The Hollies
He’s not heavy, he’s my brother
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I’m strong
Röyksopp - Only This Moment:
“Forces within me mix reason with lust, but
I’ll try to accept it and not make it worse
’Cause I know I might lose it by taking the chance
But love without pain isn’t really romance”
Depeche Mode
People are People
I’ve never even met
You
So what could I
Have done
I can’t understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show
Sweetest of All
Out of all the nights I remember
Of all the loves I recall
There are many who live in my memory
But you were the sweetest of all
Peace Train by Cat Stevens
Now I’ve been crying lately,
Thinkin’ about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating,
Why can’t we live in bliss
'Cause out on the edge of darkness,
There rides a Peace Train
Oh Peace Train take this country,
Come take me home again
Johnny cash - the general Lee
I’m a charger that charges through the night,
Like an orange bolt of lightning passing everything in sight.
I’m the best pal that you boys ever had,
I’m thunder on the highway lookin’ bad, bad, bad.
The Turtles -happy together
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
Burn. Ellie Golding
When the lights turned down, they don’t know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We’ll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
’Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire
Rolling Stones - miXed emotions
You’re not the only one
With mixed emotions
You’re not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean
Yeah we all know lithium too so let me get that out of the way
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong…

I’m a charger that charges through the night,
Like an orange bolt of lightning passing everything in sight.
I’m the best pal that you boys ever had,
I’m thunder on the highway lookin’ bad, bad, bad.
I’m a knight, like the kind in shining armor,
With my polished body gleaming, I’m a fighter and a charmer.
If trouble comes your way just ask for me,
My friends all know me as General Lee.
I’m the Gerneral Lee,
A pistol pumpin’, steel belted cavalry.
I’ll never let you down when you’re riding with me;
Buckle up and I’ll show you what I mean.
Take a look back there:
Sirens blownin’, red lights flashin’ everywhere;
We’ll cross the fields and we’ll be running free,
They’ll eat dust compliments of me:
The General Lee
I’m a hero, and that’s how I’ll make you feel
Look Around
Blues Traveler
If you want peace
then live alone
If you wanna hide
then find a stage
Each a brief but perfect home
to accommodate your rage
There’s a lady who’s sure
All that glitters is gold
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh ooh and she’s buying a stairway to heaven.
There’s a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
’Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There’s a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There’s a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it’s whispered that soon, If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow,
Don’t be alarmed now,
It’s just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There’s still time to change the road you’re on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won’t go
In case you don’t know,
The piper’s calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev’rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.
Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn’t you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
and they’re always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.
I get up in the evening
And I ain’t got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain’t nothing but tired
Man I’m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Message keeps getting clearer
Radio’s on and I’m moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I want to change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain’t getting nowhere
I’m just living in a dump like this
There’s something happening somewhere
Baby I just know that there is
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
