Remo Four / "Peter Gunn"



Remo Four / "Like a Rolling Stone"

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for thats not good.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
You'd better take that diamond ring,
you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him because you can't refuse
You ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a rolling stone?

Remo Four / "In the first place" (from the movie "Wonderwall")

Remo Four / "Ain't Love Good, Ain't Love Proud"

Remo Four / "Rock Candy"

Björk / "Declare Independence"

Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!

Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!

Start your own currency!
Make your own stamp
Protect your language

Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

Make your own flag!

Raise your flag! Higher, higher!

Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!

Damn colonists
Ignore their patronizing
Tear off their blindfolds
Open their eyes

Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!

With a flag and a trumpet
Go to the top of your highest mountain!

Raise your flag! Higher, higher!

Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!

Raise the flag! Higher, higher!

Radka Toneff / "Ballad of the Sad Young Men"

Sing a song of sad young men, glasses full of rye

All the news is bad again, kiss your dreams goodbye

All the sad young men, sitting in the bars

Knowing neon nights, and missing all the stars



All the sad young men, drifting through the town

Drinking up the night, trying not to drown



All the sad young men, singing in the cold

Trying to forget, that they're growing old



All the sad young men, choking on their youth

Trying to be brave, running from the truth



Autumn turns the leaves to gold, slowly dies the heart

Sad young men are growing old, that's the cruelest part



All the sad young men, seek a certain smile

Someone they can hold, for just a little while



Tired little girl, does the best she can

Trying to be gay, for a sad young men



While a grimy moon, watches from above

All the sad young men, who play at making love



Misbegotten moon shine for sad young men

Let your gentle light guide them home again

All the sad, sad, sad, young men
