The Animal Song - Savage Garden
This one by Savage Garden is definitely more appealing in its entirety.
When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
the television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I’ve got to break away
So take my hand now…
…Sometimes this life can get you down
It’s so confusing
There’s so many rules to [...]
Affirmation - Savage Garden
Ok, maybe not the whole song but some of the points made by Savage Garden are very objective, in this song.
I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people’s hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it’s bad for you
I believe your parents did [...]
Apni Marzi Se Kahaan Apne Safar - Jagjit Singh
Rukh Hawaon ka jidhar ka hai…
Diye Jalte hain
Just a little something from Ghalib
Aah ko chahiye ik umr asar hone tak

Bhule hain unhein rafta-rafta mudatton mein hum
Qishton mein khudkushi [...]
Bob Dylan - Blowin’ In the Wind
Hear the song. Just a hint for you, “Blowin’ in the wind” is just plain ambiguous. In my not-so-humble opinion, if you can read the lyrics, hear Bob sing, and “listen” to what he has to say, you will never support stupid inflammable stuff, like wars and religion.
How many roads must a man walk down

Who Wants To Live Forever - Queen

I Want To Break Free - Queen
No introduction needed. I want to break free by Queen. Period.
Sayoni - Junoon
sayonee (O friend!)
chain eek pal nahi (there isnt a single moment of peace)
aur kohi hal nahi (there is no solution to this)
kaun moray muhaar (who will rein the horse)
koi saawal nahi (there is no horseman)
kya bashar ke bisaat (what’s the guarantee of life)
aaj hai kal nahi (life is not perpetual)
chor meri khataa (let go of [...]
