[QUOTE=7001]Don't talk to me. I thought we was boys. I thought that we was cool like that. Now when I walk the streets and somebody walks up to me and asks if I know Sho-Nuff, I'm just gonna place a bag over my head and hang it with shame.






I know, I let you down. Let me make it back up to somehow.

Dylan and the beatles.....prolly the best
i think for a modern writer...Eminem deserves a mention...Radiohead aswell

[Cletus Funk]

Burt Bacharach's worth a mention. His catalogue of songs is ridiculous.

[JohnTheMon91]

that question depends a lot of what sort of music, Tupac may have been one of the best rap writers.. A lot of guys are good jazz writers (i hate jazz though). Just like Steve Harris is really good at writing heavy metal songs.. depends on your preference

[Cletus Funk]

Morrissey (The Smiths) & Paul Heaton (Beautiful South/Housemartins) are both clever, lyrically.

You little scumbag! I got your name! I got your ass! You will learn by the numbers! I will teach you! Now get up and get on your feet!

Burt Bacharach's worth a mention. His catalogue of songs is ridiculous.

that commercial he's on for some insurance company is one of the funniest i've ever seen - where he sings while that lady describes her car accident, while burt's singing " i hope i don't get hit, in the reeeear ". i'm ****ing rollin on the floor laughing everytime i see that

another guy worth a mention, definitley not the greatest but, worth a mention is chris corner from sneaker pimps. On their first cd, Becoming X, almost every song had excellent words. some examples:


from Six underground
" don't think cause i understand, i care
don't think cause i'm a talking, we're friends "


from tesko suicide
" Dark lane, bleak house shrinking rose, You're over and out"



"Talk me down, safe and sound
Too strung up to sleep
Wear me out, scream and shout
Swear my time's never cheap
I fake my life like I've lived
Too much, I take whatever you're given
Not enough, "


from post modern sleaze - this one gives me the horn
"She looks ahead, she paints her toe nails red,
She's wet and wild, a typical 90's child,

She makes every move they make,
She takes everything they take,
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern sleaze

Unscrew the wine, she'll throw a party line,
Stories extreme, she's such a drama queen,
Cries through the night, she choked on Marlboro lites,
Pure charm and grace, she hates her pretty face,

She makes every move they make,
She takes everything they take,
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern sleaze

Straw spun from gold, she craves a tortured soul,
All doom and gloom, she plays an open wound, "

[Dr.Depravity]

Why don't you watch where your wandering, why don't you watch where your stumbling...This bog is thick and easy to get lost in, cause your dumb ass belligerent ****er! I hope it sucks you down!

[7001]

**** yourself. You piece of **** why don't you just kill your self.
