I don't think I can handle this
A cloudy day in Metropolis
I think I'll talk to my analyst
I got so bad for this little journalist
Is drivin' up the wall and through the roof
Lois and Clark in a telephone booth
I think I'm goin' outta my brain
I got it so bad for little Miss Lois Lane

Oh, Lois Lane please put me in your plan
Yeah, Lois Lane you don't need no Superman
Come on downtown and stay with me tonight
I, I got a pocket full of Kryptonite
I got a pocket full of Kryptonite
I, I got a pocket full of Kryptonite

You might wake up some mornin' to the sound of something moving past your window in the wind and if you're quick enough to rise You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's shadow Out on the new horizon You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings. And if the sleep has left your ears You might hear the footsteps running through an open meadow. Don't be concerned, it will not harm you it's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of. Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love. You might have heard my footsteps echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind. I might have even called your name as I ran searching after something to believe in. You might have seen me runnin' through the long abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind. If you remember something there that glided past you followed close by heavy breathin. Don't be concerned, it will not harm you, it's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of. Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.

I knew from the first time I kissed you
That you were the troublin' kind
'Cause the honey drips from your sweet lips
One taste and I'm outta my mind

I love you so much I know what I'll do
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through
'Cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly

Butterfly, performed by Andy Williams

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

I watch as they pour honey in your ear
Like moths with their tattered wings
Swing back into your flame again
But dear, can’t you see there’s nothing for you here
And I know it’s all honey and smoke
They don't really love you like I do


(case/lang/veirs — Honey and Smoke)

Oh Honey by Delegation (1977)

Yeah, when she arrives and stands by my side
Makes me so proud to know her
High-steppin' dames with high-soundin' names
There ain't nothin' they could show her, yeah

Oh, honey (Beautiful honey)
Oh, honey (You make me feel so proud, so proud, baby)

 

[bluebro69]

Now I've gotta love so deep, in the pit of my heart
And each day it grows more and more
I'm not ashamed to come, and plead to you baby
If pleadin' keeps you from, walkin' out that door

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it (sweet darlin')
Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)

Ain't Too Proud to Beg by Holland/Whitfield, originally by The Temptations

Stars appear and the shadows a-fallin'
You can hear my heart callin'
And a little bit of lovin' makes everything right
And I'm gonna see my baby tonight

All of my love, all of my kissin'
You don't know what you've been a-missin'
Oh boy, when you're with me, ho boy
The world can see that you were meant for me

Oh Boy, performed by Buddy Holly

Shadows are fallin' and I'm runnin' out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while
When you get up in the mornin' and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There's a train leavin' nightly called "When All is Said and Done"
Keep me in your heart for a while

[eddie kerr]

Loved Buddy Holly, my first ever rock star hero at age 16, (man I am old). I wore black rimmed eye glasses and had a curly q? hair style, think I bought every record he did including his original group, The Crickets. Many singers in that era copied his style
So many favourites.

In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
We're still striving for the sky, no taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done

(ABBA — When All is Said and Done)

 

[pamajino]

I feel it when I drive
I'm afraid of that flashing light
But who's afraid of the night
What stranger than a heart
With the false stops and starts
And these infinitе scars

Purr - Who Is Afraid of Blue

 

[bluebro69]

Who's gonna hold you down when you shake?
Who's gonna come around when you break?

You can't go on, thinking nothing's wrong, but now
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?
Oh, you know you can't go on thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

Drive, The Cars

You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest.
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want.
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt.
You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left there on a beach.
Well you tell me things
I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach.

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?


(U2 - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses)

“Who’s Johnny?” she said and smiled in her special way
“Johnny,” she said, “you know I love you.”
“Who’s Johnny?” she said and tried to look the other way
Her eyes gave her away


(El DeBarge — Who’s Johnny)

 

[fromtheshwa]

I only like dreaming
All the day long
Where no one is screaming:

"Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good (Johnny)
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good" (Johnny)


(Men at Work - Be Good Johnny)

And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart


(Johnny Hates Jazz — Shattered Dreams)

 

[K Douglas]

And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart


(Johnny Hates Jazz — Shattered Dreams)

[Chorus]
Run away, run away, run away and save your life
Run away, run away, run away if you want to survive
Run away, run away, run away and save your life
Run away, run away, run away if you want to survive

[Verse 1]
Money, sex in full control, a generation without soul
Perfect people in a perfect world
Behind closed doors, all in control
Life, in a world of luxury
Cold cash money mentality
You gotta keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith
You'd better keep the faith and run away

Run Away - Real McCoy 1994
