Red Sparowes are pretty bad for this. The tracklist for Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun, for instance:
1. "The Great Leap Forward Poured Down Upon Us One Day Like a Mighty Storm, Suddenly and Furiously Blinding Our Senses." 7:00 2. "We Stood Transfixed in Blank Devotion as Our Leader Spoke to Us, Looking Down on Our Mute Faces with a Great, Raging, and Unseeing Eye." 8:55 3. "Like the Howling Glory of the Darkest Winds, This Voice Was Thunderous and the Words Holy, Tangling Their Way Around Our Hearts and Clutching Our Innocent Awe." 10:08 4. "A Message of Avarice Rained Down Upon Us and Carried Us Away into False Dreams of Endless Riches." 7:11 5. ""Annihilate the Sparrow, That Stealer of Seed, and Our Harvests Will Abound; We Will Watch Our Wealth Flood In."" 8:43 6. "And by Our Own Hand Did Every Last Bird Lie Silent in Their Puddles, the Air Barren of Song as the Clouds Drifted Away. For Killing Their Greatest Enemy, the Locusts Noisily Thanked Us and Turned Their Jaws Toward Our Crops, Swallowing Our Greed Whole." 1:42 7. "Millions Starved and We Became Skinnier and Skinnier, While Our Leaders Became Fatter and Fatter." 9:55 8. "Finally, as That Blazing Sun Shone Down Upon Us, Did We Know That True Enemy Was the Voice of Blind Idolatry; and Only Then Did We Begin to Think for Ourselves."

I'll post this on behalf of a good mate of mine who doesn't often frequent this particular niche of RM.
The Pimps do this quite well.
"We Were Too Drunk To Be On The Roof Anyway" "That's A Really Nice Thing To Say Todd" "You're Awfully Bossy, Even For A Dominatrix" "Would It Have Killed You To Leave A Suicide Note?"

Té: Thus, The Echoes Free Of Interpretation Speak The Abyss Of A "Sonic" World. A1 The Act Of Ceasing After Acknowledging One's Own Limit Is Called "Intelligence". A2 Idea Tends Not To Show What We Choose To See, Instead, Shows What We Like To "See". A3 Anxiousness Is Not About The Circumstances, But Is An Entity That Exists In The "Thoughts" Of The Corresponding Minds. A4 Avarice Speaks In All Tongues, "Acts" Out Every Role, And Even "Acts" As The Generous. A5 True "Imitation" Exposes The Actual Ridiculous And Boring Nature Of The Original Work. B1 Dark Imagery "Habitually" Works Much Adamantly Compared To Bright Light. B2 True Eloquence "Exists" In Silent Expressions, Leaving Words Purposeless. B3 Wrath Kills Fools, And Envy Torments Foolish The Life Of Idiots At Every "Instant". B4 Hope Makes Promises, While Fear "Accomplishes" The Promises. B5 Reality Is "Far" Interesting Than Fantasies. That Which Resonates Through The Universe "Sings" Realistic Sound. C1 Even The Mightiest Soul And The Mightiest Power Meet To Nothing Without Intellect. C2 Even The Most Beautiful Melody Does Not "Remain" In The Heart Without Diction. C3 Love And Faith Can Be "Sustained" Only Through Daily Modest Dedication. C4 Those Who Do Not Depend On The Future Have The Power To "Face" The Future With Steadiness. C5 Boldness Is The Offspring Of Ignorance And Contempt And Is Far "Inferior" To Any Quality. D1 Those Who Play Music With Words Are No Talents But Mere Mementos. D2 Temperance And Justice Is A Deceptive "Gambit" Used By Chauvinists. D3 When The Mind Loses Its Goals, It Tends To "Create" False Outlets. D4 Nobody Is Entitled To Be "Called" Blessed Without Suffering. D5 Human "Own" The Potential To Destroy Oneself With Rationality. Furthermore, When The Mind Meets All Senses, All Matters Converge To The Ultimate "Music". E1 Humans Are Born As Free Creatures, Shackled Down By "Chains" At Every Turn. E2 Most Part Of Trust Is "Born" From The Self-Confidence Within. E3 Dream Is A Euphemistic Term For "Lies" Used To Sugarcoat Mediocre Life. E4 One Endures For A Hopeful Future, But "Fears" Changes. E5 Weakness Is A Shame, Whether It Calls For Action Or "Endurance". E6 Inspections By The Clairvoyant Justify True "Value". F1 Songs Are Mere "Lamentations" For The Aesthetically Deprived And The Lonely. F2 Humans "Possess" Enough Strength To Overcome Others' Misfortunes. F3 Reason Desires Fair Judgment, While Wrath "Desires" Judgment To Look Fair. F4 Do Not Look For A Meaningful Encounter, But Look For The "Meaning" In Each Encounter. F5 I Want To Lull Someone To Sleep. I Want To Sit By Someone And "Sing". F6 'Do As You Please,' Whispered "Freedom", A Pseudonym Of "Threat".
