Mick and Keith write in the same English tradition as Keats, Shelley and Byron. Their work is sometimes mundane but mostly exquisite.

for example from Blinded by Rainbows:

G
Did you ever feel the blast
C
as the semtex bomb goes off,
D
do you ever hear the screams,
C
as the limbs are all torn off?

G
Did you ever kiss the child,
C
who just saw his father shot,
D
do you ever shed a tear,
C
as the war drags on and on?.............

Brings a tear to my eye when I hear Mick's Plaintive wail.
