The lyrics to Generator by the Holloways bring joy to my soul:



I can get a record player, and a generator. Generate the music that makes you feel better.



i dont live in poverty, i got a little bit of money and i've got a healthy body. I'm not going to let stuff get me upset, and i wont let all the little things get me depressed.



when i was a young boy i got a stereo and i taped all the songs straight off the radio.



the sounds that the bands made, and the melodies is all i need to make me feel free.



sometimes you get so low, you don't know why, or a little upset all inside. May i remind you? that you don't live in poverty, you got your youth, and you got food in your belly.



I sometimes you get so low, you don't know why, and you get a little unsettled inside. May i remind you? that you don't live in poverty, you got your youth, and you got a roof over your head.

That's quite nice. One I've been hooked on lately is "Trains to Brazil" by the Guillemots where Fyfe sings,



"For those of you who mourn your lives from one day to the next, well let them take you next. Can't you live and be thankful you're here? See it could be you tomorrow or next year."
