Nick Drake: Place to Be
When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you
When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you

On a really strong KPop / Apink vibe lately.

Day day
Now I'm feeling
힘들어 힘들어 힘들어 baby
I'm a liar
Do you love me"

Lights - We Were Here
"That we were here (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Running 'round, pack of hounds
Young bloods burning it down
That we were here (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Setting flames, taking names, just 'cause we own the town
We gonna write it solid as gold
We're gonna make it, so they gonna know
That we were here (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, we were here (yeah, yeah, yeah)
We were here"

Do You Realize - Flaming Lips
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

You mentioned Kant and I was shocked ( so shocked )
No , where I come from , none of the girls have such foul tongues

And it didn't even bring me down
"Ol' Man River" by Oscar Hammerstein II (music: Jerome Kern). Yes I know that the language used in the song is dated and not very PC anymore, but what a great line this is:
A'hm tired of livin'
An' skeered of dyin'
Sam Cooke later sort of said the same thing in his wonderful "A Change Is Gonna Come":
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
That's the age-old dilemma; what's going to happen (if anything) when we die? Nobody knows; some people only think they do.

"Pennies for Heaven"
Chasing the carrion, we watched the silver bird explode
We tiptoed through the barrier of smoke and took our hand
We found it unconnected, we were dining on the wreckage
White napkins round our necks, we took our plastic spoons and ate
We ate until we couldn't move 'til sunset turned the desert red
And startled souls ascended to oblivion
[Chorus: Paradise, it has its price, we're forced to crawl through needles eyes
Our price our choice we rarely make the right one]
A fat man with a guilty face
Held back and tried to hide his case
As angels chanted, "You can't take it with you."
So we're told
Heavens paved with gold
And it has to come from somewhere
[Chorus]
"The Third Secret"
New martyrs swinging in the wind
The dead eyes searching for messiahs in the stars
The bodies carrying the scars of no confession, no concession, no sympathy
The laughter from the front row buzzing loudly now in bars
Over chicken in a basket, in the darkest corners of the Central Station
Passing round the spirit that drove Rommel to his desert hole
Smashed diamonds, stripped the gold from hidden cities in Brazil
And killed the savage in the name of Mary
Burn the witch, whip the bitch who shows her ankles on the Sabbath
Bring the kids aged 1 to 63, the family treat
Maybe there will be a vision of messiahs in the stars
Now all confess and make a wish
The priest is passing round the dish
[Chorus: Our Lady's selling tissues for the tears
For all the years of blessed rape in the name of our sweet lord]
"Cheraderama"
Colliding in the stroboscope
Yes now you see me, now you don't
Tonight I'm dressed in black
I mourn the death of colour
Hopeless, crying in my wine through happy hour
Trace the lines that crawl across my face, round my eyes
Watch the ballerinas fly on powder clouds through six dimensions
Seeing just the pattern on the wall
[Chorus: Choose your masks and raise your armour
Eyes down for Cheraderama!]
Cold eyes searching for a space
That's warm enough to take them through the night
There's only black and white
Express, we never touch, only press
Can taste the desperation in your breath
I swear that I'll protect you
If you'd only look into my eyes
[Chorus]
[From the Legendary Pink Dots.]

Strong & Free
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

And it didn't even bring me down
"We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters. Has any other song expressed the hopes and dreams of a young couple in love (or newly-weds, whatever) better? Especially in these two verses (BTW, this is a tune I'd never dare to sing in karaoke, with that modulation and all...)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly

And when the evening comes, we smile

(And yes, we've just begun)

Seems I didn't reply to this. The New Order song, not the Joy Division song.

Springsteen-Downbound Train
Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran 'til I thought my chest would explode
There in a clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard
I burst through the front door, my head pounding hard
Up the stairs, I climbed
The room was dark, our bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head, and cried
Cash-Train Of Love
Train of love's a-leaving, leaving my heart grieving
But early or late, I sit and wait, because I'm still believing
We'll walk away together, though I may wait forever
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam
But everybody's baby but mine's coming home
My Best-Carey

I've always had high regards for Green Day's ability to rhyme something with methanphetamine in the song Geek Stink Breath.
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
Намеченной жертвы распростёртый клюв
Затраченных усилий захудалый гнев
Очередь за солнцем на холодном углу
Я сяду на колёса,ты сядешь на иглу
Отрыгнув сомненья,закатав рукав
Нелегко солдату среди буйных трав
Если б он был зрячий — я бы был слепой
А если б я был мёртвый — он бы был живой
Так обыщи же моё тело узловатой рукой
Заключи меня в свой параличный покой
Меня не застремает перемена мест
Стукач не выдаст,свинья не съест
По больному месту да калёным швом
По открытой ране да сырой землёй
Из родной кровати да в последний раунд
Из крейзовой благодати да в андеграунд
Намеченной жатвы распростёртый взгляд
Утраченных иллюзий запоздалый гнёт
Очередь за солнцем на холодном углу
Я сяду на колёса — ты сядешь на иглу.
Translation:
From the targeted prey with an outstretched beak
Of the spent efforts, with all of their run-down wrath
A line for the sun on the ice-cold corner
I'll sit on the pills, you'll sit on a needle
After puking out the doubts, rolling up the sleeve
Not easy for a soldier among restless grass
If he were to have sight -- I would've been blind
And if only I were dead -- he would be alive
Just like that, search my body with a knotted hand,
Incarcerate me into your paralyzed rest
I am not fazed by changing places
The snitch won't expose me, the pig won't eat me
Onto the sore spot with a burning-hot seam
Onto an open wound with damp dirt
From the dear bed and into the final round
From the crazed grace and into the unde'ground
The targeted harvest's widespread gaze
Wasted illusions the late one bends
A line for the sun on the ice-cold corner
I'll sit on the pills -- you'll sit on a needle.
