This is the next century
Where the universal’s free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future has been sold
Every night we’re gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing along
Though the words are wrong
Blur
Without you
There’d be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There’d be no world left for me
And I, baby I don’t know what I would do
I’d be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything real in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
Trisha Yearwood
Consider this
Consider this the hint of the century
Consider this the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I’ve said too much
- R.E.M.
Planning everything for two
Doing everything with you
And now that we’re through
I just don’t know what to do
- Burt F. Bacharach, Hal David
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper, getting nowhere
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home
(the Beatles)

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I’ve been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time
And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home
I can’t find my way home
Steve Winwood/Blind Faith
I lit a light on my gloom
And now there’s only a half-moon
I need to find a way home
On the moon to be alone
And so we make our way
Through the sand of a sullen day
Whittle away, whittle away
(Carbon Leaf)
Now, I’m going to love you
'Til the heavens stop the rain
I’m going to love you
'Til the stars fall from the sky
For you and I
- The Doors
So long, I’ve been looking too hard
I’ve been waiting too long
Sometimes I don’t know what I will find
I only know it’s a matter of time
When you love someone
When you love someone
- Foreigner
But it’s alright while the lights of the city shine so bright
It’s all right till the last winding train fades from sight
Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win
While these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in
Al Stewart
So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody 'til I met you
But you keep-a me waiting
All of the time, what can I do?
The Kinks
I’m waiting for my man
Here he comes, he’s all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He’s never early, he’s always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
- The Velvet Underground
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe in
What you see?
Zero 7/ Sophie Barker
See, I’ve been so blind, oh so blind
I’ve wasted time wasted so much time
Walking on the wire, high wire, yeah
But I won’t let the show go on
- Leo Sayer
You walk out on the high wire
You’re a dancer on thin ice
You pay no heed to the danger
And less to advice
Your footsteps are forbidden
But with knowledge of your sin
You throw your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind
(Dire Straits)

Let me ride on the Wall Of Death one more time
Let me ride on the Wall Of Death one more time
You can waste your time on the other rides
This is the nearest to being alive
Oh let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death

It’s just the danger, danger when you’re riding at your own risk

So put me on a highway
Show me a sign
Take it to the limit
One more time
- The Eagles
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
(Pink Floyd)
What’s been going on
Now that you have gone
There’s no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Squeeze
Nowhere to run to, baby (nowhere to run, nowhere to hide)
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby (nowhere to run, nowhere to hide)
Nowhere to hide
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Martha & The Vendellas
She was a princess
Queen of the highway

Take us to madre
The Doors
Well, everybody is young forever
There’s so much to tell you, so little time
I’ve come a long way since the whatever
Shit, I still see a word, think of you
There is so much that I can’t do
- R.E.M.
Now that you’re gone
All that’s left is a band of gold
All that’s left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me
- Freda Payne (Holland–Dozier–Holland)
