Name the Song and Artist, then post your lyrics--
I'll start with:
"Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy"

YMCA
Village People
So I called up the Captain,
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
The Eagles
Hotel California
though you may not drive
a great big Cadillac
gangster whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
Be Thankful for What You Got
William DeVaughn
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a . . . . .
Bridge over troubled water
Simone & garfunkle
i kept talking about it
i got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
i got knocked on the ground
by all this bulls**t goin down
Isley Brothers-Fight the Power
Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find ya
Day after day on the windy road I had walked behind ya
Easy Living/ Uriah Heap
Hello, my love
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too
All through the morning rain
I gaze - the sun doesn't shine -
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind
Strawberry Letter 23 - Brothers Johnson
Now, I'm craving your body, is this real
Temperatures rising, I don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
Woah, and I'm longing to love you
Just for a night
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Reasons/ Earth Wind and Fire
I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
People ask me, "What's the matter with you boy?
Missing You/Rolling Stones
"Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait to see you come of age
But I guess, we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go, a hard row to hoe
Yes, it's a long way to go but in the meantime"
Beautiful boy Ono/Lennon
Found me a little tejanita, and I fell in love with her
she was so bonita, that I had to merry her
then she took off to Loredo, and she called me from Nuevo León
she said, "send me some more money, so I can come back home."
Soy de San Luis/ Texas Tornados
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
She said oh no
Guadalajara won't do
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
My old school
steely dan
But the heart throbs on as warmly now
as when the summer days were nigh;
Oh, the sun can never dip so low
To be down affection's cloudless sky.
Lorena/ Waylon Jennings
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
"One Week"/Barenaked Ladies
Watch out now, take care
Beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night
George Harrison's beware of darkness
Canta me canciones de valor
en este rincon del cielo
Dejo me carino y amor
Los Lobos - Rio De Tenampa
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance
"The Dance"/Garth Brooks
I CAN'T GET USED TO LIVING HERE,
WHILE MY HEART IS BROKE, MY TEARS I CRIED FOR YOU.
I WANT YOU HERE TO HAVE AND HOLD,
AS THE YEARS GO BY AND WE GROW OLD AND GREY.
"Photograph" Ringo Starr
If I die young, bury me in Satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with words of a love song
The Band Perry/ If I Die Young
It's those changes in latitudes,
Changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same.
With all of our running and all of our cunning,
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.
Jimmy Buffett - Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes
So I save a prayer when I need it most
To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
And sign it from a sinner with no name
When I meet my maker
Will he close the book on the hearts I broke and the lives I took?
Will he walk away 'cause my soul's too late to save?
Santa Fe/ Bon Jovi
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
"Time Warp" Rocky Horror Picture Show
"And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone"
"Piano Man" Billy Joel
Place your past into a book
Put in everything you ever took
Place your past into a book
Burn the pages, let them cook
And you stood tall, now you will fall
Don't break the spell of a life spent trying to do well
And you stood tall, now you will fall
Don't break the spell of a life spent trying to do well
Lullaby - Sia
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Space odyssey David bowie
I wish you'd hurry up n rescue me
so I can be on my mis'rable way
"I Don't Live Today" Jimi Hendrix
I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
Don't let the sun go down on me. Elton John
I can drive down the road my eyes don't see
though my mind wants to cry out loud
"I Feel Free", David Bowie
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I've told you long ago
Take my word, I'm a madman, don't you know?
KAZ
Elton John - Madman Across the Water
Well now the years have gone and I've grown
From that seed you've sown
But I didn't think there'd be so many steps
I'd have to learn on my own
Well I was young and I didn't know what to do
When I saw your best steps stolen away from you
Now I'll do what I can
Walk Like a Man - Bruce Springsteen
I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today
Toes. Zac brown band
Que bonitos ojos tienes
debajo de esas dos cejas
Killed this one, that was "malagueña salerosa"
How about this one then. . .
when I pay the debt I owe
to the commissary store
i will pawn my watch and chain and go home
go home, lord lord lord
i will pawn my watch and chain and go home
I Was Young When I Left Home- Bob Dylan
By the dark of the moon, I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot owl howling by my window
now for six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
"Wildfire" / Michael Martin Murphy
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Ahh, ahh, ahh
A day in the life Beatles
Like Jack Horner
in a corner
Don't go nowhere
what do I care
Don't Go - Nat King Cole
Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
And the king and the queen of the prom
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner
Yep, definitely "Ain't Misbehavin" by Fats Waller. Like Hank Williams Jr.'s version too.
"Scenes from an Italian Restaurant"/ Billy Joel
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here"
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
