"Jim Morrison -- I'm drunk, I'm nobody. I'm drunk, I'm famous. I'm drunk, I'm dead."

Kinda harsh, but not too far off-target IMHO
Personally I find his lyrics the best around, quite simply because I remember so many great lines from Doors songs more so than any other artsist that I've listened to over the years.
