What songs feature the best lyrics?

[Cowboy14]

Yes Bullet for my valentine \m/

[Bighuey]

Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday

[Arielen]

quit playing games with my heart from BACKSTREET BOYS is my favorite lyrics

[Omgmail]

Creep by radiohead ...........Most depressed lyrics ever , i think

[Bighuey]

Ive got an old 78 rpm record by Artie Shaw called Gloomy Sunday. I cant say its the best lyrics, but some of the most unusual for that period. Its about suicide and very depressing. Shaw does a clarinet solo that will blow you away, it would make a person consider suicide. Really weird.

[Garathnormanmtts]

Eminem's not afraid features the best lyrics.

[Sleepless]

Here With You By Saliva

[Shawanna]

every one i see you i feel you song from titanic

[Florinda]

its my life la la la la its my life this lyric is rocking right

[Honeybarbara]

'my name it means nothing, my age it means less, but the place that I come from, is called the midwest'..........yeah Dylan is pretty good; also Beatles of course and for REAL poetry, Leonard Cohen. My favourite.

[Crazy_soul]

[Pigs on the Wing]

Of course, you know Big Huey that Billie didn't write it...that was a poet.

[Bighuey]

Of course, you know Big Huey that Billie didn't write it...that was a poet.

Yes, I believe he was a schoolteacher, I dont recall his name. He wrote it as a protest to lynchings and wanted Billie to sing it in a club that she was performing in New York.

[Honeybarbara]

Yes...it's actually peculiar in that it's very unpleasant to listen to because of the subject matter and description.. but absolutely compelling. I like Nina Simone's version also.
