Lucinda Williams has a talent for songwriting as a whole -- creating music and a delivery that more than complement her lines, they elevate them. Here's a section from one of my favorites, but you need to hear it for maximum effect:

"Some kind of savior singing the blues
A derelict in your duct tape shoes
Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair
Looking like you didn't care ... drunken angel

Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart
Over the strings of your guitar
The worn down places in the wood
That once made you feel so good ...
Drunken angel -- you're on the other side"

Gone savage for teenagers

Gone savage
for teenagers with
automatic weapons and
boundless love
gone savage for
teenagers who are
aesthetically pleasing
in other words
fly
Los Angeles beckons
the teenagers
to come to her
on buses;
Los Angeles loves
love
