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.

The drinks were in abundance.

The ice was cold and cubed.

The songs and myths were in a loop.

The tongues were loosely lubed.

Last call came at closing.

There was screaming in their throats.

With no one left to take them home.

And they were really feeling their oats.

The sun came out at midday.

The rays were bright and warm.

There were rumblings of a brouhaha.

Along with rumors of a storm.

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.
