Smokie - "Living Next Door to Alex"

um:

Come on and hear (2x), Alexander's Ragtime Band,
Come on and hear (2x), it's the best band in the land!
They can play a bugle call like you never heard before,
So natural that you want to go to war--
That's just the bestest band what am, Honey Lamb!
Come on along (2x), let me take you by the hand
Up to the man (2x), who's the leader of the band,
And if you want to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime
Come on and hear (2x), Alexander's Ragtime Band!

Underworld - two months off
"There was a little drawing of a heart next to that,
followed by an exclaimation mark.
The back of his was covered in stuff... stuff like:
Brandon is not a very nice guy, but Alex is sooo nice.
And that had the exclaimation thing too.
It was just silly crap that hit the spot. And he let himself be drawn in. "

Arcade Fire, "Neighborhood #2 (Laika)"

Alexander, our older brother,
set out for a great adventure.
He tore our images out of his pictures,
he scratched our names out of all his letters.

Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!

Come on Alex, you can do it.
Come on Alex, there’s nothin’ to it.
If you want somethin’ don’t ask for nothin,
if you want nothin’ don’t ask for somethin’!

Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!
It’s for your own good,
it’s for the neighborhood!

Our older brother bit by a Vampire!
For a year we caught his tears in a cup.
And now we’re gonna make him drink it.
Come on Alex don’t die or dry up!

Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!
It’s for your own good,
it’s for the neighborhood!

When daddy comes home you always start a fight,
so the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights.
The police disco lights.
Now the neighbors can dance!
Look at ‘em dance.
