Not strictly my favourite band but lyrically The Flaming Lips are absolutely amazing, there's a depth and mystery to their lyrics that very few bands have.
I accidentally touched my head
And noticed that I had been bleeding
For how long I didn't know
What was this, I thought, that struck me?
What kind of weapons have they got?
The softest bullet ever shot
The Smiths and Joy Division are two obvious bands really worth mentioning. Morrissey with his poetic mixture of despair and humour and Ian Curtis with his painfully honest and gloomy lyrics.
