Leonard Cohen is really hard to beat. There are a few as good as him, though.
"When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned"
(Sisters of Mercy)
"When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come."
(Waiting for the Miracle)
