The Syntax album was much better in lyrical sense.
some songs i like i have on my hd with good words:
thievery corporation featuring david byrne: the heart's a lonely hunter
lcd soundsytem - north american scum
louie austen - hoping (herberts high dub):

le tigre - deceptacon (remix or original) and well well well also a good one:

john dahlback - everywhere:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=D7DDDD120RU
scott ferguson - any day now (electro-vox remix)
thats all for now it would take me long time to go through all of mine. some cheesy, some are serious. first one is my favorite because it speaks about my life right now.

Yeah, even if they're an electronic pop act in a broader sense, some of their songs are quite dancy.

brilliant songwriting but rob would be the first person to write off the 'dance music' title. he absolutely loathes the genre.

Yea most of the lyrically great trance songs are remixes of another genra - im thinking stuff like wayoutwest - mindcircus and sarah mclachlan - fallen.
There are some exceptions though - i think that the lyrics from Paul Van Dyk - New York City are amazing
I watch the sky turn black to blush
Head still spinning from the rush
Of all the things I did the night before
And looking down from my hotel
These dawn-lit streets begin to fill
With memories of you and I
On a New York City night
On a New York City night
I shake my head to clear the sounds
The traffic horns, the gowing crowd
The sun awaking over Central Park
But still it creeps beneath my skin
All of these heartbeats begin to din
With concrete dreams stirring to life
On a New York City night
And I take it with me when I leave
The crowded skyline, the energy
The sleepless city always leaves its mark
Just close my eyes and I'm back again
The neon flush upon our skin
still wrapped in thoughts of love and wine
On a New York City night
