Donald Fagen - Maxine

Some say that we're reckless They say we're much too young Tell us to stop before we've begun We've got to hold out till graduation Try to hang on, Maxine

While the world is sleeping We meet at Lincoln Mall Talk about life the meaning of it all Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl Try to hang on, Maxine

Mexico City is like another world Nice this year they say You'll be my senorita In jeans and pearls But first let's get off this highway

We'll move up to Manhattan And fill the place with friends Drive to the coast and drive right back again One day we'll wake up, make love but 'til then Try to hang on, Maxine

The Beach Boys - Cabin Essence

Light the lamp and fire mellow Cabin essence, timely hello Welcomes the time for a change Lost and found you still remain there You'll find a meadow filled with grain there I'll give you a home on the range
Who ran the iron horse?
I want to watch you windblown facing Waves of wheat for your embracing Folks sing a song of the grange Nestle in a kiss below there The constellations ebb and flow there And witness our home on the range
Who ran the iron horse?
Have you seen the grand coolie Working on the railroad
Over and over The crow cries uncover the cornfield Over and over The thresher and hover the wheat field

The Cramps - TV Set

Oh baby, I see you on my TV set Yeah baby, I see you on my TV set I cut your head off and put it in my TV set I use your eyeballs for dials on my TV set I watch TV, I watch TV Since I put you in my TV set
Oh baby, I hear you on my radio Yeah baby, I hear you on my radio You know I flip flip flip for your radio You're going drip drip drip on my radio AM radio, PM radio Since I tuned you inside my radio
Oh baby I see you in my Frigidaire Yeah baby I see you in my Frigidaire Behind the mayonnaise, way in the back I'm gonna see you tonight for a midnight snack But though it's cold you won't get old 'cause you're well preserved in my Frigidaire
Oh baby, look so good in my crib at night Yeah baby, look so good in my crib at night I could give you a million hugs You look so good all covered up in bugs I missed some there under your chair but that's all right I'll sweep you under the rug
Oh baby, I see you on my TV set Yeah baby, I see you on my TV set I cut your head off and put it in my TV set I use your eyeballs for dials on my TV set I watch TV, I watch TV Since I seen you I've been so upset

The Beach Boys - Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)

I can hear so much in your sighs
And I can see so much in your eyes There are words we both could say
But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder Come close, close your eyes and be still Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart beat
Being here with you feels so right We could live forever tonight Lets not think about tomorrow
And don't talk put your head on my shoulder Come close, close your eyes and be still Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart beat Listen, listen, listen
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder Don't talk, close your eyes and be still

Laura Nyro - Buy and Sell

Cocaine and quiet beers Sweet candy and caramels Pass the time and dry the tears on a street called buy and sell
Life turns like the endless sea Death tolls like a vesper bell Children laugh and lover dream on a street called buy and sell
Ladies dressed calico style Beware your heart when they smile And the men walk shamelessly, aimlessly by Cinders in the daylight, junkyards in the sky Buy and sell Sell my goods to buy my roof, my bed My bed
Two pennies will buy a rose Three pennies and who can tell? On a street that comes and goes by the name of buy and sell
Buy and sell Sell my goods to buy my roof, my bed

Laura Nyro - Poverty Train

Last call for the poverty train Last call for the poverty train It looks good and dirty on shiny light strip And if you don't get beat you got yourself a trip You can see the walls roar, see your brains on the floor Become God, become cripple, become funky and split Why was I born

Oh baby, I just saw the Devil and he's smilin' at me I heard my bones cry, Devil why's it got to be Devil played with my brother, Devil drove my mother Now the tears in the gutter are floodin' the sea Why was I born

Oh baby, it looks good and dirty, them shiny lights glow A million night tramps, tricks and tracks will come and go  You're starvin' today But who cares anyway Baby, it feels like I'm dyin' now

I swear there's something better than Getting off on sweet cocaine It feels so good It feels so good Gettin' off the poverty train Mornin'

Laura Nyro - Stoney End

I was born from love And I was raised on golden rules Til the love of a winsome Johnny Taught me love was meant for fools Now I don't believe I want to see the morning

Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me Mama, cradle me again

I can still remember him With love light in his eyes But the light flickered out and parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the morning

Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me Mama, cradle me again

Never mind the forecast 'Ccause the sky has lost control 'Cause the fury and broken thunder's Come to match my raging soul Now I don't believe I want to see the morning

Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me Mama, cradle me again

Old Friends - Simon and Garfunkel

Avatar

Old friends Old friends Sat on their park bench like bookends A newspaper blowin' through the grass Falls on the round toes Of the high shoes Of the old friends

