I always liked "Red Barchetta" by Rush.
"My uncle has a country place, that no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm, before the motor law
And on sundays I elude the eyes and hop the turbine freight
To far outside the wire, where my white-haired uncle waits.
Jump to the ground
As the turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind,
As excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me, an old machine ---
For fifty-odd years
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream
I strip away the old debris, that hides a shining car
A brilliant red barchetta, from a better, vanished time
I fire up the willing engine, responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime...
Wind in my hair ---
Shifting and drifting ---
Mechanical music ---
Adrenalin surge ---
Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware
Suddenly, ahead of me, across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air-car shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires, to run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase
Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope, Ive got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded
At the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle
At the fireside..."
Could be some fun imagery there.
"Unforgiven" by Metallica could be moody and interesting if done right.
"New blood joins this earth
And quikly hes subdued
Through constant pain disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on hes known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will theyll take away
What Ive felt
What Ive known
Never shined through in what Ive shown
Never be
Never see
Wont see what might have been
What Ive felt
What Ive known
Never shined through in what Ive shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub the unforgiven
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
Hes battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
What Ive felt
What Ive known
Never shined through in what Ive shown
Never be
Never see
Wont see what might have been
What Ive felt
What Ive known
Never shined through in what Ive shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub the unforgiven
You labeled me
Ill label you
So I dub the unforgiven"
You could have a lot of fun with "Hate My Life" by Theory
"So sick of the hobos
Always beggin' for change
I don't like how I gotta work
And they just sit around and get paid
I hate all of the people
Who can't drive their cars
Bitch, you better get out of the way
Before I start falling apart
I hate how my wife
Is always up my ***
She always wants to buy brand new things
But I don't have the cash
(Refrain)
Well I hate my job, all my rich friends
I hate everyone to the bitter end
Nothing turns out right, there's no end in sight
I hate my life
How come I never get laid?
Nice guys always lose
How could she have another headache?
There's always some kind of excuse
I still hate my job
My boss is a ****
I don't get paid nearly enough
To put up with all of his ****
-(Refrain)-
I hate my job, all my rich friends
I hate everyone to the bitter end
Nothing turns out right, there's no end in sight
I hate my life
-Musical Interlude-
I hate that I can't tell
When a girl's underage
And how when I tell her she's a nice piece of ***
Then her daddy punches me in the face
So if you're ****** like me
******, here's what you've gotta do
Put your middle fingers up in the air
Go on and say '**** you'
-(Refrain)-
I hate my job, all my rich friends
I hate everyone to the bitter end
Nothing turns out right, there's no end in sight
I hate my life
So much at stake
Can't catch a break
I hate my life
No there's nothing new
And it sucks to be you
I ****** hate my life
****
