What about Leonard Cohen? I often find it very hard to make sense of his 
lyrics. He started out as a poet and it shows. Although often a single 
sentence does not make sense in it's context, the whole still conveys a 
feeling. That and that he had no choice but to be born with a golden 
voice makes it interesting to listen to him.

On a related topic, I am sort of glad his manager ran away with the money.
