Hi Michael,
I have a few favorite Eagles lyrics, such as "Lyin' Eyes":
She's heading for the cheating side of town. They're mostly Don Henley's work.
Freud talks about two urges, Eros and Thanatos, and "Don't Fear the Reaper" is for my money the best Thanatos song in the canon. There's Lou Reed, and there's Joy Division, but it's the purest statement of desire for death I know.
I've been listening to Billy Bragg, and his wonderful lines are legion:
Between Marx and marzipan in the dictionary
There was Mary...
I'd love to have written that.
Cheers,
John
