Colin Hay – Beautiful World Lyrics 20 years ago
yes! it reminds me of The Stranger a whole lot. I both heard this song first this summer, and I also had to read the book.

I like sleeping with marie
I like drinking irish tea
I like swimming in the sea

Lines 17 - 23 disagree, though.

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony – 1st of tha Month Lyrics 20 years ago
I might be completely wrong, but I think the song is being sarcastic. I seriously don't know a lot about the culture (though I DO like the song), but with the constant Wake Ups it feels more like he's describing the first of the month as a good thing, but in such a way that it seems... so crappy. Wake up, do something for yourself, collecting welfare won't get you anywhere is what I feel this song tries to convey.

My two cents.
