Is something wrong, she said. Well of course there is. Youre still alive, she said. Oh, and do I deserve to be. Is that the question? And if so, if so, who answers?
Someone to hold you too close, Someone to hurt you too deep, Someone to sit in your chair, And ruin your sleep, And make you aware of being alive, Being alive.
In Dublin's fair city Where girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone She'd wheel her wheelbarrow Through streets broad and narrow Singing "Cockles and mussels, Alive, alive-o!"
Heather, that's the one! Last night when I put this up and then fell into bed, I remember thinking I should wake up and play "Cockles and Mussels." I woke up, looked at the word, and thought I did not know one single song with "alive" in it.
I guess I slept well!
Okay, here's an obscure one:
See a hundred and twenty-nine snakes alive See the bees make honey in the glass beehive At Uncle John's Original Fantascinatin' Roadside Stand
(I don't remember the singers, but I have the album, somewhere up there in my vast and dusty collection. And I might be wrong about the number of snakes.)
It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive. I want to find one face that ain't lookin' through me. I want to find one face - I want to spit in the face of these Badlands!.... --Bruce Springsteen

I, oh, I'm still alive.
Alive by Pearl Jam
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter, he was after Texas Red
Big Iron
Marty Robbins
Someone to hold you too close,
Someone to hurt you too deep,
Someone to sit in your chair,
And ruin your sleep,
And make you aware of being alive,
Being alive.
-from Sondheim's "Company"
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
Dead or alive
-Bon Jovi
Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
In Dublin's fair city
Where girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
She'd wheel her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Singing "Cockles and mussels,
Alive, alive-o!"

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, staying alive, staying alive
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, staying ali-i-i-ive
Sorry, I don't know any of the other words. =)
I'm alive
and the world shines for me today...

I want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive
"Natural Woman," Carole King
Wish I could stop,
Switch off the clock,
Make it all happen for you.
I'm alive, so alive.
I'm Alive ~ Love and Rockets
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
But you'll never know
For a Dancer
Jackson Browne
all right, at five minutes to midnight,
we see our name in city lights.
we'll make the clock stop,
make your heart drop and come alive.
[boys like girls - five minutes to midnight]

But you're still alive,
there's a face in the mirror,
still alive, the dead don't bleed
"Still Alive" -leslie fish
Stay until your love is
Alive and Kicking

someone to draw you right,
someone to catch the light,
I'm alive
I'm alive

Their amazing new CD: Hey Ma
I've married many men, a ton of them
Because I've been untrue to none of them
Because I bumped off every one of them
To keep my love alive
Rogers & Hart
Now it's over, I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do
TMBG
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive
- You Oughta Know, by Alanis Morissette
