I like James Murphy too, but I'm unsure whether or not to count him as a great lyricist. His lyrics are so simplistic but resonate with me a great deal. I suppose that's his genius; the ability to say as much as possible in as few words as possible, without sounding trite. _________________ If you're reading this, that probably means that I had something to say.
