Your favourite songs that have the singer doing a spoken word monologue?
I think 'My Sister' by the Tindersticks wins the top prize for me. Superb storytelling, real poetic turns of phrase, excellent backing music and a guest spot from Isobel from Drugstore.
Honourable mentions to 'What's he building in there?' by Tom Waits and everything ever released by Meanwhile, Back in Communist Russia. Oh and lots of Arab Strap counts too I guess.
You?
