I wondered, what are some songs that you think are great poetry?
Some songs I think are great poems:
"Strawberry Swing" by Coldplay
"Undisclosed Desires" by Muse
"Ordinary Day" by Vanessa Carlton
If you want to, please post the lyrics too.
Example
"Undisclosed Desires" Muse
I know you suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied
Soothe me
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure
(Chorus)
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
You trick your lovers that you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine
Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
It'd be even better if it's something you wrote. : )

"Rise, Rebel, Resist" - Otep
"Get Even" - Angelspit (lyrics included)
With these milky lips
We're kissing violence
On these loving tongues
we burn up kings
Turn your ******** cheek
I'm gunna drive the knife through
Your stench of deceit
Before you get a chance to
Your sharp intellect
With crippling silence
Slip between the sheets
Stealthy compliance
Den of lying snakes
2 faced junky social mores
Mandrake concentrate
I'll give you ******** sores
Shadow whisper breaking chalice
Burning candle blackened malice
Casting circles weeping callous (don't get mad)
Voodoo pinning devil jealous (get even)
first light a fire
next wicked speak
burn singe the hair
vex seal with spit
I am your sweet regret
With protective shell
Gently drag you down
though this dirty hell
Blood brothers, narcissism
Duplicity isn't new
spit sisters, egotism
Watch me while I throttle you
Full of frailty
Growing desperate
To insanity
Pervert flesh on a plate
Scream out treachery
Everyone likes to look
They just want to see you
Dancing on a meat hook
Dance of darkness beats
Spent words misconstrued
Under dermis seethes
Entertainment for the few
Mouth loaded with a gun
Trap door with vocal chords
God puppet beats a drum
Entertainment for the bored
Zombie doll with wings
Feasting on rot
Evil siren sings
cast the fat lot
Vulture rip away
Scavenging parasite
Full blown soul decay
Under the silver knife

That might be true, sometimes I wonder if those lyrics are meant to be poetry or are just like that to be disturbing. I guess it's up to the listener to decide if it's poetry or not.

Many songs are originally poems that have been assimilated into a musical score. America performs "Horse With No Name", Donovan sings "Jabberwocky", and Don McLean sings "Vincent" - three prominent examples.

Is it not a delightful tune?
Most songs ought to be easily converted into poetry in any case, as songs are generally written in blank verse, or otherwise in an established meter. The chorus becomes a refrain, and all is complete.
As an aside, it is not necessary to quote me when I am a single post above. I am quite able to understand to whom you are replying.

Since we've had the "Listening to Music While Reading" thread going, it may be a good time to revisit this thread. : ) This is a song that I just cannot stop listening to on my cd player. I think it qualifies as poetry and is very inspirational. "Fix You" by Coldplay
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
