10 Songs For When You Realise You Will Die Poor, Alone and Unloved

Happy Friday.

Hey Hey What Can I Do - Led Zeppelin
Timeless message:
Women will only cheat on you and hurt you.
Key Lyric:
In the bars where the men play guitars
Singin' drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does the midnight shift
She balls around all of the time

Time - Pink Floyd
Timeless message:
You are ageing with every passing second and will die before you accomplish anything of note.
Key lyric:
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush
Timeless message:
If you're unemployed, you might as well be dead.
Key lyric:
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Mother - Pink Floyd
Timeless message:
Your parents are evil and the world is a horrible, scary place.
Key lyric:
Hush now baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your
Nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here
Under her wing
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama will keep baby cosy and warm
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe
Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall

Oh Well (Part 1) - Fleetwood Mac
Timeless message:
If you're a complete failure, there's always misanthropy.
Key lyric:
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing I aint pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Porcelain - Moby
Timeless message:
She never wanted you.
Key lyric:
Tell the truth you never wanted me
Tell me

High and Dry - Radiohead
Timeless message:
The only way you will achieve anything is by selling out and compromising on your principles.
Key lyric:
You'd kill yourself for recognition.
Kill yourself to never ever stop.
You broke another mirror.
You're turning into something you are not

Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix
Timeless message:
There has yet to be a problem that was so great that it couldn't be solved with a firearm.
Key lyric:
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand, oh
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man

Hurt - Nine Inch Nails
Timeless message:
You will never be good enough for the people you care for.
Key lyric:
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

Mad World - Tears For Fears
Timeless message:
We are all sheep, merely going through the motions of our boring lives to avoid thinking about our inevitable deaths.
Key lyric:
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
