Elvis Costello for me. I think I share a cynical sense of humour with him:
"They're playing My Favourite Things again and again
But it's the one by Julie Andrews not the one by John Coltrane."
(from This Is Hell)
"There's still some pretty insults left
And still such sport in threatening."
"Was it a millionaire who said
Imagine no possessions?"
Not to mention the anti-Thatcher "Stamp The Dirt Down", songs like "Pills and Soap" and "Indoor Fireworks."
