Type 2 conditional in recent songs
 
Hi everyone!
 
I�m looking for songs which contain at least one sentence in the conditional (type 2). I already have about 20 "old" songs (If I was a Rich Girl, If I Were a Boy etc ...) so I�m also looking for songs that my 15 year-old students would know. I won�t use the whole songs, only the sentences I�m interested in so it�s really not a problem if there�s only one in each song.
 
If anyone could help, that would be great!
 
Have a great day
 
Pauline

There�s a great song performed by Robert Plant, though it�s a cover.
 
 
The only problem is 15-year old students are 99% not familar with the song, let alone the singer unless they are into the classic rock of the 70s and 80s.
