Just a few more weary days and then,
I’ll fly away.
To a land where joy shall never end,
I’ll fly away.
– Performed by many artists, notably the tandem of Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch
Hey little bird, fly away home, your house is on fire and your children are alone.
I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down
and cry cry cry
I walk along the city streets
So dark with rage and fear
And I…
I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
I wish I had the wings to fly away from here
(Annie Lennox)

Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola
Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
why she walks like a woman and talks like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola
(The Kinks)
She had muscles and a crew cut
She had shoes like mine
She had a way with a pool cue
She had a pick up line…
Cowboy Mouth, Looked like a woman but dressed like a man
I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S O D A, soda
I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said “Yoda”
Y O D A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I’ve been around, but I ain’t never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he’s wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
(Wierd Al)
So never judge a book by it’s cover
Or who you’re going to love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a venus
Lord imagine my surprise
Dude look like a lady
Dude look like a lady
Dude look like a lady
Dude look like a lady
(Aerosmith)
Lady in red is dancing with me… ( cheek to cheek )
Theres nobody here its just you and me
Its were I wanna be
I hardly know this beauty by my side
I’ll never forget the way you looked tonight.
- Eric Clapton
and now i know that you are mine,
you bring me love and peace of mind.
you see the real me,
and i know that you’re the key…
suddenly you’re seeing me, just the way i am!
suddenly you’re hearing me,
so i’m talking just fast as i can, to you!
suddenly, every part of me,
needs to know every part of you!
(Angry Anderson)
Knowing me knowing you
There is nothing we can do
knowing me knowing you
Is the best we can do
-ABBA
To a land where the river runs free
To a land through the green country
To a land to a shining sea
To a land where the horses run free
To a land where the children are free
And you and me are free to be
And you and me are free to be
And you and me are free to be you and me
So you look into the land and it will tell you a story
story 'bout a journey ended long ago
listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
maybe you can hear them talking like I do
“. . they’re gonna betray you, they’re gonna forget you
are you gonna let them take you over that way . .”
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land

There’s a gator in the bushes, he’s calling my name.
Saying come on boy, you better make it back home again.
There’s so many roads I’ve travelled but they all kinda look the same.
There’s a gator in the bushes , Lord, he’s calling my name.
- Molly Hatchet
[Hijack]I’d love to know if anyone is the right age to know where my gem came from[/hijack]
Come said the boy, let’s go down to the sand
Let’s do what we wanna do, let me be a man for you
(Mondo Rock)
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
-The Kinks
It was you my brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when
We used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da
(Van Morrison)
Way back in history ten-thousand years
Ever since the world began
There’s been a whole lot of women shed a whole lot of tears
For a brown eyed handsome man
(Chuck Berry)
