1. “I’ll never forget the first thing she said to me. She said, ‘Hey… you’ve got weasels on your face.’” - Albuquerque
2. “'Cause I’m stranded all alone in the gas station of love  
And I have to use the self service pumps” - One More MInute
3. As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain

**The most poignant song lines you can think of:**

1. “I finally like myself. At last, I like myself.” - Harry Chapin, _Sequel_
2. The Band Played Waltzing Matilda  
_"So they gathered the crippled, the wounded, the maimed, and they shipped us back home to Australia_  
The legless, the armless, the blind, the insane, those proud wounded heroes of Suvla\*  
And as our ship pulled into Circular Quay, I looked at the place where me legs used to be\*  
And thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me; to grieve, to mourn, and to pity."\*
3. “I’d trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday” - Kris Kristofferson - Bobbiy McGee
4. “Not a day goes by, Not a blessed day. But you’re still somewhere part of my life And you won’t go away.” - Bernadette Peters - Not A Day Goes By

6. “And then one day you find ten years have gone behind you” - Time, Pink Floyd
7. “The last to know if you’re happy now / Or if he’s cheated on you Like I cheated on you, oh / You were the last to know” - Always the Last to Know, Del Amitri
8. “You were riding on your mother’s hip/She was shorter than the corn/All the years you took from her/Just by being born” - Jason Isbell, “Children of Children”
9. “I remember, yeah yeah yeah I remember, ooh I remember, Lord I remember Lord I remember, huh huh Ooh Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah! Uh-huh! uh huh! I remember, I remember” - Night Moves - Bob Seger
10. It’s my life, and it’s better left to chance / I might have missed the pain / but I’d have had to miss the dance. – _‘The Dance’, Garth Brooks_
