Some Howard Jones songs that might be useful:
(Lyrics at http://www.lyrics007.com/Howard%20Jones%20Lyrics.html )

Dream into Action
suppress, only against 'bigotry' psych lims
area effect mind control : "do not be divisive"
"Whatever you like to say I'll try to understand
Whatever you do you have the benefit of the doubt
Whatever I do please understand"
possible secondary effect : very basic understanding of others' native languages.

Dig This Well Deep
dig tunnel straight down
area effect mind control : "persevere"
"I'm going to dig this well deep
It's a promise I must keep
I'm going to dig this well deep
'Cos I want to find water
I'm going to dig this well deep
Going to sow before I reap
I'm going to dig this well deep
'Cos I want to find water"
"See it through to a conclusion even if it leads to nowhere
Sometimes there is no solution but the water tastes as good there"

Cross That Line
suppress : "naive" psych lims
mind control : "consider: things may not turn out perfectly"
mind control : "don't waste your chances"
"It's not my fault if you didn't live out your youthful dreams"
...
"Everyone has got to take some responsibility
The grass is rarely bluer, but you wouldn't take it from me
Finding out the hard way can be an endless affair"

Bounce Right Back
There is an extended version of this song that lasts over 8 minutes
? area effect minor regeneration
? area effect Aid to REC
area effect common sense manifests as mental illusion : short guy warns anyone who is about to say something catastrophic
possible side effect : Doug gets a temporary henchman named Luke
"He say yes and I say no
He say what do you mean
I pulled my piece and he pulled his
We stared each other right in the eye
There was a flash like dynamite
And this guy appeared by our side
Well he said button up and tighten your lip
Keep a check on what you say
Those crazy words you fling from your mouth
Are going to bounce back on you some day"

Everlasting Love
This one has a cute video with mummies, still in love after a few millennia.
This song might also kick Doug out of depression from being separated from his wife.
life support : unaging (for the duration of the song, anyway)
area effect mind control : "seek out a lasting relationship instead of a shallow one"
area effect suppress lechery and other psych lims that might directly interfere with forming a healthy relationship
"Is this love worth waiting for
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
Is this love worth waiting for"
--Indexfiles aka Index aka J.W. Harris
More stuff to listen to, although I seem to remember the "mummies" video from somewhere...
