Talking Head - Psycho Killer I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
You start a conversation you can't even finish it.
You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?

Baby, you're a rich man
(Bonus points for whomever identifies the connection)
I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

HOLYCHILD - Money all around
Make me talk or set me free
Tell me who I'm meant to be
Fake originality
Everyone is nothing
I have my money all around
Just take your clothes off, make me proud
I have my money all around
You look me up I'm crawling down
In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home
Was ich kann und was ich könnte
(What I can do and what I could do)
Weiß ich gar nicht mehr
(I just don't know anymore)
Gib mir wieder etwas Schönes
(Give me something beautiful again)
Zieh mich aus dem Meer
(Pull me from the sea)

hey pig
yeah you
hey pig piggy pig pig pig
all of my fears came true
black and blue and broken bones
you left me here; I'm all alone
my little piggy needed something new
nothing can stop me now
'cause i don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
'cause i don't care

Aguas de Março (Waters of March)
-- composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim, and sung by Bebel Gilberto (daughter of the legendary João Gilberto).
Hey pretty Don't you wanna take a ride with me?
Through my world
Hey pretty
Don't you wanna kick and slide
Through my world
Well I've got a mind full of wicked designs
I've got a non-stop hole in my head-imagination
I'm in a building that has two-thousand floors
And when they all fall down I think you know it's you they're fallin' for
I can't forget I am a soul architect
I built the shadows here
I built the growl in the voice I fear
You add it up but to do better than that
You've got to follow me

Erm...
The Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
For there were no more lovers left alive
No one had survived
So there were no more lovers left alive
And that's why love had died

Erm... not sure how the last two are linked. You'll have to explain that one.
But given those lyrics...

Joe --> Poe --> The "Po Po" .
You'll just have to explain this tenuous link if you want a reply of how my song links to the 1 above yours.
She, she told me that she loved me,
And like a fool I believed her from the start.
She, she said she'd never hurt me,
But then she turned around and broke my heart
Why am I standing here,
Missing her and wishing she were here.
She only did me wrong;
I'm better off alone.
She, she devoured all my sweet love,
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt.
She, she laughed while I was cryin'.
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.

The Perfect drug - NIN
I see the truth when I'm all stupid-eyed
The arrow goes straight through my heart
Without you everything just falls apart
My blood just wants to say hello to you
My soul is so afraid to realize
How very little there is left of me
And I want you

For the joy that you give to me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
Makin' me strong
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and...
