Bright Eyes – Saturday As Usual
„Daddy’s in the backyard
His hands are getting dirty
And mom is in the kitchen
And her cake says that I’m thirteen
Another year
My brother went to college
To become a doctor
And if he studies hard enough
He’ll end up just like father
Who hates his life
And me, I’m in the bathroom
Crying out my eyelids
Because it’s hard to be a man
When you are scared like a little kid
The world has become a little too mean
And I can’t see the point of patient love
When everyone just wants to get fucked“
Billy Bragg – Tank Park Salute
„I closed my eyes and when I looked
Your name was in the memorial book
And what had become of all the things we planned
I accepted the commiserations
Of all your friends and your relations
But there’s some things I still don’t understand
You were so tall
How could you fall?“
