    For me, it must be this apt stone roses classic.

    Im on a tightrope baby
    9 miles high
    Stridin' through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky
    I'm on a tightrope baby, one thing I've found
    I don't know how to stop it, it's a
    Long, long, long, long way down

    Her Ghost in the fog by cradle of filth.

    ""The Moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait
    soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
    as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
    and the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
    But on, no tears please
    Fear and pain may accompany Death
    But it is desire that shepherds it's certainty
    as We shall see..."

    She was divinity's creature
    That kissed in cold mirrors
    A Queen of Snow
    Far beyond compare
    Lips attuned to symmetry
    Sought Her everywhere
    Dark liqoured eyes
    An Arabian nightmare...

    She shone on watercolours
    Of my pondlife as pearl
    Until those who couldn't have Her
    Cut Her free of this World

    That fateful Eve when...
    The trees stank of sunset and camphor
    Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
    An imquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
    On my love picking rue by the light of the moon

    Putting reason to flight
    Or to death as their way
    They crept through woods mesmerized
    By the taffeta Ley
    Of Her hips that held sway
    Over all they surveyed
    Save a mist on the rise
    (A deadly blessing to hide)
    Her ghost in the fog

    They raped left...
    (Five men of God)
    ...Her ghost in the fog

    Dawn discovered Her there
    Beneath the Cedar's stare
    Silk dress torn, Her raven hair
    Flown to gown Her beauty bared
    Was starred with frost, I knew Her lost
    I wept 'til tears crept back to prayer

    She'd sworn Me vows in fragrant blood
    "Never to part
    Lest jealous Heaven stole our hearts"

    Then this I screamed:
    "Come back to Me
    I was born in love with thee
    So why should fate stand inbetween?"

    And as I drowned Her gentle curves
    With dreams unsaid and final words
    I espied a gleam trodden to earth
    The Church bell tower key...

    The village mourned her by the by
    For She'd been a witch
    their Men had longed to try
    And I broke under Christ seeking guilty signs
    My tortured soul on ice

    A Queen of snow
    Far beyond compare
    Lips attuned to symmetry
    Sought Her everywhere
    Trappistine eyes
    An Arabian nightmare...

    She was Ersulie possessed
    Of a milky white skin
    My porcelain Yin
    A graceful Angel of Sin

    And so for Her...
    The breeze stank of sunset and camphor
    My lantern chased Her phantom and blew
    Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain
    Best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...

    Putting reason to flight
    Or to flame unashamed
    I swept form cries
    Mesmerized
    By the taffeta Ley
    Or Her hips that held sway
    Over all those at bay
    Save a mist on the rise
    A final blessing to hide
    Her ghost in the fog

    And I embraced
    Where lovers rot...
    Her ghost in the fog

    Her ghost in the fog"

    Probably not but its a funny mental image.

    I've Got A Feeling
    With The Wrong People
    And I Can't Control My Thoughts

    I Wish That I Could Sleep
    And Just Get This Over With
    ...This Is Only High School Bull****...

    I Just Want To Feel

    I Was Warned
    Absolutley Numb
    No Good Around People
    Everyone Knows And Watches Me

    How Did I Get Here Tonight?
    What Am I Doing Here?
    How Did I Reach This State?
    How Did I Lose My Sight?

    I'm Lost ... I'm Freaking
    And Everybody Knows ... Everyone's Watching

    ...So Here's All My Hopes And Aspirations
    Nothing But Puke

    As he watches his party and cabinet disintegrate he might be singing the chorus of Paula Coles "Where have all the Cowboys gone"
    Where is my Willy O'Dea
    Where is my prairie son
    Where is my happy ending
    Where have all the cowboys gone

    Why don't you stay the current term
    Kick back and watch the oireactheas report
    And I'll fix a little something to eat
    Oh I know your back hurts from working on the Cabinet
    How do you take your Pay-off my former cabinet colleagues
    I will rule the country if you pay all the debts

    I only changed it a little to suit him better

    the real chorus
    Where is my John Wayne
    Where is my prairie son
    Where is my happy ending
    Where have all the cowboys gone

    Why don't you stay the evening
    Kick back and watch the TV
    And I'll fix a little something to eat
    Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
    How do you take your coffee my sweet
    I will raise the children if you pay all the bills

    The Doors "The End"


    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end

    Of our elaborate plans, the end
    Of everything that stands, the end
    No safety or surprise, the end
    I'll never look into your eyes...again

    Can you picture what will be
    So limitless and free
    Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
    In a...desperate land

    Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
    And all the children are insane
    All the children are insane
    Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

    Dido "White Flag":


    I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
    Or return to where we were

    I will go down with this ship
    And I won't put my hands up and surrender
    There will be no white flag above my door
    I'm in love and always will be

    I know I left too much mess and
    destruction to come back again
    And I caused nothing but trouble
    I understand if you can't talk to me again
    And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
    then I'm sure that that makes sense

    I will go down with this ship
    And I won't put my hands up and surrender
    There will be no white flag above my door
    I'm in love and always will be

    And when we meet
    Which I'm sure we will
    All that was there
    Will be there still
    I'll let it pass
    And hold my tongue
    And you will think
    That I've moved on....

    I will go down with this ship
    And I won't put my hands up and surrender
    There will be no white flag above my door
    I'm in love and always will be

    I will go down with this ship
    And I won't put my hands up and surrender
    There will be no white flag above my door
    I'm in love and always will be

    I will go down with this ship
    And I won't put my hands up and surrender
    There will be no white flag above my door
    I'm in love and always will be.
