Not a fan of Costello but 'Pump It Up' is a brilliant song and probably the only one I like. As for New Waves 'finest lyricist' I personally think guys like Nick Lowe, David Byrne & Tom Verlaine are ahead of Costello in that field. Anyone ever noticed the similarity between Graham Coxon (of Blur) and Costello? He must have been one of Coxon's biggest influences!
Phish- Billy Breathes (1996)

Just revisiting one of my favourite albums. I personally think this is Phish's greatest achievement and despite my earlier thoughts it is actually quite popular. Probably thier most accessible album but there are some really beautiful songs such as 'Waste' and tracks with a slightly bluesy feel like 'Character Zero'. Basically, any other Phish album I've heard hasn't matched up to this one.
Free (this was their most successful single):

^This is my favourite song from the album, the lyrics on it are fantastic, especially the opening lines;
"Don't want to be an actor pretending on the stage
Don't want to be a writer with my thoughts out on the page
Don't want to be a painter 'cause everyone comes to look
Don't want to be anything where my life's an open book
A dream it's true
But I'd see it through
If I could be
Wasting my time with you
Don't want to be a farmer working in the sun
Don't want to be an outlaw always on the run
Don't want to be a climber reaching for the top
Don't want to be anything where I don't know when to stop
A dream it's true
But I'd see it through
If I could be
Wasting my time with you
So if I'm inside your head
Don't believe what you might have read
You'll see what I might have said
To hear it
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
So if I'm inside your head
Don't believe what you might have read
You'll see what I might have said
To hear it
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me"
