Oh, yes!
In a similar vein, there is a thread called Books worth learning a language for. I'd definitely say that Leonard Cohen's lyrics are worth learning English for. Pure poetry!
My favorites are:

Great songs. Thanks for the link :)
If you look around in the web, there is a collection of all the best Hallelujah covers. You can't get enough of that song.
