Here's a song for ya, Steely. from Montréal's
Arcade Fire.
lyrics:
"They heard me singing and they told me to stop
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface
'Cause on the surface the
city lights shine
They're calling at me, "
Come and find your kind" "
...
"Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights"
