This is a random entry but Nick Cave is one of the greatest artists (in my opinion) of our modern era. He is an author, poet, philosopher and musician. He is the only musician to ever reject his MTV nomination as being the nonsense it is.

I came to woo you at behest of
Uncle Leo, did my best
To charm and Hatter, sooth, lay thoughts
Of scheming Saxon Prince to rest.
Just seventeen, you were emboldened,
Turned away plain Orange boy
And made for me a consort haven
In your heart, haven of joy.
Now Empire spills a growing blot
Across the atlas, leaves its mark.
The hands of men in iron ships stoke
Their boilers, fan the spark.
Generous in deed and promise, our
Emissaries make fair trade
And pay with sovereign Queenly coin for goods
And worldly fortunes made.
We will win them and contain them,
Not by Enneld Pattern gun:
No hard coercion, whip or stick but
Ten good shillings to be won.
See, we offer contracts clear in
English, plain as it appears
In small print, some trifling matters:
Not important, never fear.
Pax Britannica, Pax Britannica, rules
The headland and the wave.
Hansa spirit will enrich us, keep
Us from an early grave.
Sweet Victoria, Mother England,
Gracious queen whom God will save.
We'll leave them gifts of architecture,
Engineering, laws and more.
The willow bat, the bowler hat of
Gentlemen who keep the score.
Head-up code of moral conduct,
Never minions to deceive.
Straight the ball and, best ofall, when
Time is come, we take our leave.
Pax Britannica, Pax Britannica, rules
The headland and the wave.
Hansa spirit will enrich us, keep
Us from an early grave.
My sweet Victoria, your dearest Albert;
Two ledger lines above the stave.

Lyrics

Consider the lilies of the field
Solomon dressed in royal robes, has not the worth of them
Consider the lilies of the field
He takes after each and every need, leave all your cares behind
Seek him and you will find Your Father loves you so

Consider the creatures of the air
For all of the diamonds in all the earth have not the wealth of them
Consider the creatures of the air
Jehovah loves them with tender hand, He knows your every care
His touch is always there to see you through the night

And Jehovah I love You so
And Jesus I want You to know
All You've done for me to set me free
I'll never let You go

And Jehovah I love You so
And Jesus I want You to know
All You've done for me to set me free
I'll never let You go

Consider the lilies of the field
For how much more does He love His own? If Yahweh cares for them
Consider the creatures of the air
He takes after each and every need
If we ask Him for bread, will He give us a stone?
Jehovah loves His own

And Jehovah I love You so
And Jesus I want You to know
All You've done for me to set me free
I'll never let You go

And Jehovah I love You so
And Jesus I want You to know
All You've done for me to set me free
I'll never let You go

And Jehovah I love You so
And Jesus I want You to know
All You've done for me to set me free
I'll never let You go

And Jehovah I love You so
And Jesus I want You to know
All You've done for me to set me free
I'll never let You go

And Jehovah I love You so
And Jesus I want You to know
All You've done for me to set me free
I'll never let You go

And Jehovah I love You so
And Jesus I want You to know
All You've done for me to set me free
I'll never let you go

And Jehovah I love you so
And Jesus I want you to know
All you've done for me to set me free
I'll never let you go

Never let you go
Never go
