Suzanne Vega wrote some powerful lyrics, such as those for "Luka". My brother has her autograph in an old passport of his.
I'm not sure what I wish I'd written, but I spent this afternoon listening to The Pogues on a 250-mile drive home:

"They died in their hundreds with no sign to mark where
Save the brass in the pocket of the entrepreneur."

That's "Navigator". I love that rhyme, and the song is great en bloc.
