Since there was a recent thread on worst/cheesiest lyrics I thought I would balance it out with a thread on good or interesting lyrics. Whether you think its poetic, uses words in an interesting way, or whatever, post them here.

To start it off, here's the final verse from Great Blow for a Day Job by Skyclad.

Evil I did dwell - Lewd did I live
It's a small price to pay for the gift that he gives.
Was it all worth it? - I'm too drunk to tell,
I swap my cocaine for the brimstone of hell.

The song is about a banker who sells his soul to Satan :rolleyes: to become a singer in a fiddle band. What I find interesting is that the first line in the above verse is a Palindrome.
