by Pete Shelley
You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse
Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with?
I can't see much of the future
Unless we find out what's to blame
What a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize
That we are the same

Mama, You Been on My Mind
by Bob Dylan
Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama, you been on my mind
I don't mean trouble please don't put me down or get upset
I am not pleading or saying I can't forget you
I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent, but yet
Mama, you been on my mind
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts, they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow
Mama, you're just on my mind
I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please, understand me, I have no place I'm calling you to go
I'm just whispering to myself, so I can't pretend that I don't know
Mama, you are on my mind
When you wake up in the morning, baby look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind

I've Been Waiting
by Matthew Sweet
When you said to me
'You are not so old'
Did I know it then
'Cause I had just been told?
I didn't think I'd find you
Perfect in so many ways
But I've been waiting
And I want to have you
The secret on your lips
That nobody knows
Gentle in your eyes
You can wear my clothes
I didn't think I'd find you
Perfect in so many ways
But I've been waiting
And I want to have you

All Things Must Pass
by George Harrison
A sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
A sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays the nighttime
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away

Just Shy of Sure
by Elizabeth Stokes
Love in memory
Was a plague that consumed me
Shifted all my priorities
Things I'd die to keep
Swept through all that I hoped to reap
God, I loved how it ruined me
I have kept the hurt
Buried deep into winter dirt
I watch at night when the mound stirs
This is not the burn I've known
It's an ache in my every bone
Maybe you want to be alone
Maybe I...
My head is aching
But if I keep very still
I might be able
To make this work until
The end of the weekend
Weak, but I'll pretend
That you still want me
I'm the one you adore
But I'm just shy of sure
When do things suffice?
Can you be happy all your life?
Do you think it can happen twice?
Maybe that's a swing
Hey, you can't win without entering
Are you cool to lose everything?
Roll the die

She Likes Basketball
by Hal David
She likes basketball
How about that?
We have something in common
To talk about
Basketball
She likes basketball
How about that?
I have someplace to take her
When we go out
Basketball
Who ever would've dreamed?
Ever would've thought?
That my favorite girl
Likes my favorite sport
Like any other kid
I would make believe
With a ball in my hand
I'd dribble right past
All the others real fast
And I'd be six-foot eight
And my jump shot was really great
She likes basketball
Isn't that wild?
It's an omen that good things
Are on their way
Things to share
We share basketball
Couldn't you die?
From a simple beginning like this
We may get somewhere
It's nice to dream
Someday it might be

For What It's Worth
by Stephen Stills
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look
What's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look
What's going down?
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, 'Hooray for our side'
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
