Tom Waits’ song, Kentucky Avenue is like a novel in a song. It expresses so much - a fine piece of literature.

I personally love Steven Wilson's lyrics, anything on the classic VDGG albums, Belew's lyrics are always interesting, and the cringeworthy gush you get from Dream Theater's!

I love the lyrics of Routine and The Raven Who Refused To Sing. Two incredible tracks (if you like misery) and the films that go with them are amazing too.

My favorite lyricists are probably Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits.

Re: Tull, I remember Iain Anderson saying in an interview that his relationship with Robert Plant went down the drain when he said, without thinking, that with his lyrics and Jimmy Page's music they'd have a great little band, quite forgetting that Robert Plant wrote the lyrics for Led Zep Embarrassed
