ITT: post lyricists who deserved the Nobel Prize in Literature more than Bob Dylan. And yes mods, lyrics are literature, at least according to the Swedish Academy.

Have you read any of His fiction, OP? He has three books. I like John Darnielle but I'm a tad wary because he's admitted to liking cringe poets like Robert Frost and Thomas Hardy.

First you were a sneed
Now you are a chuck
You make me sneed
I don't want a feed anymore
Oh you put me in chucks house
Oh you put me in chucks house

Woah woah woah ay look
I think I want to sneed with you
Ain't got much but a seed and feed
I said listen to me for a second
I just wanna make you comfortable

I don't support people with bad physiognomy and tattoos. I can tell you right now that this guy deserved nothing. His pupillary distance indicates low IQ. The only thing he has going for him is that he likely benefits from the pleiotropic relation between elongated eyes and prefrontal cortex so he has a few extra square milimeters of important brain which enables writing. If I had to calculate, his IQ is about 120 at best, still midwit territory. If it wasn't for that, he would have been in the ditch digging dirt or tending the fields where he belongs.

I was letting my own bias speak. I just don't like a many of the Victorian poets. For Hardy, his gloominess doesn't seem to have any horizon: he's just moping around. (It's the same Issue I have with Housman, but I think Hardy is better than Housman. tbf.) I've also never be wowed by his musicality or metrical skills, so nothing on the technical side either.
I've never read his novels, so maybe he's a better novelist than poet, I don't know. Don't take me too seriously.

Stevie wonder, David Tibet and Arthur brown and Greg brown imo have all written superior songs, I will post two songs from each beginning with wonder.

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Always)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Always)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Did you know that true love asks for nothing?
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee?
To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always
As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
'Cause I'll be loving you always
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Always)
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Always)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four (Always)
Until the day that is the day that are no more
(Did you know that you're loved by somebody?)
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left (Always)
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (I'll be loving you forever)
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through (Always)
Until the day that you are me and I am you (Always)
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
We all know sometimes life's hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet you life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren

And their great-great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Loving you)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Loving you)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Loving you)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream (Be loving you)
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Loving you)
Until the trees and seas up, up and fly away (Loving you)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four (Loving you)
Until the day that is the day that are no more (Loving you)
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left (Be loving you)
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (Loving you)
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through (Loving you)
Until the day that you are me and I am you (Now ain't that loving you)
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Ain't that loving you)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (And I've got to say always)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Always)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream (Always)
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Always)
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Always)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that is the day that are no more (Always)
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (Always)
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you.


Now here’s a second song by Stevie wonder.

Village ghetto land

Would you like to go with me
Down my dead end street
Would you like to come with me
To Village Ghetto Land?
See the people lock their doors
While robbers laugh and steal
Beggars watch and eat their meals
From garbage cans
Broken glass is everywhere
It's a bloody scene
Killing plagues the citizens
Unless they own police
Children play with rusted cars
Sores cover their hands
Politicians laugh and drink
Drunk to all demands
Families buying dog food now
Starvation roams the streets
Babies die before they're born
Infected by the grief
Now, some folks say that we should be
Glad for what we have
Tell me, would you be happy
In Village Ghetto Land?


Next post will have two from Tibet

As I descended with the dogs blood rising
so then I ascended to the thunder perfect mind
Great gray blood speckled slabs of slate has fallen
This is my vision in a croaking gearing world

Idiotic faces and swollen hearts
In the papers the faces are not real
In the world the faces are not real
In the heart of the heart the face is real

The death die abroad
The crows fly
The wolfs fly
And four poorly painted cardboard horse man
sheet over the back of the wings
they are not legion but closed

God walked on earth in those days
Now still in my heart you walk still

In the green fields far away there is a solid tree
Mother and the sign she makes on the broken horse
zodiac signs yellow face passes
All the rainbow her arms were
all books piled up in dirty heaps
crated like surface pity

Ah Elicia, la gara

If the sea horse was golden cold
and talking back the bloody streams of gods own pain
Why should we have compassion for others
when god himself has no pity on others
"Take back the blood speech", he said to him
certain colors came from her body she is alone

God walked on earth in those days
Now still in my heart you walk still

And the broken face of this horizon world is covered
by crystal cross ice
And the broken face of this horizon
world is covered by crystal cross ice
When this whole wide ilice world size
this ilice world size

All the stars of souls each single planet is
the life flame of the nothing eternity spark
I can not believe despite the evidence of one good eye
and one poor eye that this world is gods own
Blood red grass green
Bloom black sky pied paradise
When I lay in the arms of one more
and I said to her silent
"you will be forever mine"

