1…. What It's Like - Everlast "Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll I'm the man you've been dreaming of." But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls And she swears, "God damn, If find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls." then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes 'cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose." 2...Touch and Go - The Lightning Seeds "Oh was it star-dust or just lust Well one touch is just not enough Faces change but somewhere in the passing crowd The face you just can't live without Nothing changed but nothing seems the same Remembering a thousand things I meant to say The past's a sea of boys and girls Who disappeared without a word All friends of mine who had their time, then drifted away..." 3...Headmaster Ritual - The Smiths "Belligerent ghouls Run Manchester schools Spineless swines Cemented minds Sir leads the troops Jealous of youth Same old suit since 1962 He does the military two-step Down the nape of my neck..." 3...The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin "It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before. It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low. It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom. Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune. Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from time to time." 4...Civil War - Guns n Roses "My hands are tied The billions shift from side to side And the wars go on with brainwashed pride For the love of God and our human rights And all these things are swept aside By bloody hands time can't deny And are washed away by your genocide And history hides the lies of our civil wars" 5...One in Ten - UB40 "My arms enfold the dole queue, Malnutrition dulls my hair, My eyes are black and lifeless With an underprivileged stare I'm the beggar on the corner Will no-one spare a dime I'm the child that never learns to read Because no one spared the time. I am a one in ten a number on a list, I am a one in ten even though i don't exist. Nobody knows me, but im always there, A statistic a reminder of a world that doesn't care." 6...Jesus of Suburbia - Green Day "I read the graffiti In the bathroom stall Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall And so it seemed to confess It didn't say much But it only confirmed that The center of the earth Is the end of the world And I could really care less." 7...Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd "There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ships smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb." 8...Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd "And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" 9... Sail Away - David Gray "Crazy skies all wild above me now Winter howling at my face And everything I held so dear Disappeared without a trace Oh all the times I've tasted love Never knew quite what I had Little Darling if you hear me now Never needed you so bad Spinning round inside my head." 10...Young Americans - David Bowie "Have you been an un-American? Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout Leather, leather everywhere, and Not a myth left from the ghetto Well, well, well, would you carry a pistol In case, just in case of depression Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors Blushing at all the Afro-Sheeners Ain't that close to love? Well, ain't that poster love? Well, it ain't that Barbie doll Her heart's been broken just like you have." 11...Nightswimming - REM "Nightswimming, remembering that night September's coming soon I'm pining for the moon And what if there were two Side by side in orbit Around the fairest sun? That bright, tight forever drum Could not describe nightswimming." 12...Southern Cross - Crosby Stills and Nash "When you see the Southern Cross for the first time, You understand now why you came this way, 'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small, But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day. So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a-dyin', And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain. I have my ship and all her flags are a-flyin'. She is all that I have left and music is her name." 13...Changing of The Guards "Gentlemen, he said, I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes, I've moved your mountains and marked your cards But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards."
