Without the examples (haven't got time for that in any way), just a few examples of great lyrics off the top of my head (there's hundreds of songs with great lyrics):
Dust In The Wind - Kansas
Daily Nightly, Pleasant Valley Sunday, (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone - The Monkees
A Day In The Life, Let It Be, The Long And Winding Road, Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da, Rocky Raccoon, The Fool On The Hill, etc. etc. &c. - The Beatles
Piano Man, Allentown, She's Always A Woman To Me, Captain Jack, We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel
Fuzzy, Jupiter & Teardrop, Dixie Drug Store, Lone Star Song, Mockingbirds, Mighty Joe Moon, Lady Godiva And Me, Honey Don't Think, Rock Of Ages, Arousing Thunder, Bethlehem Steel, Better For Us - Grant Lee Buffalo
Return To Love, Mona Lisa, Waking Memory, Lily-A-Passion, Calamity Jane, Hickory Wind, Folding, Heavenly - Grant Lee Phillips
Phantom Of The American Mother, I Confess, Crank, Pain, Strange Fruit, Show Me Mary, Black Metallic, God Inside My Head, Heal, Eat My Dust You Insensitive Fuck, Judy Staring At The Sun - Catherine Wheel
Who? Where? Why?, Right Here, Right Now, Are You Satisfied?, Blissed, Move Mountains, Info Freako, In The Face Of All This, Zeroes And Ones, The Devil You Know, Magazine, The Right Decision, Idiot Stare, February, They're Out There, Halfway House - Jesus Jones
No One Is To Blame - Howard Jones
Think Of Laura - Christopher Cross
Synchronicity 2, King Of Pain, Every Breath You Take, Wrapped Around Your Finger - The Police
In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
36 Degrees, Nancy Boy - Placebo
Black - Pearl Jam

Gah, forget it...there's just too many to go through all of them. I could easily bring up dozens upon dozens more from dozens of artists.

A lot of Beefheart and Dylan songs come to mind (too many to name). If I had to choose one, I would say "Old Fart at Play" and "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), respectively.
