Great lyrics from otherwise ignored or maligned pop artists...
Advertisements [?]
I was standing in the shower the other day, and the following lyrics came into my head. The artist is someone who's often written off (if I say much more I'll give it away, and I want to see if anybody can guess):

Sapphires aren't enough to buy me happiness.
Diamonds don't demand me -- they're just for looking.


I've always thought that was a great line, and there were lots more. Sadly, that wasn't what got all the attention, and many of the good lyrics got lost in the shuffle.

So, any 'above and beyond the call of duty' lines or songs from artists who 'sold out' later, whose mode or success has earned them contempt, whose careers crashed and burned after that wonder hit?

Oh, yeah -- and by the way -- who wrote them lyrics and what song are they from?
