Please help this Maroon 5

Please help this Maroon 5 fan. She's like their number one fan, (but not in a Kathy Bates starring in "Misery" kind of way). Isn't it time the band thanked LoriC for her generous publicity efforts?

Jim Morrison produced

Jim Morrison produced countless lyrical gems with the Doors, but these jumped to mind first:

"I'll tell you this ... no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn."
-- from The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)

"People are strange, when you're a stranger; faces look ugly, when you're alone; women seem wicked, when you're unwanted; streets are uneven, when you're down."
-- from People Are Strange

"Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
You walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful dimes
Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime ... get together one more time."
-- from Five to One

Gone savage for teenagers

Gone savage
for teenagers with
automatic weapons and
boundless love
gone savage for
teenagers who are
aesthetically pleasing
in other words
fly
Los Angeles beckons
the teenagers
to come to her
on buses;
Los Angeles loves
love

I am always up for a song

I am always up for a song whose lyrics are a commentary on the current state of things. Whether it's something complex such as the downfall of society as we know it, a bold but obvious and needed political statement or a catchy chorus that perks up my ears and makes me actively take notice of the lyrics I only pay attention to the lyrics if the music itself draws me in.

I have to agree that Westerberg has some great lyrics as well as a few songs from Green Day and portions, if not all, of Bruce Springsteen's latest disc.
