a birthday party. It’s your birthday party. Happy birthday darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much.” And then he starts humming this little tune, it kind of goes like this: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
We must talk in every telephone Get eaten off the web We must rip out all the epilogues from the books that we have read And in the face of every criminal Strapped firmly to a chair We must stare, we must stare, we must stare
We must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell And in the ear of every anarchist that sleeps but doesn’t dream We must sing, we must sing, we must sing
While my mother waters plants My father loads his guns He says death will give us back to god Just like this setting sun is returned to this lonesome ocean
And then they splashed into the deep blue sea It was a wonderful splash
We must blend into the choir Sing as static with the whole We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul And in this endless race for property and privilege to be one We must run, we must run, we must run
We must hang up in the belfry Where the bats and moonlight laugh We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past And in the caverns of tomorrow With just our flashlights and our love We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge
And then we’ll get down there, way down to the very bottom of everything And then we’ll see it, oh we’ll see it, we’ll see it, we’ll see it
Oh my morning's coming back The whole world’s waking up All the city buses swimming past I’m happy just because I found out I am really no one

I'm not really sure. I'm a big pop fan...don't ask why. Any lyrics by Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne appeal to me.

Good choice.
"And if a double-decker bus Crashes in to us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten tonne truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine"
Do you like Siouxsie and the Banshees?
