lyrics can be good

"even though you're smarter than me
I'll write your autobiography

I'm using all the words up
got my grammar at the five-and-dime
I'm looking all the words up
now I know the words are mine"

(David Bryne- from "Wanted for Life", off Everything That Happens Will Happen Today)

The beat also kinda slaps on this one, to the point where you want to throw a hand up and sing along. This guy still kills me, Brain Eno too. Funky middle aged white men.

Makin' me wanna' go back to writing songs.

Here's a recent lyric:

left alone
I would die
gladly I, would die

stately home
you and I
lately lost, you and I

left a note, left of hope
for you and I
lately I, wonder why

left alone
I do cry
rest assured, I cry

(lyrics can be good, but I'm not sure these are. Ask me to sing the tune though, if you see me)
