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.

The Wait is almost over. A strange feeling fills the air.

She walks in pain and out the door. With a strong dramatic flair.

I know I’m going to miss her . No specifics come to my mind.

I searched for someone special. Oh and special I did find.

Be careful what you wish for, I heard the old ones say.

Those words are ringing in my ears. Tears of joy are on the way.

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.

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…

First We Take Manhattan-Leonard Cohen

“They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom. For trying to change the system from within. I’m coming now to reward them. First we take Manhattan. Then we take Berlin.

I don’t like your fashion business mister. I don’t like your drugs that keep you thin… I don’t like what happened to my sister. First we take Manhattan. Then we take Berlin.

Folsom Prison Blue’s-Johnny Cash

I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry.

There’s a green plaid jacket on the back of a chair.

It’s like a moment frozen forever there.

Mom and Dad had a lot of big plans for their little man.

So proud.

Mama’s gone crazy cause her baby’s shot down.

By a teenage car chase war out of bounds.

It was the wrong place, wrong time, wrong end of a gun.

We don’t need no education.

We don’t need no thought control.

No dark sarcasm in the classroom.

Teacher leave those kids alone.

Hey teacher! Leave them kids alone.

All in all.

Just another Brick in the Wall.
