All Along the Watchtower-Bob Dylan

There must be some kind of way outta here.

Said the Joker to the Thief.

There is too much confusion.

I can’t get no relief.

No reason to get excited.

The Thief he finally spoke.

“There are many here among us.

That feel life is but a joke.

But uh, you and I have been through that.

And this is not our fate.

Let us stop talking falsely now.

The hour is getting late, hey.”

Purple Rain-PRINCE

I could never be your weekend lover.

I just wanted to be some kind of friend.

Baby I could never take you from another.

It’s such a shame our friendship had to end.

Purple Rain.

I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain.

Working Class Hero-Marianne Faithful

As soon as you’re born they make you feel small.

By giving you no time instead of it all.

Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all.

A working class hero is something to be.

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school.

Hate you if you’re clever and dispise a fool.

Till you’re so fucking crazy, you can’t follow their rules.

A working class hero is something to be.

You are all fucking peasants as far as I can see.

A working class hero is something to be.

White Rabbit-Grace Slick

One pill makes you larger.

And one pill makes you small.

And the ones that mother gives you.

Don’t do anything at all.

Go ask Alice when she is 10 feet tall.

Games Without Frontiers –Peter Gabriel

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane. Jane plays with Willie, Willie is happy again. Suki plays with Leo, Sasha plays with Brit. Adolph builds a bonfire and Rudolph plays with it…

Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside.

If looks could kill they probably will in games without frontiers. In war without tears…

Tweeter and the Monkey Man-Traveling Wilbury’s

Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash. They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash.

To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan. For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man.

Tweeter was a boycott cause he went to Vietnam. Found out the hard way that nobody gives a damn.

Jan got married at 14 to a rackateer named Bill. She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on a hill.

High Water-Bob Dylan

“Well George Lewis told the English man, the Italian and the Jew. Said, ‘You can’t open your minds boys, to every conceivable point of view.’

They got Charles Darwin out trapped on highway 5. The Judge says to the high sherif. ‘I want him back dead or alive… either one I don’t care. High water everywhere.

Closing Time-Leonard Cohen

My very close companion, gets me fumbling, gets me laughing, she’s 100, but she’s wearing something tight.

And I raise my glass to the awful truth, that you can’t reveal to the ears of youth. Except to say it isn’t worth a damn.

And the whole place goes crazy trice. It’s once for the devil and it’s once for Christ. But the boss don’t like these dizzy heights. We’re busted in the blinding lights…

It’s closing time.

Woodstock-Joni Mitchell

We are stardust.

Billion year old carbon.

We are golden.

Caught in the devils bargain.

And we’ve got to get ourselves.

Back to the garden.

Stronger-Kanye West(Ye)

You know long I’ve been on ya?

Since Prince was on Appolonia.

Since O.J. had isotoners.

Don’t say I never told ya.