Though you blows you shall die, die, die
Sleep as you shall die
I will love you always between your body
I pray that I shall be forever bind
If I say to you love
then listen you should be crowned above all

God walked on earth in those days
Now still in my heart you walk still


And a second song by Tibet

The stars on horizon
Five I see them and count
They line up like a row of heads
And I fall into their depths
Of water water everywhere
Oh let me fall into you
Let me sleeplongandquiet
God watches allsparrows fall
Both for
Thanks

Thecat is dead
Thank you oh worthwhile thing to pray
Loud and often
So sweepy silent

That small bubble my dream
Burst last night
It was bloodful
So full but when it split
I was blinded
Those with feelings
Wonderous kind
Our love with kittens
Everbind

running on down to the hole in the city
A head full of smoke and a heart with no pity
Keep sliding down the slippery pole to the edge of the night
Take me out and breathe me in, I hold a ten ton hammer to your skin
Where the right is wrong and you know wrong is right
I'm gonna hold ya down till you're ready to grip
You gotta hold onto me with your eyes and yo lips
Gonna suck out yo poison, make ya whole again
In the formless depths of Zim Zam Zim
Where everyone's runnin' to the top of the hill
Icecaps melting, waters rising still
Storm winds howling, flames up in the sky
Towers have fallen, smoke fills your lungs
Endless beginnings have no longer begun
You've reached your sell by date
It's time to die
Some prayin' for the end to come fast
Pushing and a-shovin', they're tryna get past
To find a spot where death has never been
In the formless depths of Zim Zam Zim
Take me in, breathe me out
End your fear, your terror, your doubt
You can't escape the final twisting joke
The tide of greed, tide of hate
Take up your Loved ones before it's too late
The air around you is thick with choking smoke
Waves of destruction filling the sky
People don't care if they live or die
They just want to feel the breath running through their lungs
While they're singing the song that shouldn't be sung
It could be the end, it might all begin
In the formless depths of Zim Zam Zim


And a second song by Arthur

When you see a fire burning inside your mind's eye
Breathe the meaning of the flames before you let them die
Let them burn you through until you know that you can fly

Twisting, turning, falling, burning
Roaring balls of fire
Eyes that see them have no need
Of guides to span the wire
Let the flames burn you right through
To lower burns through higher

Come and see
Come and buy
Come and see
Come and buy

I can sell you the love
I can buy you the morning sun

You can buy sun from the morning
From suns to the set in the morning for tea
Pockets of love but nothing to buy
Crystals of beauty, the mountain, the sea
Something that ain't through a mind full of pride
Going hands with the sun and set yourself free
Come and see, come and buy
Come and buy
Buy my love

Sleeping sunsets sweat their beauty, melting at your feet
Take your mind through sacred fire leaving you complete
Let the flames burn you so hard, there can be no retreat

Floating, drooping, looping, turning
Roaring balls of fire
Light the pathway you must take
To drag you from the mire
Soothe the darkness from your feet
Burn down your funeral pyre

Come and see
Come and buy
Come and see
Come and buy

I can sell you love
I can sell you the morning sun

You can buy sun from the morning
From suns to the set in the morning for tea
Pockets of love but nothing to buy
Crystals of beauty, the mountain, the sea
Something that ain't through a mind full of pride
Going hands with the sun and set yourself free

Come and see, come and buy
Come and buy
Buy my fire
Buy my fire

Eyes are glaring on your face
Watching you below
Take the sun that sweats at midnight
Burning you below
See the sun as it sweats with beauty
Burning through the fire
Feeding on your soul so deep
Fire
Come and buy my fire
Come and buy my fire
Come and buy
Buy my fire

Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
I got what I paid for now
See ya tomorrow, hey Frank can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me

I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English, and everything's broken
And my Stacys are soaking wet
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me

Now the dogs are barking
And the taxicabs parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me
You tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old Bushmills I staggered
You buried the dagger in
Your silhouette window light
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me

Now I've lost my St. Christopher
Now that I've kissed her and the
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman, and the cold-blooded signs
And the girls down by the strip tease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me

No, I don't want your sympathy
The fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
They want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me

And you can ask any sailor
And the keys from the jailer
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Matilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me

And it's a battered old suitcase
To a hotel someplace
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna, the perfume is on
An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers
The night watchman flame keepers
And goodnight Matilda, too

I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me
You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy
There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you
You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you

I still remember in the days when I was scared to touch you
How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you
You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in
That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
I just don't wanna stop
Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much

Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started
I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted
Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin'
Opened the door up and to my surprise, there you were standin'

Well, who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar
I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and holler
Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I'm winnin'
We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
And I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
