GROUND Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (Two, One, Liftoff)

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much "she knows"

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you "Here Am I floating round a tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

Livin' On The Edge
Aerosmith

There's something wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise, yeah

We're livin' on the edge

Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, aggravation is getting to you, yeah
If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is FALLing
Even if it wasn't, would you still come crawling
Back again?
I bet you would, my friend
Again and again and again and again and again

Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, aggravation is getting to you, yeah
If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is falling
Even if it wasn't, would you still come crawling
Back again?
I bet you would, my friend
Again and again and again and again and

There's something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go

Walk On The Wild Side
Lou Reed

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."

Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving HEAD
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the colored girls go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place
Where they said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, Joe,
Take a walk on the wild side."

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen them go, go, go
They said, "Hey, sugar,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
All right, huh

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the colored girls say,
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

Holiday Inn
Elton John

Boston at last and the plane's touching down
Our hostess is handing the hot towels around
From a terminal gate to a black limousine
It's a ten minute ride to the Holiday Inn

Boredom's a pastime that one soon acquired
Where you get to the stage where you're not even tired
Kicking your heels till the time comes around
To pick up your bags and head out of town

Slow down Joe, I'm a rock and roll man
I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands
And you ain't seen nothing till you've been
In a motel baby like the HOLIDAY Inn

Slow down Joe, I'm a rock and roll man
I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands
And you ain't seen nothing till you've been
In a motel baby like the Holiday Inn

Tie Your Mother Down
Queen

Get your party gown, a-get your pigtail down
A-get your heart beatin', baby
Got my timin' right, I got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight, my little school babe
Your momma says you don't, and your daddy says you won't
And I'm burnin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time, oh no

Tie your MOTHER down, tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors, I don't need him nosing around
Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

"You're such a dirty louse, go get out of my house"
That's all I ever get from your
Poor family ties, in fact, I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out alright
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that snipin' and grusslin'

Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimmin' with a brick (that's all right)
Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine
Your mommy and your daddy are gonna plague me 'til I die
They can't understand I'm just a peace lovin' guy

Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Get that big, big, big, big, big, big daddy outta doors
Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
All your love tonight
Gimme every inch of your love
Just tonight
All your love tonight
Yeah, and now I get notice I'm inclined, yeah
All your love

Nowhere Man
The Beatles

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a POINT of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me

Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man can you see me at all

Nowhere man, don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me

Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

By the Sword
Slash

With the horses that you ride
And the feelings left inside
Comes a time you need to leave all that behind
Well they claim they'd like to know,
Anyone could let it go
And the people gather around for the last show

Well there is a reward,
To live and die by the SWORD
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind
All the worldly possessions,
Are left for recollections
And finally it's all gone!

They're releasing all the hounds
What is lost can still be found
When you hop up off your feat, You're on the ground
Well there's some who choose to run,
Following the setting sun
And now it seems the journey's has begun

Well there is a reward,
To live and die by the sword
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind
All the worldly possessions,
Are left for recollections
And finally it's all gone!
With the horses that you ride
And the feelings left inside
there's a time you need to leave it all behind

Well there is no reward,
To live and die by the sword
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind
All the worldly possessions,
Are left for recollections
And finally it's all gone!

Shape Of My Heart
Sting

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
[Studio version:] The hidden law of a probable outcome
[Live version:] The hidden laws of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the SWORDS of a soldier
I know that the clubs are WEAPONS of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the Jack of diamonds
He may lay the Queen of spades
He may conceal a King in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one

But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart

exactly.. not as much head on traffic in a plane!

