Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey

I Will Survive, sung by Gloria Gaynor

 

[fromtheshwa]

I like black and white
(Dreaming of black and white)
You like black and white
Run run away

See chameleon
(Lying there in the sun)
All things to everyone
Run run away

If you're in the swing
(Money ain't everything)
If you're in the swing
Run run away

See chameleon
(Lying there in the sun)
All things to everyone
Run run away


(Slade - Run Runaway)

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there


(Soul Asylum — Runaway Train)

 

[bluebro69]

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder

I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away
And I wonder
A-where she will stay-ay
My little runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway

Runaway, by Del Shannon

 

[fromtheshwa]

Under the anvil of the sun
Sweat, like a train
I come, I come
My body to dust
Scorched by the might of the sun

Burning light, burning white heat
Like wildfire
I sweat a fever
My body screams
Disintegrates in the heat
Our love is the faith that keeps on burning

I love to feel the rain in the summertime
I love to feel the rain on my face
I love to feel the rain in the summertime
I love to feel the rain on my face


(The Alarm - Rain in the Summertime)

 

[kherg007]

It's raining, but there ain't a cloud in the sky
Must have been a tear from your eye
Everything will be okay

Yeah funny, I thought I felt a sweet summer breeze
Must have been you sighing so deep
Don't worry, we're going to find a way

I'm waiting, waiting on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Yeah I'm waiting on a sunny day

Without you, I'm working with the rain falling down
I'm half a party in a one dog town
I need you to chase these blues away

Waitin' on a sunny day - Springsteen

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Had a dream I was born
To be naked in the eye of the storm
And now it's standing right in front of me
What's it going to do to me, who knows?


(Roger Hodgson — Had a Dream (Sleeping with the Enemy))

 

[fromtheshwa]

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm


(The Doors - Riders on the Storm)

 

[pamajino]

The sun'll come out
Nothing good ever comes easy
I know times are rough
But winners don't quit
So don't you give up
The sun'll come out
But we've been struggling endless days
Someday we'll find the love
'Cause after the storm's
When the flowers bloom

Kali Uchis - After The Storm

 

[bluebro69]

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore (The sun ain't gonna shine anymore)
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky (The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky)
The tears are always clouding your eyes (The tears are always clouding your eyes)
Sun ain't gonna shine anymore
When you're without love, baby

The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine, by the Walker Brothers

 

[fromtheshwa]

Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize
I guess you had your way
You see I gotta make you understand
I know it sounds a foolish thing to say
But it don't matter baby 'cos' today's another day

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life and let me see

(Electric Light Orchestra - Shine a Little Love)

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Whoooooa heaven let your light shine down
Love is in the water, love is in the air
Show me where to look, tell me will love be there?

(Collective Soul — Shine)

 

[K Douglas]

A resurrection, nice.

Love is in the air
Every where I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

Love is in the Air by John Paul Young (1977)

 

[kherg007]

The Hollies (1973):

Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

 

[K Douglas]

How do I breathe
Without you here by my side?
How will I see
When your love brought me to the light?

How Do I Breathe? Mario (2007)

 

[kherg007]

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy is spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

Moody Blues "Late Lament"

 

[bluebro69]

Sometimes, I can't help the feeling that I'm
Living a life of illusion
And oh, why can't we let it be
And see through the hole in this wall of confusion
I just can't help the feeling, I'm living a life of illusion

Joe Walsh

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none

Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white

And which is an illusion

Moody Blues "Late Lament"

Did an art project using these spoken words back in high school.
Had a few people asking about my LSD intake.
Great album!

Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation

Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey

Billy Ray was the preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered 'round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was, ooh, yes, he was

Dusty Springfield "Son of a Preacher Man"
