Oxygen, amen!
Oxygen, amen!
I can breathe again.
I can breathe again.
Oxygen come in!
Oxygen come in!
Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen!
Black oil smoke
Thick blue sky
Dead red eye
Hear me cry
Eat my throat
Feed my mind
Yellow eye, feel me cry
Take me now
Peel my skin
Scrape my vein
Seal me in
Break my bones
Dance and spin
Cut a hole
Feed me now!
I'll steal all the oxygen!
Hey there Dog Man, now I drink from your bowl
Hey there Mr Skull, I'm not scared of your cull
Oxygen! Amen! Oxygen! Amen!
Breathe in! Breathe in!

I'm saying,
How can one trust the lyricist suggestion of individuals who don't read certain authors based on their Ethnicity, Religious belief and/or Gender?
It would be pretty pigeon-holed opinions in my view.

I've read everything from Gilgamesh to Houellebecq, read Racine recklessly, the Richard Burton translated Arabian Nights is one of my totems, and can quote Baudelaire badly.

My recommendations for intelligent, funny and quality lyricists:

>Morrissey
>Douglas Pearce of Death in June
>Ron Mael of Sparks
>Marc Almond
>Marc Bolan
>Jarvis Coker
>Lee Hazelwood
>Martyn Jacques of the Tiger Lillies
>Neil Hannon of the Divine Comedy
>Rod McKuen
>Charles Aznavour
>Charles Manson!

But in all seriousness; I like how "I would die 4 you", like a double-faced jacket, works both ways.

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out and leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary, please

Let down your defenses
Use no common sense
If you look, you will see that this world is a beautiful
Accident, turbulent, succulent, oppulent, permanent, no way
I wanna taste it, don't wanna waste it away

My favorite song lyrics are probably from Acid Bath. Still, like all modern music, it was created for stoned teenagers and manchildren. It's juvenile edginess with very little substance. And, of course, would be significantly less interesting if it were not an accompaniment to instrumental music which elevates the emotional meaning.

Marsha
My high school sweetheart
My first wife
My first whore
The navy sent me on duty for six months
You couldn't wait, Marsha
You found a new man
A new man that pimped you out
I came home from the navy
To a fucking whore
He turned you into a prostitute, Marsha
Or maybe you were one all along
I bet it was you
I bet it was you that gave me VD
I bet it was you, Marsha
Ten fucking years
Ten years thrown away on a whore
My fucking prostitute wife took ten years and gave me back a fucking disease
Thank god we ended in 1980
You're lucky I didn't end you
