Songs that could stand as poetry
Bob Dylan - All Along the Watchtower
Jethro Tull- Thick as a Brick
Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Procol Harum- A Whiter Shade of Pale
Led Zepplin- Stairway to Heaven
The Beatles- Across the Universe
The Band- The Weight
Cream- White Room
What comes to mind for me are lyrics that come from a Canadian band, RUSH, who wrote Closer To The Heart . Stand-alone poetry methinks.
Then of course is Tom Sawyer ... love it.
Thinking also of Neil Young, with his lyrics to the incredible music of Harvest Moon.
And, although often 'off colour', the NIN lyrics to a whole lotta songs. But poems, nonetheless. Luv it.
