Lyrics that remind you of poetry or books - William Blake and Ice-T

Post by Bigwig1973 »

The following lyrics from the song "Colors" by Ice-T remind me of "The Tyger" by William Blake.

"I am a nightmare walking, psychopath talking, king of my jungle just a gangster stalkin'..." from "Colors"

and

"Tyger, Tyger burning bright in the forests of the night, what immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry..."

Any thoughts? Any songs that remind you of famous poems?
"...I'd discuss the holy books with the learned man...and that would be the sweetest thing of all...would it foil some vast, eternal plan..." Hamick Fiddler on the Roof

La Belle Dame Sans Mercy, Merci, Maria - Chartier, Keats, Hamik?
