I present to you lyrics from david shaw:

quote:

Well I really don’t know what time will tell
I never grew up I’ve never been in jail
I’ve seen the inside of a cinder block cell
With eyes rolled back in head oh well
It’s been a long time coming I’m proud to say
I know what it takes to greet a sunny day
You keep on pushing those clouds away
While your knocking on wood every goddamn day

Corgan's lyrics ring kind of hollow if you aren't a depressed teenager.

Roger Waters is definitely worth mentioning.

Matt Talbot is one of my favorites, as well

quote:

I took a worn out strand of your cellophane hair and stretched it sideways
And though my mind slipped through between the sea with me
My brain stopped working from the cold
I sort of strayed from what we know

So I'll be like you and I'll do what's right
I'll win a love I don't deserve out on the ice tonight
Teach me the bluest song you know
The moon ain't comin' up
And I swear to God tonight it feels like snow

Glad we got your hands warm so my arms can feel like trust again
I can promise true waves when the summer comes
The world still fits the same form we engraved when it all began
Maybe catch a new wave
Feels right, feels right

So we ride whales and drag race time
And knock the fires from the traces of trilobite hives
You sleep like God inside her womb
And you see clearly to the silicon wasteland they left inside my mind

Glad we got your hands warm
So my arms can feel like trust again
I can promise true waves when the summer comes

The world still fits the same form we engraved when it all began
Maybe catch a new wave

We've lost the road now
Inject the charms
And we care for all of ours

We stand in rows now
Transfer alarms
Just like the Inuit with the promise song
To come down and see

Your solvents frozen here on the petal rung
Is all we have to see
Enlarged inside as we espy
The warming sea.

Your breath diffused and never realized
Aside from where the panicked hide
And I
Just a subtle lift
Provider on the other side

Peter Murphy for me.

I don't care for him but Morrissey has to be up there.
