Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (hoo)

"Billie Jean" - Michael Jackson

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

From a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia
Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
And his daring life of crime made him a legend in his time
East and west of the Rio Grande

(Billy Joel — The Legend of Billy The Kid)

 

[bluebro69]

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads

--John Denver

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Country boy…
You got your feet in L.A. but your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin back, I can remember the time when I sang my songs for free
Country boy… you got your feet in L.A.
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then my heart keeps goin home

(Glen Campbell - Country Boy)

 

[fromtheshwa]

But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day
And I say, what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six?
I got the fever for the flavour
The payback will be later
But still I need a fix

"Drinking in LA" - Bran Van 3000

 

[K Douglas]

Payback is a thing you gotta see
Hell! Brother do any damn thing to me
You sold me out for chicken change
(Yes you did)
You told me that they, they had it all arranged
You had me down, and that's a fact
And now you punk, you gotta get ready
For the big payback

James Brown "The Big Payback" (1973)

 

[onomatopoeia]

I bought a scooter and I rented a shack
Out in the sun by the railroad track
I got a job and I'm a-breakin' my back
Workin' and workin' for the big payback

 

[fromtheshwa]

Some days won't end ever and some days pass on by
I'll be working here forever, at least until I die
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
I'm supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I won't

Workin' for a livin'
(Workin')
Workin' for a livin'
(Workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm taking what they're giving 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'

"Workin' For a Livin'" - Huey Lewis & the News

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance
Everybody's goin off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance ohhhh
You want a piece of my heart
You better start from the start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby let's go

(Loverboy — Working for the Weekend)

 

[fromtheshwa]

Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Wang Chung tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Wang Chung tonight
Everybody have fun

(Wang Chung - Everybody Have Fun Tonight)

 

[Pepe_Grande]

Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

 

[bluebro69]

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out

Revolution, the Beatles

 

[fromtheshwa]

Sorrow
What does revolution mean to you?
To save today's like wishing in the wind
All my beautiful friends have all gone away
Like the waves
They flow and ebb and die

There's a revolution
There's a revolution
There's a, there's a revolution
There's a revolution


(The Cult - Revolution)

 

[kherg007]

I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't wanna be your downtime
I don't wanna be your stupid game

With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just wanna see some palm trees
I will try and shake away this disease

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die

Everclear- "Santa Monica"

 

[fromtheshwa]

And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
I remember the day you told me it's over


(Theory of a Dead Man - Santa Monica)

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

I'm having wicked dreams of leaving Tennessee
Hear Santa Monica… I swear it's calling me
Won't make my mama proud, it's gunna cause a scene
She sees her baby girl, I know she's gonna scream
God! What have you done?!
You're a pink pony girl and you dance at the club
Oh mama, I'm just having fun on the stage in my heels
It's where I belong down at the Pink Pony Club

(Chappell Roan — Pink Pony Club)

 

[wigglee]

I'm too sexy for my shirt
So sexy...it hurts.
