Robert Gordon - Red Hot - "doodley" as in "doodley squat"

Dead Can Dance - "American Dreaming". Uses both "surreptitious" and "somnambulistic".
Dead Can Dance - The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove. Doesn't use "ubiquitous" but has the phrase "Dream on my dear and renounce temporal obligations".
Christian Death - This Is Heresy. Has the phrase "Your church makes me vomit into the vertiginous abyss". [:D]

"asunder," as in
"unaware I'm tearing you asunder" from "Running Up That Hill" - Kate Bush
I love that word.

Anything from the Cocteau Twins! [:D]
Toyah from I Want to Be Free "Tear Down the Abbatoirs"
Toyah - in Demolition Men she mentions concrete "plinths" quite a bit.
Jane Siberry - Bound by the Beauty "The Verdant Green."
I really hope they're unusual & it's not that I hang around people with limited vocabulary...
