Somedays won't end ever and somedays pass on by,
I'll be working here forever, at least until I die.
Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't
I'm supposed to get a raise next week, you know damn well I won't.

Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.

Huey Lewis and the news
 

[Moorea7]

Summertime 🌤
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your ma is good-lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry

Ella Fitzgerald and many others

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe

[Moorea7]

Seek and you shall find, look within and you will know
Where you coming from, and where you gotta go 🚶

Find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young 

[Moorea7]

Freedom come, Freedom go
Tell me yes and then she tells me no
Freedom never stay long
Freedom moving along
Freedom want, Freedom stay
Freedom love 💗 and then she flies away
Freedom never stay long
Freedom moving along

The Fortunes

[maggiebee]

All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me (Yeah, Yeah!)
Freedom!
I won't let you down (Freedom!)
I will not give you up (Freedom!)
Gotta have some faith in the sound
(You got to give what you take)
It's the one good thing that I've got, (Freedom!)
I won't let you down (Freedom!)
So please don't give me up (Freedom!)
Cause I would really, really love to stick around (You got to give what you

George Michael

[mushroom25]

I'm sticking with you
'Cause I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too

You held up a stage coach in the rain
And I'm doing the same
Saw you hanging from a tree
And I made believe it was me

I'm sticking with you
'Cause I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too

Some people go
Into the stratosphere
Soldiers fighting
With the Cong

But with you by my side
I can do anything
When we swing
We hang past right and wrong

I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me too....

Reed, performed by Velvet Underground

[Hazlinny]

Would you risk the "drop"?
Anything!
Tho' your eyes go, 'pop'
Anything!
When you come down 'plop'
Hang ev'rything!
We'd risk life and limb
To keep you in the swim
Yes, we'd do anything...
Anything?!
Anything for you

From the musical "Oliver".

[mushroom25]

I'm right on target, my aim is straight
So you're in love, I say what of it?
Things can change, there's always changes
I want to try some rearranging, I say

Drop the pilot, try my balloon
Drop the monkey, smell my perfume
Drop the mahout, I'm the Easy Rider
Don't use your army to fight a losing battle
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need

You're kissing cousins, there's no smoke, no flame
If you lose that pilot I can fly your plane
If you want solid ground, come on and try me
Oh I can take you so high that you're never gonna want to come down, I say....

Joan Armatrading

[Hazlinny]

Oh oh, there's no smoke without a fire, and there's no heat without a flame
Oh oh, there's no love without desire, but I won't play your games

Please don't ask me why
'Cos I can't quite explain, I'm like a moth to your flame

Bad Company

[mushroom25]

All the waiters in your grand café
Leave their tables when you blink, ohh
Every dog must have his everyday
Every drunk must have his drink
Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances
Don't ask me why

All your life, you had to stand in line
Still you're standing on your feet, ohh
All your choices made you change your mind
Now your calendar's complete
Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances
Don't ask me why

Mmh, you can say the human heart
Is only make believe
I am only fighting fire with fire
But you are still a victim
Of the accidents you leave
As sure as I'm a victim of desire.....

Billy Joel

[Hazlinny]

You could never know what it's like
Your blood, like winter, freezes just like ice
And there's a cold, lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win?
Well look at me, I'm a-comin' back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standin'
You just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standin' better than I ever did?
Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin' like a little kid
And I'm still standin' after all this time
Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

Elton John
 

[mushroom25]

Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

Sun in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there
And I need a friend
Oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine.....

Vearncombe, performed by Black

[Hazlinny]

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me

In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

from Les Miserables

May you build a ladder to the stars ❇️

And climb on every rung

May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young

May you stay forever young.

Bob Dylan

[1ozzy]

Why do you build me up, build me up, buttercup, baby,,
 

[Moorea7]

 

Oh, you're so fine🐼

Oh, I wanna make you mine

Oh, you're so fine

Oh, I wanna make you mine, all mine

Whitesnake

[mushroom25]

You come on like a dream
Peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine (ooh, mine all mine)

You're all ribbons and curls (ooh)
Ooh, what a girl (ooh)
Eyes that sparkle and shine (ooh)
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine (ooh)
Mine all mine, mine, mine, mine

You're my baby, you're my pet (ooh wah, wah)
We fell in love on the night we met (ooh wah, wah, wah)
You touched my hand, my heart went pop (ooh)
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop (ooh)

You walked out of my dreams, and into my arms (ahh)
Now you're my angel divine (ahh)
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine (ooh wah, wah, wah)

Sherman/Sherman, performed by Johnny Burnette, and later by Ringo Starr

[maggiebee]

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my

Taylor Swift
