Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty

 She grew up in an Indiana town

Had a good-lookin' mama who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights

Well, she moved down here the age of eighteen
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you baby, but I got to keep movin' on
Keep movin' on"

Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again

Well, I don't know, but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of going down
Tired of myself, tired of this town

Oh, my my, oh, hell yes
Honey, put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long

Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again

There's pigeons down on Market Square
She's standin' in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room
The nightfall will be comin' soon

Oh, my my, oh, hell yes.
You got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit my last number, I walked to the road

Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again

Skip to My Lou by Judy Garland

 Skip, skip,skip to my lou

Skip, skip, skip to my lou
Skip, skip, skip to my lou

Put on your Sunday, go to meetin'
And I'll take you by the hand
If you will be my dancin' partner
We will dance to beat the band

So join the promenade
And lead the big parade
And if you don't get home at all
Your pa will understand

Oh, choose partners, skip to my lou
Choose partners, skip to my lou
Choose partners, skip to my lou
Skip to my lou, my darlin'

Flies in the buttermilk, shoo, shoo, shoo
Flies in the buttermilk, shoo, shoo, shoo
Flies in the buttermilk, shoo, shoo, shoo
Skip to my lou, my darlin'

I'll be glad to go with you
So prithee do not tarry
But if I do, it's up to you
To let me dance with Harry

Skip to my lou
(Charlie)
Skip to my lou
(Johnny)
Skip to my lou
Skip to my lou, my darlin'

Skip to my lou
Skip to my lou

Corner boy, buck and wing, corner girl
Ida booth by to the center and whirl
Everybody dance

Lost my partner
(Skip to my lou)
Lost my partner
(Skip to my lou)
Lost my partner
(Skip)
Skip to my lou, my darlin'

I'll find another one prettier than you
I'll find another one prettier than you
I'll find another one prettier than you
Go to another party

Oh, I'll fly away to a neighborin' state
I don't care what my friends say
We'll dance and sing till broad daylight
I won't get home till Wednesday
(Skip to my lou)

Thursday
(Skip to my lou)
Friday
(Skip to my lou)

Skip, skip, skip to my lou
Skip, skip, skip to my lou
Skip to my lou

LITTLE KNOWN FACT... THIS SONG IS ABOUT LAXITIVE ABUSE TO LOSE WEIGHT WITH LOU HAVING THE BRITISH MEANING

Heartbeat by The Psychedelic Furs

 she's a heartbeat

yeah, she's a heartbeat

she's a door at the end of a dead end street

she's a heartbeat

and footsteps i hear her footsteps

here comes rumours and lies

here comes my life of crime

i hear footsteps

when the music goes down

and the traffic is stopped

and nobody talks at all

when they turn up the town

i hear a heartbeat

and i've shut all the shades

and the radio stops

and nobody moves at all

when the city's asleep

i hear a heartbeat

i hear a heartbeat

in the shadows

out in the shadows

it's like walking on glass

it's the end of the show

in the shadows

and sweet dreams

she sells you sweet dreams

it's like movies and trash

where there's always a girl

and she's sweet dreams

when the music goes down

and the traffic is stopped

and nobody talks at all

when they turn up the town

i hear a heartbeat

and i've shut all the shades

and the radio stops

and nobody moves at all

when the city's asleep

i hear a heartbeat

i hear a heartbeat

heartbeat

WELL DUDE IF ITS LATE AT NIGHT AND YOU HEAR A HEARTBEAT ITS PROBABLY TINITUS... THATS HOW IT STARTS... THEN YOU GO DEAF
