I'll jump on the band wagon for The White Stripes. I like Jack, I like how he keeps everything in context. And Little Acorns is really a song that some people live by.

I'm going to say Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree. Here is a part of Deadwing, from the album Deadwing of 2005.

Like a cancer scare
In the dentist's chair
Sucking in the air
Wire across the stair
Kicking down the door
At your local store
With the world at war
Voices through the floor
Unexpected news
Wearing high heeled shoes
Blowing out the fuse
Paying all your dues
Deadwing lullaby
Like a fracture tied
It's a worthless lie
To the public eye

Here is the entire song called Lazarus, also off of Deadwing.

As the cheerless towns pass my window I can see a washed out moon through the fog
And then a voice inside my head breaks the analogue
And says "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul"
I survived against the will of my twisted folk
But in the deafness of my world the silence broke
And said "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul"
"My David don't you worry This cold world is not for you So rest your head upon me I have strength to carry you"
(Ghosts of the twenties rising Golden summers just holding you)
"Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul Come to us Lazarus It's time for you to go"

Possibly the coolest songwriter I have ever listened to. Period. I seriously seriously recommend this band and writer to everyone.

Maynard, his lyrics are always miles deeper than they appear at first glance.
