It's friday afternoon and I'm bored, can anyone guess this lyric?

life is hard
and so am I
you better give me something
so I don't die
pain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................

    Pink and brown babies
    In pink stroller cars
    know that it's good
    they don't care where they are
    they know that home doesn't feel very far...

    When I walk myself down sycamore street
    The sun beats down, no shoes on my feet

    Name that song! :D

    Too easy, you'll have to try harder
    A Daisy Through Concrete

    How about

    If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
    you win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
    The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
    I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
    pain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................

    The Ace of Spades!

    neewww newww newww newwww newwwww... :D

    OK, I was trying to keep the eels theme going! Now I'll stop...

    EDIT: first one too easy and not a good riding song - changed it!

    You'd better make your face up in your favourite disguise
    With your button-down lips and roller-blind eyes
    With your empty smile and your hungry heart,
    Feel the bile rising from your guilty past.
    With your nerves in tatters
    When the cockleshell shatters
    And the hammers batter
    Down the door.

    Let's see if this one thwarts the search engines.

    Easy....

    And you may ask yourself
    How do I work this?
    And you may ask yourself
    Where is that large automobile?
    And you may tell yourself
    This is not my beautiful house!
    And you may tell yourself
    This is not my beautiful wife!
