Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell
I’m just an average man with an average life
I work from 9 to 5, hey, hell I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone and
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
And I have no privacy
Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Tell me is it just a dream
When I come home at night
I bolt the door real tight
People call me on the phone I’m trying to avoid
Well, can the people on TV see me or am I just paranoid
When I’m in the shower, I’m afraid to wash my hair
‘Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there
People say I’m crazy, just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much, that’s why
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
And I have no privacy
Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Who’s playin’ tricks on me
[Who’s watching me] I don’t know anymore are the neighbors watching me
[Who’s watching] Well, is the mailman watching me
[Tell me who’s watching]
And I don’t feel safe anymore, oh, what a mess
I wonder who’s watching me now [Who] the IRS?
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
And I have no privacy
Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Tell me is it just a dream
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
And I have no privacy
Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Who’s playin’ tricks on me
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me, ooh
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me [Who’s watching me]
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me, ooh
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me [Who’s watching me]

How do you get that lonely? by Blaine Larson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28FYBvuGGl8
It was just another story printed on the second page
Underneath the Tiger's football score
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
They found him face down on the bedroom floor
They found him face down on his bedroom floor
There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone...
How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
How do you get that lonely... and nobody know
Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun?
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol?
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son?
Did no one see the writing on the wall?
I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can
I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand...
How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
How do you get that lonely... and nobody know

Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

I can relate to this White Stripes song so well,
http://youtube.com/watch?v=nDfsYnjrOtw
She was sixteen and six feet tall
In a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo
She stumbled started to slip and fall
Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
I happened to catch her and said,
"maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"
Maybe for you, now
But not as shaky as I must have seemed
Talkin' junk through her giggle, little teenage dream
And on the phone I could not compete
My dumb-love fake competence was getting weak
For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet
But sure 'nough in a gruff, faint voice
I heard myself speak
[Chorus:]
I could stay a while
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we could share a kiss
But I feel like I can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone
Leave you alone, now
I'm beginning to like you
So you probably won't get what I'm going to do
I'm walkin' away from you
It probably don't make much sense to you
But I'm trying to save you
From all of the things that I'll probably say or do
I'll probably do
[Chorus:]
I could stay a while
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we might share a kiss
But I feel like a can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone
Leave you alone, now
You'll probably call me a fool
And say I'm doin' exactly what a coward would do
And I'm beginning to like you
It's a shame what a lame way to live
But what can I do?
I hope you appreciate what I do
I'm a martyr for my love for you
A martyr for my love for you, now
A martyr for my love for you
A martyr for my love for you

Echo and the Bunnymens song "The Killing Moon"seems to come to mind.. Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...

Red Hot Chili Peppers - My Friends ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H70hhJaFHu4 )
My friends are so depressed
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide...'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will
Ex-girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her seven years
For being sad
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
Imagine me, taught by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said was something beautiful
To give your love no matter what
Is what she said
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
I like the Chemical Brothers' "Alive Alone". Simply, "I'm alive, I'm alone, and I never wanted to be either of those."

Bracket has tons of songs I can relate to.
Bracket - Warren's Song Pt. 20
Mp3 Here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QJPSCX4D
How does it feel to be me
Sadness dulls everything that I see
Watching my life waste away
Tomorrow will be just like any other day
And I can't wait
I want my life to improve
Anxieties cripple my every move
Nowhere to go so I'll stay
Forgetting that time is running out for me
Tell me I'm not alone
It's all I've ever known
Look at the brighter side
But I can't when I'm trying to hide
That's what it means to be me
Nowhere to go when pain is all I ever see
Tell me I'm not alone
It's all I've ever known
Give me a better way
To make my days pass away
Forever's not too long
String me along
-----------------------
Bracket - Hermit
Mp3 here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z9DMBZW9
I keep on thinking that I've
seen it all before
I can't see through the shades
It's getting hard for you to know me anymore
I'm hiding from the days
And I want to keep all of my privacy
And keep it to myself
A circle of friends in my memory
I hope they're doing well
I saw sunshine yesterday
I looked to the sky
Then I ran back inside
I saw sunshine yesterday
It blinded my eyes
It made me realize
That I'm not missing anything
I'm drawing pictures of myself on the wall
They're not that flattering
I'm singing songs that I've never heard at all
And singing out of key
Please uncle, please show me
what I should do now
Please uncle, please show me
Show me the way out
I'm scraping all I can from the bottom of a jar
So I don't have to leave
I'm keeping shelter from a giant burning star
That isn't kind to me
-------------------------
I recommend their Warren's songs!

I’m a big fan of The National, I think all their songs have an avoidant kind of feel.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz5pskaTNJU
Slow Show
Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
a little more stupid, a little more scared
every minute more unprepared
I made a mistake in my life today
everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
way out of sync from the beginning
I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking of my dick
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my $#%^ together, better gather my $#%^ in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other
I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it
You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
for twenty-nine years
You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
for twenty-nine years
