Yeah, his lyrics aren't always a big selling point for me, but he always really
sold them and made you believe in em even if they were a little ridiculous upon closer investigation.
With that said he definitely has a bunch of songs that are awesome lyrically. Songs like Disarm, 1979, Desire and Tonight Tonight really tug at the heartstrings and are really beautiful.
Even when the lyrics are a little juvenile and kind of "teenage relationsip drama" type of stuff, it's sold with the intensity.
