Blind Faith - Well... All Right (1969)


From the album Blind Faith in 1969



Well all right, so I've been foolish.
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low.

Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.

Well all right, so I'm not working.
Well all right, let people say
That those foolish kids can't be ready
For the love that comes their way.

Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.

Well all right, so I've been foolish.
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low.

Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.

Radiohead - Creep (1992)


From the album Pablo Honey in 1992



When you were here before,
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

She's running out again
She's running out
She run run run run...
run... run...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't belong here...

The Raconteurs - Hands (2006)


From the album Broken Boy Soldiers in 2006



Girl, you've got those hands, that heal
Help me get in touch with what I feel
Cause you understand and you sympathize
And you know me best, it's no surprise

When you're with me there's a light
And I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song
And I know what to say

Girl, you've got those eyes, that see
Help me find the good that's inside me
Cause you're the only one who really know
How the feeling comes and why it goes

When you're with me there's a light
And I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song
And I know what to say

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho

When you're with me there's a light
And I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song
And I know what to say
When you listen there's a hope
And I know I'm being heard
When you smile at me
And I know that we don't have to speak a word
When you're with me there's a light
And I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song
And I know what to say

Wings - Live And Let Die (1973)


From a single in 1973



When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say "Live and let live"
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever changing world in which we live in
makes you give in and cry
Say "Live and let die"

(speed up)

(Live and let die)
Live and let die
(Live and let die)

(a tempo)
What dose it matter to you
when you've got a job to you got to do it well
You gotta give the other fella hell!

You used to say "live and let live"
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever changing world in which we live in
makes you give in and cry
say "Live and let die"

(speed up)

(Live and let die)
Live and let die
(Live and let die)

Lou Reed - Vicius (1973)


From the album Transformer in 1973



Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Ohh, baby youre so vicious

Vicious
You want me to hit you with a stick
But all Ive gots a guitar pick
Huh... baby youre so vicious

When I watch you come
I just want to run far away
Youre not the kind of person
Around whom I want to stay

When I see you comin down the street
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
Youre not the kind of person that I wanna meet
Oh, baby, youre so vicious

Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Ohh, baby youre so vicious

Vicious
Hey, why dont you swallow razor blades
You must think Im some kinda gay blade
But baby, youre so vicious
When I watch you comin
I just have to run
Youre not good and you certainly arent very much fun
When I see you walkin down the street
I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
Youre not the kind of person that I even wanna meet
cause youre so vicious

Vicious
Vicious...

The Kingsmen - Louie Louie (1963)


From a single in 1963



CHORUS:

Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go

Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home

CHORUS

Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there
I smell the rose in her hair.

CHORUS

Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!

GUITAR SOLO

See Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I'll never leave again

CHORUS

Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!!

Dr. Feelgood - Roxette (1975)


From the album Down by the Jetty in 1975



I saw you out the other night
I saw somebody hold you tight
Roxette, I wonder who it could be
It was so dark I couldn't see
But I know it wasn't me
When I tell you it ain't right
I know you've got to agree

I followed you into a show
The band was playing rock'n'roll
Roxette, I didn't need to seek you out
The music played so loud
That I could hear you through the crowd
You was telling everyone
About a new guy you'd found

Roxette I gotta go away
And leave you for a couple of days
Roxette, I don't want no more of your tricks
I'm gonna get some concrete mix
And fill your back door up with bricks
And you better be there waiting
When I get my business fixed

Tracy Chapman - Fast Car (1988)


From the album Tracy Chapman in 1988



You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe well make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We wont have to drive too far
Just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old mans got a problem
He live with the bottle thats the way it is
He says his bodys too old for working
I say his bodys too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebodys got to take care of him
So I quit school and thats what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still aint got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
Youll find work and Ill get promoted
Well move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
Id always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I aint going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

The Flaming Lips - She Don't Use Jelly (1994)


From the album Transmissions from the Satellite Heart in 1994



I know a girl who thinks of ghosts
Shell make ya breakfast
Shell make ya toast
She dont use butter
She dont use cheese
She dont use jelly
Or any of these
She uses vaseline
Vaseline
Vaseline

I know a guy who goes to shows
When hes at home and he blows his nose
He dont use tissues or his sleeve
He dont use napkins or any of these
He uses magazines
Magazines
Magazines
Magazines
Magazines

I know a girl who reminds me of cher
(reminds me of cher)
Shes always changing
(shes always changing)
The color of her hair

She dont use nothing
That ya buy at the store
She likes her hair to be real orange
She uses tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines
