So you think you're a Romeo
Playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home

We were sailing along
On Moonlight Bay,
You could hear the voices calling,
They seemed to say,
"You have broken my heart,
Now don't go away,"
As we sang our old sweet song on Moonlight Bay.

--Early 20th century popular song, USA (I'd have to look up the composer)

Home...where my thoughts are strayin'
Home...where the music's playin'
Home...where my love light's waiting
silently for me.

Homeward Bound, Simon & Garfunkle

Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spendin' cash
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Someone's in the kitchen, I kno-o-o-ow,
Someone's in the kitchen with Di-naaaaaaaaaaahhhh!
Stummin' on the old banjo...

If it's too late to get on this train, that's fine with me

I know a triflin' man,
They call him Triflin' Sam,

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
no-one you see, is smarter than he,
and we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
flying there-under, under the sea

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
Tryin' to make a livin
And doin' the best I can,
But when it's time to leave
I'll hope you'll understand,
I was born a ramblin' man.

Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Anywhere in the U.S.A.
Let's go get lost
Let's go get lost

I've got fourteen men now, I only want one more
I've got fourteen men now, and I only want one more
As soon as I can get one, I'll let these fourteen go
I can take my monkey men, and stand them all in line
Anybody can count them, one two three four five six seven eight times

Do you bury me when I’m gone
Do you teach me while I’m here
Just as soon as I belong
Then it’s time I disappear
HA!!!


I disappear - Metallica Yeah!

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear

Rise up with the new dawn's early morning
Feel the sunshine warm upon your face
Tomorrow's come a long, long way to help you
Yes, it's your saving grace

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Sunshine go away today,
I don't feel much like dancin',
Some man's gone and tried to run my life,
I don't know what he's askin'.

How much does it cost? (I'll buy it)
The time is all we've lost (I'll try it)
And he can't even run his own life,
I'll be damned if he'll run mine!

Sunshine, Jonathan Edwards

I drink so much coffee, till I grind it in my sleep
I drink so much coffee, I grind it in my sleep
And when it get like that, you know it can't be beat
It's so doggone good that it made me talk out of my head
It's so doggone good it made me talk out of my head
And it's better to me than any that I have ever had

Ha ha! I beat ya W'ON, but I'll be gracious...

Wrong or right be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned we'll make a stand
Love can bind but mine is blind
Others stray, but I won't walk away


I won't walk away - Jewell

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment
But I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type
That was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind
Twisted -written by Ross & Grey, performed by Joni Mitchell