Old friends Winter companions, the old men Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset The sounds of the city sifting through trees Settle like dust On the shoulders of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today Sharing a park bench quietly How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends Memory brushes the same years Silently sharing the same fear

Time it was, and what a time it was, it was A time of innocence A time of confidences

Long ago it must be I have a photograph Preserve your memories They're all that's left you

John Lennon - Real Love

All my little plans and schemes Lost like some forgotten dreams Seems that all I really was doing Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys Playing with their little toys Seems like all they really were doing Was waiting for love

Don't need to be alone No need to be alone It's real love, it's real Yes it's real love, it's real

From this moment on I know Exactly where my life will go Seems that all I really was doing Was waiting for love

Don't need to be afraid No need to be afraid It's real love, it's real Yes it's real love, it's real

Thought I'd been in love before But in my heart, I wanted more Seems like all I really was doing Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone Don't need to be alone

It's real love, it's real It's real love, it's real Yes it's real love, it's real It's real love, it's real Yes it's real love, it's real It's real love, it's real Yes it's real love, it's real It's real love, it's real

I've been phoning night and morning I heard you say "tell him I'm not home" Now you're confessing, but I'm still guessing I've been your fool for so so long Girl don't lie, just to save my feelings Girl don't cry, and tell me nothing's wrong Girl don't try to make up phony reasons I'd rather leave than never believe

If this is it, please let me know If this ain't love you'd better let me know If this is it, I want to know If this ain't love baby, just say so

You've been thinking and I've been drinking We both know that it's just not right Now you're pretending that it's not ending You'll say anything to avoid a fight Girl don't lie, and tell me that you need me Girl don't cry, and tell me nothing's wrong I'll be alright one way or another So let me go, or make we want to stay

If this is it, please let me know If this ain't love you'd better let me know If this is it, I want to know If this ain't love baby, just say so

Billy Joel - If I Only Had the Words (To Tell You)

If I only had the words to tell you If you only had the time to understand Though I know it wouldn't change your feelings And I know you'll carry on the best you can

If I only had the urge to tell you If you only knew how hard it is to say When the simple lines have all been taken And the radio repeats them ev'ry day

If I never find the song to sing you If you always find it hard to comprehend Well, you know there wouldn't be much meaning If I had to sing those tired words again

Life goes on and on And tonight will soon be gone But if we try we can be sure

If I only had the words to tell you If you only had the time to understand But I only have these arms to hold you And it's all that you can ask of any man

Wond'ring Aloud & Cheap Day Return

Wond'ring aloud How we feel today Last night sipped the sunset My hands in her hair We are our own saviours As we start both our hearts beating life Into each other

Wond'ring aloud Will the years treat us well As she floats in the kitchen I'm tasting the smell Of toast as the butter runs Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed And I shake my head And it's only the giving That makes you what you are

On Preston platform Do your soft shoe shuffle dance Brush away the cigarette ash that's Falling down your pants And you sadly wonder Does the nurse treat your old man The way she should She made you tea, Asked for your autograph What a laugh

Elton John - Idol

He was a light star Tripping on a high wire Bulldog stubborn, born uneven A classless creature, a man for all seasons But don't bet them They can't take him To the very bottom Because they made him and they'll waste him And I don't believe that I want to watch them

`Cause the fifties shifted out of gear He was an idol then, now he's an idol here But his face has changed, he's not the same no more And I have to say that I like the way his music sounded before

He was tight-assed Walking on broken glass Highly prized in the wallet size The number one crush in a schoolgirl's eyes But don't pretend that it won't end In the depth of your despair You went from lame suits right down to tennis shoes To peanuts from the lion's share

Paul Simon - Something So Right

You've got the cool water When the fever runs high You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes And I was in crazy motion Til you calmed me down It took a little time But you calmed me down

When something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it I'm the first to admit it But the last one to know when something goes right Well it's likely to lose me It's apt to confuse me It's such an unusual sight I can't get used to something so right Something so right

They've got a wall in China It's a thousand miles long To keep out the foreigners They made it strong I've got a wall around me You can't even see It took a little time To get to me

Some people never say the words I love you It's not their style to be so bold Some people never say those words I love you But like a child they're longing to be told

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah The gypsy flies from coast to coast Knowing many, loving none Bearing sorrow havin' fun But back home he'll always run To sweet Melissa Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same And no one knows the Gypsy's name No one hears his lonely sighs There are no blankets where he lies In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies with sweet Melissa Again the morning's come Again he's on the run Sunbeams shining through his hair Appearing not to have a care Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on Crossroads, will you ever let him go Will you hide the dead man's ghost Or will he lie, beneath the clay or will his spirit float away But I know that he won't stay without Melissa Yes I know that he won't stay without Melissa
