I've just found some songs with interesting lyrics for all those with songwriting on their mind. Shows you what you can do with a bit of imagination, at least more than I have, but it might give someone an idea of what's possible.

Moonlight and Me by The Legendary Tendermen Starts at 22.53 on the streaming audio timeline (not the time that's shown on the play lislt)
It's Tom Waits meets/The Third Man Theme/We Three Kings/a bit of wishful thinking about peace/a train song/ all with Australian overtones. It's different!
While you're there, the first track in the program also has interesting lyrics (and a good tune) by Thrashing Marlin (a New Zealand group) who also do an interesting version of John Cale's Ship of Fools at timeline 28.00.
It's only available at this site for another day or so, so if you're interested check it out now.
btw "tired and emotional" is code for 'drunk' in Australia
One good thing about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain - Bob Marley
