Great lyrics?  How about that Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks classic,

	"How can I miss you when you wont go away"
		with lyrics like
		  "Your never ending presence 
		    really cramps my style"

	Peter Meng

or how about

It's those little things you don't pick up,
   like a ringing telephone,
        That leads me to wondering, "Is this my happy home?"

-Ron

There's a ring around your finger, a ring around the moon,
you've got big dark rings around both your eyes and the the telephone is ringing.
Ain't it funny how the time flies.

[ The bug that dares not speak its name]
	I like the lyrics to "Pamela Brown" (performed by Leo Kottke, but
I believe it was written by Tom T. Hall).
	"I'm the guy that didn't marry
		Pretty Pamela Brown"
It goes on to recite all the things that he's been able to do because
he didn't settle down with her.  
	"I guess the guy she married was the best part of my luck,
	 She dug him, 'cause he drove a pickup truck."
and finished
	"One of these days I might be in your town,
	 and I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown."

It isn't a "hate" song like some of the things people have been posting
of late;  just a "things turned out better than I thought" song.
