If I want depressing, I listen to Radiohead. Although they actually lift me up if I'm depressed.

I think his happy lyrics had a lot to do with what got me into him in the first place. He sort of celebrates life a lot...it's a nice refresher from the constant "love loss," or "you don't understand me" kind of bullshit most people sing about.
Hell, even his love songs are pretty unorthodox. Crash is about a stalker. Say Goodbye is a great love song I think.

Yeah, I went with happy. BTCS is a pretty dark album in comparison to the others, but for the most part Dave's lyrics make me happy.
"Every dog has its day, every day has its way of being forgotten, Mom its my birthday, what would you say?"
If that doesn't make you smile I don't know what does.

I went with depressing, probably because I have been listening to the LWS a lot lately. On the whole though its probably around 50-50.

one thing amazing about dmb is that they can create their own mood for a song which can be a mixture of feelings, unlike many other bands of today, like said before who sing about the same bullshit that sounds the same.
