Damien Rice – 9 Crimes Lyrics 15 years ago
Besides the melodic attraction, a song that can draw so many interpretations is clearly a great song. So, here are my thoughts:

I see Lisa as Damien's conscience. The song doesn't feel like they are opposing each other, but rather Damien is feeding from Lisa's words until their lyrics become one. The song starts with Damien and Lisa singing separately, but they gradually coalesce until their voice is one in the final verse. I think this represents Damien listening (and ultimately agreeing) with his inner self (i.e. Lisa).
