A song that I think is perfect, if you don't mind it being American, is John Gorka's "Houses in the Fields" -- the words to which I posted in this thread (anonymously, apparently, without meaning to). This is one of my very favourite songs.
And what luck, there's a YouTube of the "official" video that used to run on Country Music Television here.
(It's NOT really a "country" song, in case you are worried.)
