O.K. I _think_ these are all the unanswered ones: 9)In the deserts of Sudan and the gardens of Japan From Milan to Yucatan, ev’ry woman, ev’ry man 13)We had some good machines But they don’t work no more I loved you once Don’t love you anymore" 18)Love’s the only thing that keeps me here You’re the reason that I’m hanging on My heart’s staying where my heart belongs 19)I know baby It’s hard to be strong Just take the good with the bad And don’t think you’re alone Cause I know All your sad goodbyes Cause I’ve been there before To help you dry your eyes Two from me that bracket the decade: 28) I try to play my music They say my music’s too loud I kept talkin about it I got the big run around When I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground By all the bullshit goin’ round. 1. Ahwa, a place to stay get your booty on the floor tonight make my day. and one extra, 'cause I like this song. 1. You can see the summit but you can’t reach it, It’s the last piece of the puzzle but you just can’t make it fit, Doctor says you’re cured, but you still feel the pain, Aspirations in the clouds, but your hopes go down the drain. With all this bullshit going down ---
