Okay try these, possibly my favourite artist...
Well I'm about to get sick
From watchin' my TV
Been checkin' out the news
Till my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friend
Is anybody's guess, so I'm
Watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear `em sayin'
There's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay the trouble
Comin' every day
Wednesday I watched the riot
Seen the cops out on the street
Watched `em throwin' rocks & stuff & chokin'
In the heat
Listen to reports
About the whisky passin' `round
Seen the smoke & fire
And the market burnin' down
Watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To stomp & smash & bash & crash & slash &
bust & burn
And I'm
Watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear `em sayin' that there's
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

The aliens are coming wait for me I'm coming along, it's right on,
Yes they're coming wait for me while I get my gun, bang bang,
What'd you do that for, they were only here to meet us, you don't know,
You don't know that, they could've been coming to beat us.
Didn't bleed red,
Didn't bleed red,
Didn't bleed red,
Better off dead.
Yes sir they've been sighted and we're putting down to land, we're in command,
They've been sighted I don't think they understand, that's out of hand,
What we do now then we were only here to tell them, I don't know,
Can't be too careful or go on what the hell then.
Didn't bleed red (x3)
Better off dead (x4)
Didn't bleed red.
They must be so inhuman when you hear of what they've done, or so it's said,
People hate them 'cos they say their blood is blue instead of red,
What'd they do that for? Can't do anything to please them, it must be true,
Open all targets, waiting for the season.
Didn't bleed red (x3)
Better off dead (x4)
Didn't bleed red.
They never asked for you to come,
They never asked for us to stay,
They never asked for our advice in any shape, form or way,

One of my fave songs of his was F#@k yourself, pretty cool guitar playing, pretty sure it was Steve Vai but could be wrong

come sit beside me, my only son/
listen closely to that I say/
and if you do this it will help you some sunny day/
boy take you time don't live too fast/
troubles will come and they will pass/
find a woman and you'll find love/
and don't forget son there's someone up above/
forget your lust of the rich mans gold/
all that you need is in your soul/
and you can do this if you try/
all that i want for you my son, is to be satisfied/
dont you worry you'll find yourself/
follow your heart and nothing else/
you can do this if youtry/
all that i want for you my son is to be satisfied/

The terrible thing about Hell
Is that when you're there, you can't even tell
As you live through this life you love so
You could be there and not even know.
But you'll say, so what? I'm doing just fine
The irony is that it's all in your mind.
Oh well. Here's one that's a little more "mainstream." I'll even give you a clue. This is from 1970, and it's from this band's first album. The band was very popular in the 70's, and the lead singer went on to an EXTREMELY successful solo career and is still performing to this day.
Now the first day that I met you
I was looking in the sky
When the sun turned all a-blur
And the thunderclouds rolled by
The sea began to shiver
And the wind began to moan
It must have been a sign for me to leave you all alone.
I was born without your favor, but my demons were a little bit to strong.
You never said you love me
And I don't believe you can
'Cause I saw you in a dream and you were with another man
You looked so cool and casual
And I tried to look the same
But now I've got to love you
Tell me who am I to blame
I was born without your favor, but my demons were a little bit too strong.
Now the whole wide world is moving
'Cause there's iron in my heart
I just can't keep from crying
'Cause you say we've got to part
Sorrow grips my voice
As I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
A love I've never known.
I was born without your favor, but my demons were a little bit too strong.
I'm looking for a song title and the name of the band. If nobody gets them, I'll give you the answer to both of these "tough ones" at 5:00 my time (that's 9 hours away).
