Blueberry Hill by Fats Domino

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill, when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be

Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be

Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

GOODBYE FATS. WE ARE SORRY TO SEE YOU GO BUT YOU GOT OUT WHILE THE GETTIN WAS GOOD

Steal My Sunshine by Len


I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week
Indulging in my self defeat
My mind was thugged all laced and bugged all twisted wrong and beat
A comfortable three feet deep
Now the fuzzy stare from not being there on a confusing morning week
Impaired my tribal lunar speak
And of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done
So I missed a million miles of fun

I know it's up for me
If you steal my sunshine
Making sure I'm not in too deep
If you steal my sunshine
Keeping versed and on my feet
If you steal my sunshine

Check, come here come here, come here
Wow, look at her
I know
I've never seen Sharon look so bad before
I did once before, but this is pretty bad
Yeah, what do you think she got up to last night?
Ha ha ha
Tell, I, Karen I love you

I was lying on the bench slide in the park across the street
L-a-t-e-are that week
My sticky paws were in to making straws out of big fat slurpy treats
An incredible eight foot heap
Now the funny glare to pay a gleaming tare in a staring under heat
Involved an under usual feet
And I'm not only among but I invite who I want to come
So I missed a million miles of fun

I know it's up for me
If you steal my sunshine
Making sure I'm not in too deep
If you steal my sunshine
Keeping versed and on my feet
If you steal my sunshine

I know it's done for me
If you steal my sunshine
Not some and hard to see
If you steal my sunshine
Keeping dumb and built to beat
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

Wordy Rappinghood by Tom Tom Club

What are words worth?
What are words worth? Words

Words in papers, words in books
Words on TV, words for crooks
Words of comfort, words of peace
Words to make the fighting cease
Words to tell you what to do
Words are working hard for you
Eat your words but don't go hungry
Words have always nearly hung me

What are words worth?
What are words worth? Words

Words of nuance, words of skill
And words of romance are a thrill
Words are stupid, words are fun
Words can put you on the run

Mots press?X, mots sens?X,
Mots qui disent la vâÝit?Mots maudits, mots mentis,
Mots qui manquent le fruit d'esprit

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - Words

Its a rap race, with a fast pace
Concrete words, abstract words
Crazy words and lying words
Hazy words and dying words
Words of faith and tell me straight
Rare words and swear words
Good words and bad words

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - Words

Words can make you pay and pay
Four-letter words I cannot say
Panty, toilet, dirty devil
Words are trouble, words are subtle
Words of anger, words of hate
Words over here, words out there
In the air and everywhere
Words of wisdom, words of strife
Words that write the book I like
Words won't find no right solution
To the planet earth's pollution
Say the right word, make a million
Words are like a certain person
Who can't say what they mean
Don't mean what they say
With a rap rap here and a rap rap there
Here a rap, there a rap
Everywhere a rap rap

Rap it up for the common good
Let us enlist the neighbourhood
It's okay, I've overstood
This is a wordy rappinghood, okay, bye

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - Words

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - Words

He'll stop Don't stop Stop

WORDS ARE INDEED POWERFUL. I RECENTLY HEARD AN INTERVIEW WITH A LINGUIST WHO KNEW A MAN WHO HAD LIVED THE FIRST 21 YEARS OF HIS LIFE WITHOUT LANGUAGUE BECAUSE HE WAS DEAF LIVING IN A HEARING FAMILY AND THE PARENTS HAD NEVER BOTHERED TO TEACH HIM SIGN LANGUAGE. SO THIS WOMAN GRADUALLY TAUGHT HIM LANGUAGE. LATER SHE ASKED HIM WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO LIVE WITHOUT WORDS WITOUT LANGUAGE. HE SAID HE COULDNT REMEMBER. ONCE HE HAD WORDS TO DESCRIBE THINGS IT SHATTERED THAT OTHER WORLD. HE JUST KNEW THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE WORLD HE LIVED IN WITH WORDS.

The KKK Took My Baby Away by The Ramones

She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say

The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me

Now I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me
I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me

Ring me, ring me ring me
Up the President
And find out
Where my baby went
Ring me, ring me, ring me
Up the FBI
And find out if
My baby's alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah

She went away for the holidays

The KKK took my baby away

They took my girl
They took my baby away

MAYBE THEY ARE HOLDING HER AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Wonder Why by Juliana Hatfield

The living room
The curly sheepskin rug we called “the furry”
And sometimes I wonder why
The plastic clock, the macrame owl, and the butcher block couch are on my mind

I wonder why my parents chose a brown and orange scheme
And why that seemed okay to me
I wonder why the kitchen was an avocado green
And the upstairs bathroom was peach

The northern lights
We saw them in Vermont one night from the car
But only once, I wonder why
The aliens who landed on the roof, they left me there
And didn’t take me to the sky
I’ve escaped into my childhood memories tonight

I wonder why my corduroys were always light blue
And I never had a TV in my bedroom
Just a flame from an electric candle on my windowsill
And I dreamed of my melodies touching you

I wonder why the marimekko fabric on the wall was ever taken down
I wonder how a transistor radio held up to my ear
Brought me to heaven
And it’s still leading me here

YES... AND GREEN SHAG CARPET... WHEN WE MOVED IN THERE WAS ACTUALLY A RAKE FOR THE GREEN SHAG CARPET...

American Girl by Tom Petty

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well it was kind of cold that night,
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

OH MY MY, OH HELL YES... WE WILL MISS YOU BROTHER
