Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Leonard Cohen
She walks through the corn leadin’ down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin’ sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run
Tom T. Hall
Who is the fox - I am the fox
Who are you - I am me
Who is me - Me is a thief
You’ll bring your poor, poor mother grief
The Hollies
I lay my head on the railroad tracks
I’m waiting on the double E
The railroad don’t run no more
Poor poor pitiful me
Warren Zevon
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
Theme from MASH
A foggy day
In London town
Well, it had me low
It had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had
Somehow lost its charm
Fred Astaire
When I was a bachelor I lived all alone
I worked at the weaver’s trade
And the only, only thing that I did that was wrong
Was to woo a fair young maid
I wooed her in the winter time
Part of the summer too
And the only, only thing that I did that was wrong
Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew
Traditional
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet,
I see her walking now away from me,
So hurriedly. My reason must allow,
For I have wooed, not as I should
A creature made of clay.
When the angel woos the clay,
he’ll lose His wings
at the dawn of the day.
The Chieftains Raglan Road
He took a hundred pounds of clay
And they He said “Hey, listen”
“I’m gonna fix this-a world today”
"Because I know what’s missin’ "
Then He rolled his big sleeves up
And a brand-new world began
He created a woman and-a lots of lovin’ for a man
Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did
Gene McDaniels
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep givin’ all the love you can
Stand by your man
Tammy Wynette
Hold on to love
There’s nothing more important
Treat it as a good thing
Be always ready for that Electric feeling
Jon Anderson
A sweet romance is not for me
I need electricity
If you wanna make me flip
Hit me with a micro chip
I’ll be a diode, cathode, electrode
Overload, generator, oscillator
Make a circuit with me
The Polecats Make a Circuit With Me
These are the bare wires of my life
Since it was cut down the middle by love
Tides have been turning
I have been learning
All my bare wires are alive
All my bare wires are alive
John Mayall
I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous - can’t relax
I can’t sleep 'cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me - I’m a real live wire
Psycho killer, qu’est-ce que c’est
Talking Heads
Singin through you to me
Thunderbolts caught easily
Shouts the truth peacefully
Electricity
Captain Beefheart
Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase
Mellow Yellow, Donovan
It was just after dark when the truck started down
The hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania
Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas
Carrying thirty thousand pounds
[Hit it, Big John]
Of bananas
Come, Mr. Tally-man, tally me banana,
Daylight come and me wan’ go home!
Harry Belafonte
The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don’t they let me go home
This is the worst trip I’ve ever been on
Beach Boys Sloop John B
Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candle light still shining bright
Through the sycamores for me
