You’ll wind up in some factory that’s full-time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but I believe you’ll be coming back before too long
Don’t go back to Rockville
And waste another year
Tell her not to go
I ain’t holding on no more
Tell her something in my mind freezes up from time to time
Tell her not to cry
I just got scared that’s all
Tell her I’ll be by her side, all she has to do is call
Del Amitri
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I’m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
- Leonard Cohen

You win a prize for that
For telling lies like that
So well that i believed it
I never felt cheated
You were the chosen one
The pure eyes of Noah’s dove
Choir boys and angels
Stole your lips and your halo
In your reckless mind
You act as if you’ve got more lives
In your reckless eyes
You only have time and your love of danger
To it you’re no stranger

She’s got a hand on a wheel of pain
She can talk to the mangling strangers
She can sleep in a fiery bog
Throwing troubles to the dying embers
- Beck
Oh dance with me and I’ll believe
Come knock me out when you move
In the ways I once knew you
Don’t leave me always with the heart on my sleeve
Griffin House
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it, you can’t mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean
Anna Mc Garrigle made famous by Linda Ronstadt
Love don’t lie, it lifts you up
Takes you higher when high ain’t enough
Love don’t lie, it’s stronger than steel
It’s got the heart and emotion to heal
It’s not as easy as it seems
When you can’t even speak in your dreams
Love don’t lie and that’s the truth
Def Leppard
It’s 3:35 in the morning and I thought
CBD would not get me high, but here I am thinking
What if Michael Keaton killed himself in Multiplicity
Would that be genocide?

And the big wheel keep on turning
Neon burning up above
And I’m just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love
Yeah love

Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you?
Horses chasin’, ‘cause they’re racin’
So near yet so far
On a carousel
On a carousel
The Hollies
'Cause he’s racing and pacing and plotting the course
He’s fighting and biting and riding on his horse
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he’s striving and driving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns

Sitting on a park bench
Eying little girls with bad intent
Snot running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes, hey, Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run,
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck, oh, Aqualung
Jethro Tull
Nice girls, not one with a defect
Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs
She looks so good that he gets down and begs

I’m a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it’s fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on, Barbie, let’s go party
Aqua
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
This star thing
I don’t get it

And if you want the wind of change
To blow about you
And you’re the only other person to know
Don’t tell me
I’m just a singer in a rock and roll band

If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Mm, make your mind up fast
If you want it, any time, I can give it
But you’d better hurry 'cause it may not last

Hail (Hail), what’s the matter with you feel right
Don’t you feel right, baby
Hail, oh yeah, get it from the main vine, all right
I said-a find it, find it, go on and love it if you like it, yeah
Hail (Hail), it’s your business if you want some, take some
Get it together, baby

Redbone
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that’s really hot
With the one you love you’re makin’ romance
All day long, you been wanting to dance
Feelin’ the music from head to toe
'Round and 'round and 'round you go
Hail, hail rock’n’roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock’n’roll
The beat of the drum is loud and bold
Rock rock rock’n’roll
The feelin’ is there body and soul
(Chuck Berry)
