Unfortunatly unable to fit on all album tracks and b-sides but picked a choice bunch of songs from their fine catalogue.
I think GAWI takes some beating personally :)

A clear winner for me would be Like No Other, but without that on the list I'll go with For You. (should have been called Meet On The Street)
I didn't vote for it (although I should have) but Twisted Tenderness is a fuckin brilliant song. As good as anything NO have done since Technique
voted Getting away with it, although I love Vivid and Twisted Tenderness as well, and When she's gone, and Feel every beat, and .... I think I like them most of them actually.
yeah, as the bandwagon trundles past i'm standing by with my hand poised and ready and going with GAWI, as well. rather sweet lyrics, i've always thought.
"Disappointed," "Feel Every Beat," and "Reality" aren't on there, so I chose "Gangster," which I have been listening to almost every day, since it just seems like such a catchy song, although some of the lyrics don't make much sense. Also, speaking about Electronic, has anyone heard of this song called "Living in sin"? I downloaded it a week or so ago, and its decent, but is it an electronic song? I found it when I searched for Electronic on Kazaa. Strangely, the lyrics aren't here.
Basically, this poll shows you that Barney is a lot better lyricist than people ive him credit for
Fuckin good selection of tunes there Brasco.
I have to say Forbidden City has the best lyrics in my opinion......but, there are loads of cracking lyrics on the list above, I love the lyrics to Vivid & Haze from TT, likewise Second Nature from RTS, and there are loads of crackers from the first album.
GAWI is good, just not as good as Forbidden City.
There's not a hope while you're in this kind of mood, too much to drink, I havnae had any food, you tore me apart, by making no supper, I really think it's time we should say goodbye, and it's too late for cheese on toast, get outa my flat you fookin twat

I've heard reprts that you drink, and take drugs most of the time
Went with Getting Away With It, but only just, ahead of Twisted Tenderness. Good call on that one King Eric.
And nice avatar, by the way!!!!! :evil2:
flicker, no doubt about it. i love it. it´s a protest song, anti war, anti UN, anti saddam, anti everything! my favourite kind of lyric :D

I'll go along with you on that one.

The track is called Get the message.

Some of the Electronic lyrics are phenomenal so im inclined to agree... and on numerous interviews he states how he had more freedom to express his ideas without the democracy of a group structure around him, therefore the lyrics probably flowed out a lot more unchecked (with a little help from Prozac no doubt ;) )
While "Some Distant Memory" is indeed my favorite Electronic song, however it isn't quite the lyrical masterpiece. In fact, there's not that much lyrics to the song. I went with "Time Can Tell" since "Visit Me" was not on the list. How could you leave off "Visit Me"? 
Hard decision. I picked Vivid. That's good stuff. I was trying to make an "essential" stuff compilation and wanted to put Vivid on in the Electronic slot. I don't know, though, I'm still thinking about it. Maybe One Day instead?
I forgot the title but it goes like this:
Is it a perfect situation, I know it's hard to understand Is it still infatuation between a woman and a man?
What fabulous lyrics!! I still love them and I'm infatuated with the beat they go along to.
'Time Can Tell', though not the VERY best track from 'Raise The Pressure', has some nifty lyrics none the less

This song is called 'Try All You Want', my favourite cut from the debut album
