Jimmy Eat World - Futures
(Tony Stark, the futurist)
I always believed in futures
I hope for better in November
I try the same losing lucky numbers
It could be a cold night for a lifetime
[...]
Hey now, the past is told by those who win
My darling, what matters is what hasn't been

Vaux - Are You With Me?
(General Civil War theme)
Off the record I been saying
Cut the cord that's hanging you
On the record, information
Pretty soon they're selling you
Are you with me?
Nothing to trust in
You have the answers
What are the questions?

The Kinks - Catch Me Now I'm Falling (live)
(The growing tension and disconnect between Steve and Tony)
Now I'm calling all citizens from all over the world
This is Captain America calling
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I'm falling
[...]
When you were broke you would come to me
And I would always pull you round
Now I call your office on the telephone
And your secretary tells me that she's sorry,
But, you've gone out of town

Metric - Monster Hospital (MSTRKRFT Remix)
(Tony, after Steve's death)
I fought the war
But the war won't stop for the love of god
I fought the war
I fought the war but the war won

Maximo Park - Our Velocity
(Tony, trying to cope after everything)
I’m not a man, I’m a machine
Chisel me down until I am clean
[...]
Never, never try to gauge temperature
When you tend to travel at such speed
At our velocity
[...]
Love is a lie,
which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie,
which means I've been lying too
[...]
I've got no one to call
In the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with my thoughts

Sarah McLachlan - Fallen
(Tony, "It wasn't worth it.")
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
[...]
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear
- - -
Voxtrot - Steven
(Tony, missing Steve)
I want to be myself
But I am somebody else
[...]
Steven, I love you, I can't grow past you,
I have nothing left to give to you

The New Pornographers - Adventures in Solitude
(Steve's return)
The best of the vanished marvels have gathered inside your door
[...]
Gathering there
To pay off a debt brought back from the wars
We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you
Welcome back
