Which song/album has the best lyrics?

Which song and/or album contains the best lyrics in your opinion?

I love the lyrics to 'Needles and Pins' - very weird,  very abstract, very original, I mean I would never have expected 'whale's moan' to be in a songs lyrics and what is a sharp machine?
''You're a star. You blaze...
out like a sharp machine...
Like a whale's moan...

I think that the Self Titled album contains some of the best lyrics Chino has ever written, especially on the songs I've just mentioned.Another great one on there is 'Bloody Cape'.
Second place goes to ATF.
Songs like 'ATF' and 'Headup' contain great unconventional lyrics.
I also love the line from 'My Own Summer'  - 'I think God is moving it's tongue'

To me, Chino's lyrics are exactly as he describes them, 'painting a picture'. I love lyrics like this which are more abstract and allow you to interpret them in your own way.
I've always felt that Chino is a great lyricist.

agreed.  my favorites being Hexagram and When Girls Telephone Boys.

"i think it's sweet of you and your parents are proud, but i would expect it from anyone now to protect life's indigenous sound"

" well i'll wear the claws if you'd like that.  yeah if you'd like that we can ride on a black horse, a great new wave HESPERIAN DEATH HORSE!  i can call you when i get back"

Deathblow, Korea, YSTB and Birthmark are my favorites, lyrics-wise. I usually love the lyrics to Deftones songs, especially the fantasy and image-heavy songs.

I really like Battle-Axe and Lucky You lyrics. I think S/T lyrics are the best but White Pony has some great ones as well, a little more abstract than S/T. Feiticeira has some of the best lyrics Chino's written actually, and Korea.
