Axle Rose deserves a mention. He was a great lyricist. I often wondered what his voice would've sounded like if he hadn't been a paid guinea pig smoker for 'health research', smoking a few hundred cigs a day in a confined booth for months.
simply because you weren't listening and wondering what the song was about, or years later finding out that the song you thought was about love was actually about some guys smack addiction.
"Now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus were just passing by!
Altogether Now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus were just passing by!
Now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus were just passing by!
Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of King Caractacus were just passing by!
Altogther Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of King Caractacus were just passing by!
Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of King Caractacus were just passing by!
Now the boys who put the powder on the noses of the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of king caractacus....."
No more I'll let this awesome and totally not cheesy crap song explain the gibberish above :lol:
It's screaming out for a Grindcore cover version :D
Pretty much true, they were actually a poem by John Sebastian's 15 year old brother Mark who entered the poem into a school competition.
That's right, I remember now! So it's his brother that's a good lyricist then!
Not a good example, I suppose, but he did plenty others, like Darling Be Home Soon : "And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed, I think I've come to see myself at last..." The "I think" is great, because it tells you that in reality he's probably just some seventeen year old kid going from one emotion to the next.

I think it was Zack de la Rocha.
My vote would go for Martin Walkier.

"In ancient times... Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people... the Druids
No one knows who they were or what they were doing
But their legacy remains
Hewn into the living rock... Of Stonehenge"
Other than this work of genius, it'd be Robert Plant or Bob Dylan probably for me.
