in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
(Peter Gabriel)
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
Through the slow parade of tears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long?
Jackson Brown
Doctor, Doctor, give me the news,
I have a bad case of lovin’ you
was feelin’ . . . so bad,
I asked my family doctor just what I had,
I said, “Doctor, . . .
(Doctor . . .)
Mr. M.D., . . .
(Doctor . . .)
Now can you tell me, tell me, tell me,
What’s ailin’ me?”
(Doctor . . .)
He said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yes, indeed, all you really need . . .
(Is good lovin’)
Gimme that good, good lovin . . .
(Good lovin’)
All I need is lovin’ . . .
(Good lovin’)
Good lovin’, baby.

I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
I told the witch doctor you didn’t love me too
And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do
He said that …
(David Seville)
I took my troubles down to Madame Rue
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She’s got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin’ little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine
I told her that I was a flop with chics
I’ve been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said “What you need is Love Potion Number Nine”
Gypsies tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Gave him a ride filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen he was twenty one
(Cher)
No reason to get excited,
the thief he kindly spoke,
there aren’t many here among us,
who feel that life is but a joke,
but you and I, we’ve been through that,
and this is not our fate,
so let us not talk falsely now,
the hour is getting late.
(Jimi Hendrix)
ETA: Simulpost! Can the next poster work with both strands, I wonder? 
I want a new drug
One that wont make me sick
One that wont make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
I want a new drug
One that wont hurt my head
One that wont make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red
One that wont make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when Im with you
When Im alone with you
Aside: Doh! The phrase “There aren’t many among us, who feel that life is but a joke” should be “There are many among us” I do believe. Can’t believe I typed that! Digs out her Hendrix
I think we’re alone now,
There does’t seem to be anyone around.
I think we’re alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound.
- Tommy James and the Shondells
Kiss me goodbye pushing out before I sleep
can’t you see I try swimming the same deep
water as you is hard “the shallow drowned lose
less than we” you breathe the strangest twist
upon your lips “and we shall be together…”
“kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with
me” and face pushed deep reflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips and
dissapear the ripples clear and laughing break
against your feet and laughing break the mirror
sweet “so we shall be together…”
(The Cure)
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away
(Justin Hayward)
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I’m right
'Cause I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep
- The Romantics
That late in the night when the lights are all out
then she slips off her stockings and shoes
she makes you her lover and lets you discover
the smiles she keeps, she keeps for you
She keeps no, she keeps no
she keeps no secrets from you
(Angels)
I thought love was only true in faerie tales
meant for some-one else but not for me
love was out to get me
that’s the way it seemed
disappointed haunted all my dreams
And then I saw her face!
Now I’m a believer
not a trace
of doubt in my mind!
I’m in love, wooooooh
I’m a believer, I couldn’t leave her if I tried
Just when you think you got it down
Resistance nowhere to be found
They whisper, promises in the dark.
- Pat Benatar.
…Don’t get sad
When people that you trust stab you in the back
So, you thought they were your friends?
Now you know (now you know)
There’s one thing in life that holds
You’re on your own (you’ve gotta grow)
– The The (Matt Johnson), “The Whisperers”
And now I’m all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to.
Without a home, without a friend
without a face to say hello to
But now the night is near
And I can make-believe he’s here
{I’m baa…aack!}
Tonight’s the night… gonna’ be alright…
{“Tonight’s the Night” by Rod Stewart}
