    Steve Winwood/While You See A Chance

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKH8rxRo6ao

    Stand up in a clear blue morning
    Until you see what can be
    Alone in a cold day dawning
    Are you still free?
    Can you be?

    When some cold tomorrow finds you
    When some sad old dream reminds you
    How the endless road unwinds you
    While you see a chance take it
    Find romance, fake it
    Because it's all on you

    Don't you know by now
    No one gives you anything?
    Don't you wonder how you keep on moving
    One more day?
    Your way
    Ooooooooh, your way

    When there's no one left to leave you
    Even you don't quite believe you
    That's when nothing can deceive you
    While you see a chance take it
    Find romance, fake it
    Because it's all on you

    Stand up in a clear blue morning
    Until you see
    What can be
    Alone in a cold day dawning
    Are you still free?
    Can you be?

    And that old gray wind is blowing
    And there's nothing left worth knowing
    And it's time you should be going

    While you see a chance take it
    Find romance
    While you see a chance take it
    Find romance
    While you see a chance take it
    Find romance
    While you see a chance take it
    Find romance
    While you see a chance take it
    Find romance

    Bruce Springsteen with Tom Morello/The Ghost Of Tom Joad (live)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-c6GphpAeY

    Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
    Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
    Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
    Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
    Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
    Welcome to the new world order
    Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest
    No home no job no peace no rest

    The highway is alive tonight
    But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
    I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
    Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad

    He pulls prayer book out of his sleeping bag
    Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
    Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
    In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
    Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
    You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
    Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
    Bathin' in the city aqueduct

    The highway is alive tonight
    But where it's headed everybody knows
    I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
    Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad

    Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
    Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
    Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
    Look for me Mom I'll be there
    Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
    Or decent job or a helpin' hand
    Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
    Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."

    The highway is alive tonight
    But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
    I'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light
    With the ghost of old Tom Joad

    Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young/Carry On

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP0VBB7BO64

    One morning I woke up and I knew
    you were really gone
    A new day, a new way and new eyes
    to see the dawn
    Go your way, I'll go mine
    and carry on

    The sky is clearing and the night
    has cried enough
    The sun, he come, the world
    to soften up
    Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice
    but to carry on

    The fortunes of fables are able
    to sing the song
    Now witness the quickness with which
    we get along
    To sing the blues you've got to live the dues
    and carry on

    Carry on
    Love is coming
    Love is coming to us all

    Where are you going now my love?
    Where will you be tomorrow?
    Will you bring me happiness?
    Will you bring me sorrow?
    Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams
    What you do and what you see
    Love, again, you talk
    to me.

    Girl when I was on my own
    chasing you down
    What was it made you run
    trying your best just to get around?
    The questions of a thousand dreams
    What you do and what you see
    Love, again, you talk
    to me.

    Crosby, Stills and Nash/Wasted On The Way (live)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJgNxBbkmzQ

    Look around me
    I can see my life before me,
    running rings around the way
    it used to be

    I am older now,
    I have more than what I wanted
    But I wish that I had started
    long before I did

    And there's so much time to make up
    everywhere you turn
    Time we have wasted on the way

    So much water moving
    underneath the bridge
    Let the water come and carry us away

    Oh when you were young
    did you question all the answers?
    Did you envy all the dancers
    who had all the nerve?

    Look around you now
    You must go for what you wanted
    Look at all my friends who did and got what they deserved

    So much time to make up
    everywhere you turn
    Time we have wasted on the way

    So much water moving
    underneath the bridge
    Let the water come and carry us away

    So much love to make up
    everywhere you turn
    Love we have wasted on the way

    So much water moving
    underneath the bridge
    Let the water come and carry us away

    Let the water come and carry us away

    This is one of my favs from Meat Loaf, Wasted Youth/Everything Louder. The spoken into is Jim Steinman and is actually a song in it's own right " love and death and the American guitar" but Meat put them together.

    "I know that I will never be politically correct"- words I live by also

    " a wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age" amen

    RATM - Killing In The Name - the pre-chorus and the end refrain, pretty obviously.

    *Contains swearing at the end*

    At the start of my fade I used to listen to RATM's first album an awful lot at work. As pumped up and angry as I was about my past, I do not recommend listening to aggressive furious music at the top of a triple-extension ladder... came pretty close to falling off a few times!

    Iron Maiden - Wasted Years - the chorus especially. I always loved this song back from school days, but I hadn't listened to it for years and got back into them through a girlfriend last year. When I put this track on, the chorus (and the solo) brought me to tears. A powerful message.

    Björk - Declare Independence - lyrically this is very much about independence on a national level, but it has a broader application. Plus it's one of the most powerful and aggressive songs I know, both musically and vocally. And I like the video (and love Björk to the point of obsession!).

    "Damn colonists - Ignore their patronizing - Tear off their blindfolds - Open their eyes"

    This last one is often too much for a lot of people ^^

    As you can see I like the heavier stuff =)
