Sky Pilot - Eric Burdon and The Animals

Hide Your Heart - KISS

Oh god I love songs that tell a good, epic story... so many of such songs in my collection...

To name a few...

Supper's Ready - Genesis
Owen's Lament - Augie March
The Musical Box - Genesis
Albert Namatjira - Not Drowning, Waving


Are to name but a few...

I love bands with theatrical lyrics, that have stories you can get all rolled up in, words which move you as much as the music...

Brand New - Limousine

Such a cool song with all the different perspectives.

Randy Travis - 3 Wooden Crosses, David Ball - Private Malone

(It's country, sorry!)

Hey, country music has some of the best storytelling lyrics of all genres out there - don't be ashamed!

The Mariner's Revenge Song - The Decemberists

That song, Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror, Ethan linked in a mixtape awhile ago is quite the harrowing tale.

Josh Groban's Awake. Wonderful lyricism packed in there, imho.
