What songs do you think have great lyrics? The first I think of is 'No Laughing In Heaven,' by Ian Gillan, what about you?
 
Anything by Dream Theater. :)

Particularly 'As I Am', 'Misunderstood' (not as whiny as the name suggests) and 'Endless Sacrafice', but tbh I could go on and on about how brilliant their lyrics are. In my humble opinion, of course. :D

'Learning to Live' is good too. And 'Metropolis'. And 'Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence'. And nearly everything else they've ever wrote. :p


I remember thinking 'Under it All' by Vai had really good lyrics too, though I can't remember them at this precise moment. I wish I could write lyrics, I'm still having problems with that part of songwriting. :(

**cries** :p

Anything by GZA, don't think he's ever had one weak track in 4 albums, not to mention all his verses with other members of the Wu-Tang.
 
Some of the Sabbat lyrics were pretty good, they told a story throughout - check out the lyrics for the "Dreamweaver" album (but ignore the dodgy over-scooped rhythm guitars!)..

/flicks on Dreamweaver for a bit of nostalgia..
 
MC Frontalot - Goth Girls said:
ummmm hello! I was wondering, how goth is my frock?
see I got a thing for horror movies and mope rock
but I can't shock my hair up (I ran out of stock)
and just like that, frontalot ran out of talk
it was tragic, unheard of, never seen, me:
out of rhymes when they usually come indefatigably
but me here talk good? no, bad talk do!
like my tongue got encrypted right before I lost root
like my small talk got box-rox0red on a prior boot
it's moot, she only dates guys in chokes and boots,
not brutes lacking eyeliner like I lack
but look, I'll put a little on plus lip shellac
just to stand next to that and dream about love
of necessity, that has always had to be enough
cause I can't talk to goth girls, i just stare and stammer
my name is mc frimmer frammer
and damn her if she giggles damn her double if she laughs
goth girls like it when you double-damn it twice fast

Goth girls, goth girls: they're the girls that go
to see the nerdcore rapper with the geeked out flow
at the show, you can see the black lace on parade
I met a hundred dozen of 'em but I ain't got laid

Got shunned by her at the Rocky Horror premiere
she steered clear of the nerd crowd but I heard loud in my ear
the disdain that she held for my type
always geeking on the computron -- I get hype
on the stage, she might notice me then and observe
that I'm "ironically hip in some flip universe"
and her purse in patent leather held in fishnet glove
could then contain mp3 player with the Front filled up
her name is nyteshaed, yo don't call her cherry tomato
she look like paisley tinkle but poisonous like topato
she says her hair got attacked cause it's black and it's blue
she got a johnny the homicidal maniac tattoo
legs all deep in the boots, boots all up on the heels
yes, the kind to make a certain type of fetishist squeal
the ordeal that I endure: this close to her splendor
yet besieged by my shyness; try this: I surrender!
I'll render my intentions in the usual way
(home alone, suicidegirls up on the cathode ray)

Goth girls, goth girls: they're the girls that go
to see the nerdcore rapper with the geeked out flow
at the show, you can see the black lace on parade
I met a hundred dozen of 'em but I ain't got laid

IRL, my woman tells me that I shouldn't be coveting
I tell her "yo, you better get in a coven then"
it's like eek, I get to sleep on the couch for a week
all watching old elvira videos on tv
yeah hee hee hee, laugh it up. you don't live like I do:
at the mercy of any sister with wrist scars and black eye goo
I tried to get into some cheerleaders and failed
banana repugnant and tanned, so bland and so stale
i avail myself of the local cafe, light a clove up
thumb through Camus (in French, which I can't read, but so what?)
I think that goth could flower in nerdcore's embrace
I converted Edward Gorey's lettering into a typeface
befriended vampires on LJ and MySpace
even put that spooky echo filter on the bass
but I can't talk to goth girls, i just stare and stammer
my name is mc frimmer frammer
and damn her if she giggles damn her double if she laughs
goth girls like it when you double-damn it twice fast

Goth girls, goth girls: they're the girls that go
to see the nerdcore rapper with the geeked out flow
at the show, you can see the black lace on parade
I met a hundred dozen of 'em but I ain't got laid

Goth girls, goth girls: they're the girls that got
their souls stuck somewhere between the kettle and pot
frontalot been enamored of 'em since I was young
I met a hundred dozen of 'em, never ever humped one

Waiting in my car just outside the schoolgates
I've found out my girl is technically jailbait
Do her parents know, will I end up battered?
If I break it off, will her life be shattered?

I met her in a pub
so assumed she's old enough
She talked about my band
then about books and films and stuff
Well, to cut the story short
We went back to my place
We made it to the couch
Where she began to eat my face

Waiting in my car just outside the schoolgates
I've found out my girl is technically jailbait
Do her parents know, will I end up battered?
If I break it off, will her life be shattered?

I know I'm in xxxx
But the question still remains
If I knew what I do now
Would anything have changed
So I pick her up from school
She fiddles with the air-con
I hate to admit it
But the uniform's a turn-on

Waiting in my car just outside the schoolgates
I've found out my girl is technically jailbait
Do her parents know, will I end up battered?
If I break it off, will her life be shattered?

Her old man, he's just gone beserk
When he saw who helps with her homework
I beat a very quick tactical retreat
If I'd stayed I may have been dead meat
But time is on my side
Turns out she'll be 16 next week
I feel so relieved
That I can barely speak

Waiting in my car just outside the schoolgates
I've found out my girl is no longer jailbait
Now her parents know, will I end up battered?
There's no more need to break it off

But nothings as much fun when it's legal
