As Time Goes By by Dooley Wilson

 You must remember this

A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs are never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs are never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours by The Smiths

 Oh, hello

I am the ghost of troubled JoeHung by his pretty white neckSome eighteen months agoI traveled to a mystical time zoneAnd I missed my bedAnd I soon came homeThey said, "there's too much caffeineIn your bloodstreamAnd a lack of real spice in your life"
I said, "Leave me aloneBecause I'm alright, dadSurprised to still be on my own"
Oh, but don't mention loveI'd hate the strain of the pain againA rush and a push and the land thatWe stand on is oursIt has been before so it shall be againAnd people who are uglier than you and I
They take what they need and just leaveOh, but don't mention loveI'd hate the pain of the strain all over againA rush and a push and the land thatWe stand on is oursIt has been before, so why can't it be now?
And people who are weaker than you and IThey take what they want from lifeOh, but don't mention loveNo, no, don't mention love!A rush and a push and the land thatWe stand on is oursYour youth may be goneBut you're still a young man
So phone me, phone meSo phone me, phone me, phone meOh, I think I'm in loveOh, I think I'm in loveOh, I think I'm in love, think I'm in love

Mary Had A Little Lamb by Stevie Ray Vaughan

 Mary had a little lamb

His fleece was white as snow
Everywhere that child went
Your little lamb was sure to go

He followed her to school one day
And broke the teacher's rule
What a time did they have
That day at school.

Tisket tasket baby
A green and yellow basket
Sent a letter to my baby
On my way I passed it

Man On The Burning Tightrope by Firewater

Is everybody in? Is everybody in?

Well once upon a time there was a
happy ever-after to be starting,
but you wont hear one today.
The man is sweating bullets
and his heart beats out a cold tattoo
as the band begins to play.

So everybody stand,
everybody wont you give a big hand
to the man on the burning tightrope?

He's always walked this tightrope
between the devil and the deep blue sea
a monkey on a wire
but he's drunk his cup of sorrow
hes thrown his curses at the moon
and it festers on the fire.

So everybody stand,
everybody wont you give a big hand
to the man on the burning tightrope?

Come on, people, let's hear it
put your hands together
for the one, the only,
the dieing man on the burning tightrope

(Hurry up, George! It only takes one man to blow the whole parade!)

He could have been somebody,
he could have been somebody else.
Yes, it could have been much worse,
but now the show is over, people.
There's really nothing more to see,
hope you got your money's worth.

So everybody stand,
everybody wont you give a big hand
to the man on the burning tightrope?

Is it just me or is it getting a little warm in here?
Inch by inch, mile by mile, by day by day, by year by year...
Come on, people, come on, put your hands together.


DUDE... AS YOU NO DOUBT KNOW YOU ARE SOMEBODY... BUT SO ARE 7.5 BILLION OTHERS... SO JUST GIRD YOUR LOINS AND GET ON WITH LIFE

Mount Wroclai (Idle Days) by Beirut

 And I know when time

Will pass by slowWithout my heartWhat can I doYou're in the hallsThe bell gives way to a larger swellWithout my heartWhat can I do, ohWroclai
And we grow fatOn the charms of our idle dreary daysSeen the shadows growSee an ominous displayWith no alarmCould we say we'd have expected this way(under stars?) have diedGive incent to playWroclai

Hijabi by Mona Hayder

What that hair look like
Bet that hair look nice
Don’t that make you sweat?
Don’t that feel too tight?
Yo what yo hair look like
Bet yo hair look nice
How long your hair is
You need to get yo life
You only see Oriental
You steady working that dental
You poppin' off at the lip
And run ya mouth like a treadmill
Not your exotic vacation
I’m bored with your fascination
I need that PayPal, PayPal, PayPal
If you want education

All around the world
Love women every shading
Be so liberated
All around the world
Love women every shading
Power run deep
So even if you hate it

I still wrap my hijab
Wrap my hijab
Wrap my hijab
Wrap, wrap my hijab
Keep swaggin' my hijabis
Swag-swaggin' my hijabis
Swaggin' my hijabis
Swag-swaggin' my hijabis

Me and my hijabi ladies
We was born in the eighties
So pretty like the Euphrates
And party like some Kuwaitis
Deeper than some diplomas
Current like some hot yoga
Takin' back the misnomers and
Teleportin' through trauma
Teleportin' through trauma
Teleportin' through trauma
I been stackin' my karma
Nefertiti, no drama
Make a feminist planet
Women haters get banished
Covered up or not don’t
ever take us for granted


All around the world
Love women every shading
Be so liberated
All around the world
Love women every shading
Power run deep
So even if you hate it
I still wrap my hijab
Wrap my hijab
Wrap my hijab
Wrap, wrap my hijab

Keep swaggin' my hijabis
Swag-swaggin' my hijabis
Swaggin' my hijabis

Swag-swaggin' my hijabis

You’re just jealous of my sisters
These Mipsters, these hippies
These prissies, these Sufis
These dreddies, these Sunnis
These Shii’s, Yemenis
Somalis, Libnanis, Pakistanis
These Soories, Sudanis

Iraqis, Punjabies
Afghanis, Yazeedis
Khaleejis, Indonesians
Egyptians, Canadians
Algerians, Nigerians
Americans, Libyans
Tunisians, Palestinians
Hidden beyond the Mekong in Laos

Senegalese, and Burkina Faso

I still wrap my hijab
Wrap my hijab
Wrap my hijab
Wrap, wrap my hijab
Keep swaggin' my hijabis
Swag-swaggin' my hijabis
Swaggin' my hijabis
Swag-swaggin' my hijabis

I still wrap my hijab
Wrap my hijab
Wrap my hijab
Wrap, wrap my hijab
Keep swaggin' my hijabis
Swag-swaggin' my hijabis
Swaggin' my hijabis

Swag-swaggin' my hijabis
