Damn, you took the example I was going to use. If you look at Radiohead's magnum opus "OK Computer" and the lyrics from one of the best tracks "Paranoid Android" you get gems like:

"Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android) "

"Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does...."

Those are some terrible lyrics, but when you listen to them in the context of the song, you wouldn't have them any other way.
