(Although there are no explicit evidence in the lyrics of these two songs, I still get a feeling that the narrators are middle-aged persons wishing they were young again.)
Gin and Jag, possibly one of the best songs about ageing...

Well Shopping has nothing to do with shop. It's a protest song.

Escape to utopia
Go West
Somewhere
New York City boy
In his imagination
Dreamland
Studies in loneliness and isolation
Invisible
One of the crowd
I made my excuses and left
I want a dog
The ghost of myself
Love is a catastrophe
I don't wanna
Compelling people
A certain 'Je ne sais quoi'
A face like that
Undertow
Miracles
Will-o-the-wisp
Woof.

Dogs:
I want a dog
Suburbia
I'm not scared
It's a dog (this is a a future song, inspired by my username).
From my Lyrics search engine:
Transfer (Visionaire mix)
want a little country house/a dog and a car/Giving...
The calm before the storm
Dragonflies skim the swimming pool / The dog...
Girls don’t cry
is a dog-eared polaroid / a picture of a girl with her arm
