Riding through the city on my bike all day.
Cause the filth took away my license.
It doesn’t get me down and I feel okay.
Cause the sights that I’m seeing are priceless.
Everything seems to look as it should.
But I wonder what goes on behind doors.
A fella looking dapper and he’s sittin with a slapper.
Then I see it’s a pimp and his crack whore.

You might laugh, you might frown.
Walkin’ round London town.
Sun is in the sky.
Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky.
Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
When you look with your eyes.
Everything seems nice.
But if you look twice.
You can see it’s all lies.

Lily Allen (2006), Alright, Still

Feeling like a freak on a leash.
You wanna see the light?
Feeling like I have no release.
So do I.
How many times have I felt diseased?
You wanna see the light?
Nothing in my life is free, is free.

Freak on a Leash
Korn (1998), Follow the Leader

Skeleton we have been friends for years.
And you have seen me through some trials.
And tribulations and some tears.
But everybody thinks I’m weird.
And I should have known.
That it wouldn’t be long.
Until you, you’ve got me standing in an awkward position.
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation.
And it’s not that I’m letting go of you.
But I don’t know what to do.

Skeleton Song
Kate Nash (2007), Made of Bricks

I rode right back across Arkansas.
I whupped her brother and I whupped her Pa.
I found that girl with the golden hair.
She was riding on a Tennessee Mare.

Pretty little baby on the cabin floor.
Little horse colt playing round the door.
I loved the girl with the golden hair.
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare.

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean.
The colour of the sun and his eyes were green.
He had the nerve and he had the blood.
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud.
