What is your favorite song that actually tells a story?

I admit I saw this elsewhere but I thought it might be a good thing to put here because honestly I look and listen to songs people post. I am always entertained and it opens my mind to many different avenues of musical tastes I have not known before. I hope ones like this column.

    Yup....great line, has kept philosophers, theologists, atheists, Bible book writers, people facing death, busy since time and thinking has begun....
Gotta’ be one of the most thought provoking lines in pop music ever....
....except for wondering who put the pomp in the pomp sh’pomp sh’bomp, and who put the ram in the ram a lama ding dong (sarc)
