- The Doors, Been Down So Long
- "Well, I've been down so goddamn long / That it looks like up to me."
- Marina & The Diamonds, Oh No!
- "Don't do love, don't do friends / I'm only after success / Don't need a relationship / I'll never soften my grip / One track mind, one track heart / If I fail, I'll fall apart."
- The Smiths, Cemetary Gates
- "Keats and Yeats are on your side / But you lose because Wilde is on mine."
- The Smiths, Bigmouth Strikes Again
- "Oh, sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking / When I said by rights you should be / Bludgeoned in your bed / And now I know how Joan of Arc felt / As the flames rose to her roman nose / (...) And I've got no right to take my place / With the Human race."
- The Doors, People Are Strange
- "People are strange when you're a stranger / Faces look ugly when you're alone / When you're strange / No one remembers your name."
- Morrissey, I Don't Mind If You Forget Me
- "I don't mind if you forget me / Having learned my lesson / I never left an impression on anyone / Rejection is one thing / But rejection from a fool / Is cruel."
