I always think of "Reasons to be Cheerful" in the same vein as "88 Lines About 44 Women" and "People Who Died" as kind of specifically poetic songs, though I agree many songs' lyrics can be read or sung as poetry. It's also part of my love for Leonard Cohen's compositions, and sometimes people like Lou Reed (though his stuff relies on guitar a lot more, hrm). And of course "Pepper", though I also love the guitar bits in that one.

I feel like there's a playlist in here somewhere.
