This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
And I have it all here in red, blue, green
In red, blue, green

You are my center when I spin away
Out of control on videotape, on videotape
On videotape, on videotape, on videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Cause I can't do it face to face
So talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape

The thing about the morrissyies lyrics is that he is really good at conveying his gay emotions through them.

Dylan is, in all seriousness, probably the best lyricist ever. If you're looking for the next Dylan you're going to be disappointed.

Neil Young > Bob Dylan
>>

To a higher degree, actually. Morrison's poetry and lyrics alike read something a teenager who just discovered poetry and thinks oblique = good would write.
>>
>>61792349
You sound a lot more furious than I.
>>
>>61792354
Eh

Dylan's probably the best when being put to song and everything comes together but his stuff doesn't stand up on paper likes Townes Van Zandt imo.
>>
>>61792380
Neil Young > most songwriters
Dylan > Young
>>
>>61792400
Tom T. Hall > Townes Van Zandt. Dylan is still better though.
>>
>>61792400
TVZ never wrote anything really original just country cliches. prove me wrong, oh wait you can't

is a great argument though, uh huh
You don't know anything about poetry
>>
>>61792460
If we're talking about them as poets (which is the dominant theme of this thread so we obviously are), neither are original. Hell, Dylan's whole shtick when you get to studying him is borrowing from other sources and putting them to use in his own songs. There hasn't been a single album of his where he hasn't employed this technique.
>>61792475
And that teen has significantly more refined taste.
>>
>>61792515
If you like Morrissey, neither do you

>>61792518
>I AM HUUUUMAN

genius
>>
>>61792552
There's nothing wrong with those lyrics.

>>61792552
I suppose Dylan's a hack for writing a song with a chorus of

>I want you
>I want you
>Honey I want you so bad

>>61792646
The point that I'm getting at is that straightforwardness isn't a hindrance on lyrical quality and anyone who disagrees doesn't read much poetry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan#Legacy
>Dylan's lyrics began to receive detailed scrutiny from academics and poets. Literary critic Christopher Ricks published a 500-page analysis of Dylan's work, placing him in the context of Eliot, Keats and Tennyson,[398] claiming that Dylan was a poet worthy of the same close analysis.[399] Former British poet laureate Sir Andrew Motion argued that his lyrics should be studied in schools.[400] Since 1996, academics have lobbied the Swedish Academy to award Dylan the Nobel Prize in Literature.[401][402][403][404]
