Tonight, tonight, tonight

I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it's alright
Like a load on your back that you can't see
But it's alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free, let it go,
Get it away from me, oh

Cause tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
I'm gonna make it right tonight, tonight, tonight, oh

-- Genesis - Written by: Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford & Phil Collins

Say hello to something new
Is what a friend told me to do
'cos beggars can't be choosers and I can't afford to loose
We never touched we never kissed
We never loved though we thought we did
So I walked away and I called it quits
What the eyes don't see, you know the heart won't miss

But I feel like a monkey in winter
And you are a lizard in the sun
Yes I feel like a monkey in winter
And winter's just began

Oh, Red went and bought himself a monkey
Got him from a pawn shop broker.
Taught that monkey how to guzzle beer
And he taught him how to play stud poker.
Last night when they were gambling in the kitchen
The monkey he was taking a beating.
The monkey said "Red, I'm going to shoot you dead
'cause I know that you've been cheating."

Well, run Red run, 'cause he's got your gun
And he's aiming it at your head.
Run Red run, 'cause he's got your gun,
And he's aiming it at your head.
You better get up and wail,
You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead.


Monkey trapped Red in a parking lot
Down along the Avenue.
Monkey said, "Red, you've made a man out of me,
Now I'm going to make a monkey out of you.
Give me your car keys, give me your wallet
Give it to me, or I'll shoot.
Gonna put on your brand new Stetson hat
And go to town in your new brown suit."

Run, Red, Run

Give Me The Keys (And I'll Drive You Crazy)

I can see you've got your motor running
Don't you think you're movin kinda slow
If you feel the way I feel
Let me get behind the wheel
We don't need any destination baby
Anywhere you wanna go

Give me the keys, and I'll drive you crazy
Give me the keys, I'll drive you out of your mind

They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot

from Big Yellow Taxi by Joni M

So remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!
Yeah!
Why does anyone do anything?
I don’t know, I was really drunk at the time!

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah
And I said

Does anybody really know what time it is
Does anybody really care
If so I can’t imagine why
We’ve all got time enough to cry

I saw her on a highway
On a D-train
I saw her eatin' a pizza
On 75th and Broadway
Saw her on a subway
On a biplane
Ahh, I'm getting tired o' this shit
I need a Yellow Cab
Help me get outta this rain

Do you think I could ever care
'Bout a girl who's almost never there?


from Do You Think I Really Care? by Rolling Stones
