The song Avarice by Disturbed reminds me of the early Lionel. However, the song Breakinf the Habit by Linkin Park reminds me of the new Lionel of season six.

I know this forum is older, but I'm new, I just ran across it and have two I had to post.
This first one sounds a lot like Lionel, or to a lesser degree Lex, and the actions that they take over the course of the show. The cynicism of the song, and the person in it just reminds me of them.
"Mr. Businessman", by Ray Stevens
Itemize the things you covet
As you squander through your life
Bigger cars, bigger houses
Term insurance for your wife
Tuesday evenings with your harlot
And on Wednesdays it's your charlatan
analyst, he's high upon your list
You've got air conditioned sinuses
And dark disturbing doubts about religion
And you keep those cards and letters going out
While your secretary's tempting you
Your morals are exempting you from guilt and shame
Heaven knows you're not to blame
(CHORUS
You better, Take care of business Mr. Businessman
What's your plan?
Get down to business Mr. Businessman if you can
(Before it's too late and you throw your life away) 1st time
Did you see your children growing up today
And did you hear the music of their laughter
As they set about to play
Did you catch the fragrance of those roses in your garden
Did the morning sunlight warm your soul,
Brighten up your day
Do you qualify to be alive
or is the limit of your senses so as only to survive
Hey yeah.....
Spending counterfeit incentive
Wasting precious time and health
Placing value on the worthless
Disregarding priceless wealth
You can wheel and deal the best of them
And steal it from the rest of them
You know the score, their ethics are a bore
Eighty-six anesthetic crutches prop you to the top
Where the smiles are all synthetic
And the ulcers never stop
When they take that final inventory,
Yours will be the same sad story everywhere
No one will really care, no one more lonely than
This rich important man, let's have your autograph
Endorse your epitaph
(CHORUS)
As for this one, the idea of it just makes me think of Lionel. It's all about getting to the very top, and finding out that despite having everything, there's now a great big whole inside your soul.
"Mr. Big", Icehouse
When he's dancin', baby, knows just how to move
When he's in a jam, he knows just what to do
He's talking', baby, knows just what to say
Think what you want, he don't care anyway
But something is missing, Mr. Big...Something is missing, Mr. Big...
You can see him, yeah he's always on the town
And he's dressed to kill he always looks so fine
When he wants to walk he'll walk all over you
He don’t do the things that little people do
But something is missing, Mr. Big...So what's the problem, Mr. Big...
Don't look so happy, Mr. Big...Ooh, something is missing, Mr. Big...
Uh uh yeah...
(Mr., this is Mr. Big! Mr., this is Mr. Big!)
(Mr., please listen, just listen to this, Mr., this is Mr. Big!)
When he's dancin', baby, knows just how to move
When he's in a jam, he knows just what to do
When he wants to walk, he'll walk all over you
He don't do the things that little people do
But something is missing, Mr. Big...So what's the problem, Mr. Big...
Oh yeah, don't look so happy, Mr. Big...Something is missing, Mr. Big...
Hm, hm, yeah, something is missing, Mr. Big...
Ooh, something is missing, Mr. Big...
Hm, hm, yeah, something is missing, Mr. Big, hah!...

Leave out all the rest - Linkin Park
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?
So if you're asking me
I want you to know
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So if you're asking me
I want you to know
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can't be who you are
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you areComment
