Name That Tune

Ok. This is a long-time fave band of mine. Given the time of year, I thought the sentiment is quite apt:

If you wake up and don't want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way.
 
If I had my way
I'd take a boat from the river
Men go crazy in congregations
They only get better one by one
 
Hint--

If I had my way
I'd take a boat from the river
And I'd bury the old man
I'd bury him at sea

Blessed are the poor
For they shall inherit the earth
One is better to be poor
Than a fat man in the eye of a needle
As these words were spoken
I swear I hear the old man laughing
What good is a used up world,
And how could it be worth having?

---
This song was released as a single December 1990. The music is upbeat in contrast to the lyrics. It is about a young man at his father’s deathbed; instead of Catholic last rites, he wants to bury his old man at sea. The river is a symbol of continuity.
 
Okay try this one.....

''How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin
How long before you decide or
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine''

Coldplay with "Speed of Sound"??

Sorry that I messed up last time.:eek: Have played this game on another page, but they did it a bit different. But I think I understand it now.
 

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true

The brackets are correctly placed. And your answer is correct. Your turn!
 
OK...

But you work in a shirt with your name tag on it
Drifting apart like a plate tectonic
It don't matter to me
'Cos all I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar

I know what this is but I'm not going to say lol
 
Correct! I guess it was pretty obvious to anyone who's read the other thread (mentioning no names *cough* CDA *cough*)

Your turn, Baddie!
