    I Want to Break Free, by Queen, and poignantly, brilliant, sung by the late Freddie Mercury RIP

    and, John Lennon, Mother

    Mother, you had me
    But I never had you
    I wanted you
    But you didn't want me
    So
    I got to tell you
    Goodbye
    Goodbye

    Father, you left me
    But I never left you
    I needed you
    But you didn't need me
    So
    I just got to tell you
    Goodbye
    Goodbye

    Concrete Jungle by Bob Marley. Just replace the words "concrete jungle" with "Watchtower jungle" and the words make perfect sense.

    No sun will shine in my day today; (no sun will shine)
    The high yellow moon won't come out to play:
    (dancing yellow moon won't come out to play)
    I said (darkness) darkness has covered my light,
    (and has changed) And has changed my day into night, yeah.
    Where is the love to be found? (oo-ooh-ooh)
    Won't someone tell me? 'Cause life (sweet life) must be somewhere to be found -
    (has got to be out there somewhere for me)
    Instead of [Watchtower] jungle (jungle! jungle! jungle!)
    Where the living is hardest ([Watchtower] jungle!).
    Watchtower jungle (jungle! jungle! jungle!):
    Man you got to do your ([Watchtower] jungle!) best. Wo-ooh, yeah.

    No chains around my feet,
    But I'm not free, oh-ooh!
    I know I am bound here in captivity;
    Oh now - (never knowing) never knowing what happiness is;
    (never, know) never knowing what sweet caress is -
    Still, I'll be always laughing like a clown;
    Oh someone help me 'Cause I (sweet life) -
    I've got to pick myself from off the ground
    (has got to be out there somewhere for me), he-yeah! -
    In this here [Watchtower] jungle (jungle! jungle! jungle!):
    I said, what do you got for me ([Watchtower] jungle!) now, o-oh!
    [Watchtower] jungle (la la-la!), why won't you let me be ([Watchtower] jungle!), now.
    Hey! Oh, now!

    I said that life (sweet life) - must be somewhere to be found
    (out there somewhere for me)
    Oh, instead of [Watchtower] jungle (jungle!) - illusion ([Watchtower] jungle!) -
    Confusion ([Watchtower] jungle!) Eh!

    [Watchtower] jungle (jungle! jungle! jungle!): you name it we've got it in.
    [Watchtower] jungle ([Watchtower] jungle!), now. Eh!
    [Watchtower] jungle (jungle! jungle! jungle!).

    "Inside you feel it taking over
    It's taking over
    When you feel it most
    It draws you in and tears it away
    It tears it away
    Then it leaves you lost"

    Of my time IN : What A Waste - Ian Dury -

    "I could be a lawyer with stratagems and ruses
    I could be a doctor with poultices and bruises
    I could be a writer with a growing reputation
    I could be the ticket man at Fulham Broadway station

    What a waste
    What a waste
    What a waste
    What a waste"

    Of waking up to the folly of it all : "Change My Way of Thinking " - Bob Dylan

    "Gonna change my way of thinking
    Make myself a different set of rules
    Gonna change my way of thinking
    Make myself a different set of rules
    Gonna put my good foot forward
    And stop being influenced by fools"

    Towards the end, when I no longer believed, I'd think of Pink Floyd while at the meetings:

    You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying

    My Namesake- A Rush tune, BU2B short for "Brought up to Believe"

    "BU2B"

    I was brought up to believe
    The universe has a plan
    We are only human
    It's not ours to understand

    The universe has a plan
    All is for the best
    Some will be rewarded
    And the devil will take the rest

    All is for the best
    Believe in what we're told
    Blind men in the market
    Buying what we're sold

    Believe in what we're told
    Until our final breath
    While our loving Watchmaker
    Loves us all to death

    In a world of cut and thrust
    I was always taught to trust
    In a world where all must fail
    Heaven's justice will prevail

    The joy and pain that we receive
    Each comes with its own cost
    The price of what we're winning
    Is the same as what we've lost

    All is for the best
    Believe in what we're told
    Blind men in the market
    Buying what we're sold

    Believe in what we're told
    Until our final breath
    While our loving Watchmaker
    Loves us all to death

    Until our final breath
    The joy and pain that we receive
    Must be what we deserve
    I was brought up to believe

    Until our final breath
    The joy and pain that we receive
    Must be what we deserve
    I was brought up to believe

    All is for the best
    Believe in what we're told
    Blind men in the market
    Buying what we're sold

    Believe in what we're told
    Until our final breath
    While our loving Watchmaker
    Loves us all to

    Believe in what we're told
    Until our final breath
    While our loving Watchmaker
    Loves us all to
    Loves us all to death http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHuAsQW0RDA