I don't think I'm ready to trust it.. I'd prefer to drive myself

Brothers In Arms
Dire Straits

These mist-covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is in lowlands
And always will be
Someday, you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be BROTHERS in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell, and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Are You Gonna Be My Girl?
Jet

Let's go
So 1, 2, 3, take my hand and come with me
Because you look so fine
And I really wanna make you mine
I say you look so fine
That I really wanna make you mine
Oh 4, 5, 6, come on and get your kicks
Now you don't need that money
When you look like that, do you honey

Big black boots
LONG brown hair
She's so sweet
With her jet black stare
Well I could see, you home with me
But you were with another man, yeah
I know we ain't got much to say
Before I let you get away, yeah
I said, are you gonna be my girl

So 1, 2, 3, take my hand and come with me
Because you look so fine
And I really wanna make you mine
I say you look so fine
That I really wanna make you mine
Oh 4, 5, 6, come on and get your kicks
Now you don't need that money
With a face like that, do you

Big black boots
Long brown hair
She's so sweet
With her jet black stare
Well I could see, you home with me
But you were with another man, yeah
I know we ain't got much to say
Before I let you get away, yeah
I said, are you gonna be my girl
Oh yeah, oh yeah, come on
I could see, you home with me
But you were with another man, yeah
I know we ain't got much to say
Before I let you get away, yeah
Uh, be my girl
Be my girl
Are you gonna be my girl, yeah

Rocket Man
Elton John

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour 9:00 a.m.
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a LONG long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them
If you did
And all this science
I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man
A rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

The Logical Song
Supertramp

When I WAS young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me

But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am

I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!
Oh take it, take it, take it, yeah

But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please (Oh won't you tell me)
Please tell me what we've learned (Can you hear me)
I know it sounds absurd (Oh won't you help me)
Please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
'Cause I was feeling so logical
D-d-d-d-d-d-digital
One, two, three, five
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Ooh it's getting unbelievable, yeah

..love this tune!

Land of Confusion
Genesis

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
There burning into the night

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

Well, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Ooh, Superman, where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me, why this is a land of confusion?

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
Ooh, when the sun WAS shining
Yes, and the stars were bright all through the night
And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight
So long ago

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep

Too many men, there's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see, this is a land of confusion?

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we've given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to

Gold On the Ceiling
The Black Keys

Down in the waves
She screams again
Roar at the door
My mind can't take much more
I could never drown
They wanna get my
They wanna get my

GOLD on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no blood in my eye

Clouds covered love's
Barbed-wire fence
Strung up, strung out
I just can't go without
I could never drown
They wanna get my
They wanna get my

Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no blood in my eye
They wanna get my
They wanna get my

Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no blood in my eye

Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no blood in my eye

Ouch!

..talk about exaggeration! I don't know anybody who has ever died waiting. I think you have a misconception of universal healthcare. I'm in my 60's and have had great healthcare all my life. ..for free

Merry Christmas!

With or Without You
U2

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I'll wait without you
With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You GIVE it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
and nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you, oh-oh
I can't live
With or without you
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
With or without you
With or without you, oh
I can't live, with or without you
With or without you

Financing for healthcare? Wow.. that's tough! What happens if your credit is bad? I'm glad we don't have to worry about any of that.

..it has a logo on the steering wheel, pretty sure it's a Corvette!

In the Air Tonight
Phil Collins

I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Oh, Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life
Oh, Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight?
Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I SAW what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Oh, Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh, Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Oh, Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life
Oh, Lord Oh, Lord

Well, I remember
I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget? It's the first time
The last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No, you don't fool me
Well, the hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Oh, Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh, Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh, Lord
I can feel coming in the air tonight
Oh, Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh, Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight
Oh, Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
I can feel in the air tonight
Oh, Lord
Oh Lord, oh, Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh Lord, oh, Lord

Well I'm rural, so I'm dependent on my truck, and if it breaks down I'm dependent on a mechanic to fix it. I'm not the "handy Jack" Phart is, so I chose to buy brand new.
I have friends who live in the city who have never owned a car, simply because the transit system makes it easier, faster and cheaper to get around than in a car. it's not for me personally but it works for them.

..well said!

good one!

How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
The Bee Gees

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrows

How can you mend a BROKEN heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
No one said a word about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
And how can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?

Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

..Good morning to you Too!

The World I Know
Collective Soul

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City and I don't know WHY

Are we listening?
hymns of offering?
Have we eyed to see?
Love is gathering
Well, all the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding into one, into one

So I walk up on high and I step to the edg
to see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I have known
Oh, it's the world I have known

I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City
and I don't know why, don't know why

So I walk up on high and I step to the edge
to see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I have known
Oh, it's the world I have known

Yeah, I walk up on high and I step to the edge
to see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I've known
Oh, it's the world I have known

Crime of the Century
Supertramp

Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well, what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
Yes, it's well worth a fee

So roll up and see
How they **** the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse

WHO are these men of lust, greed and glory?
Rip off the masks and let's see
But that's not right, oh, no, what's the story?
But there's you and there's me
That can't be

Let Me Roll It
Paul McCartney

You gave me something
I understand
You gave me loving in the palm of my hand

I can't tell you how I feel
My heart is like a wheel
Let me ROLL it
Let me roll it to you
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you

I want to tell you
And now's the time
I want to tell you that
You're going to be mine

I can't tell you how I feel
My heart is like a wheel
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you

.. no more coppers in the pockets.

kebmo is right.. life without pennies is good. In Canada we round up or down. If it costs 12 cents, you pay a dime, but if it's 13 cents, you pay 15. Besides, it's only when you're dealing in cash.. digital is still to the penny. At a cost of almost 4 cents each to make, the penny coin doesn't really pay for it self anymore..

You Don't Know How It Feels
Tom Petty

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me

But let me get to the point
Let's ROLL another joint
And turn the radio loud
I'm too alone to be proud
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
To be me

People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream

So let's get to the point
Let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
To be me

My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I've got a little space to fill

So let's get to the point
Let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels
To be me
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels
To be me

Where Are You Going - Dave Matthews Band

WHERE are you going?
With your long face
Pulling down
Don't hide away
Like an ocean
That you can't see but you can smell
And the sound of waves crash down

I am no Superman
I have no reasons for you
I am no hero
Oh, that's for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are is where I belong
I do know where you go
That's where I want to be
Where are you going?
Where do you go?

Are you looking for answers
To questions under the stars?
Well, if along the way
You are grown weary
You can rest with me until
A brighter day and you're okay

I am no Superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero
Oh, that's for sure
But I do know one thing
And that's where you are, is where I belong
I do know where you go
Is where I want to be
Where are you going?
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where are you going?
Where do you go?

I am no Superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero
Oh, that's for sure
But I do know one thing
That's where you are, is where I belong
I do know where you go
Is where I want to be
Where are you going?
Where do you go?
Where are you going?
Where?
Well, let's go

Bloody Well Right
Supertramp

So you think your schooling is phoney
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say, "It all depends on money
And who is in your family tree"

Right (right), you're bloody WELL right
You got a bloody right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know, you got a right to say
Ha, ha, you're bloody well right
You know, you're right to say
Yeah, yeah, you're bloody well right
You know, you're right to say
And me, I don't care anyway

Write your problems down in detail
And take 'em to a higher place
You've had your cry, no, I shouldn't say wail
In the meantime hush your face

Right (quite right), you're bloody well right
You got a bloody right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know, you got a right to say
Ha, ha, you're bloody well right
You know, you're right to say
Yeah, yeah, you're bloody well right
You know, you got a right to say
You got a bloody right to say
You got a bloody right to say
You got a bloody right to say
You got a bloody right to say, yeah

Standin' On the Rock
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

I been standin' on the rock, waitin' for the wind to blow
I been standin' on the rock, waitin' for the wind to blow
I been standin' on the rock, waitin' for my seeds to grow
I been walkin' on the ground, waitin' for the guns to quit
I been walkin' on the ground, waitin' for the guns to quit
I been walkin' on the ground, waitin' for the pieces to fit

Better get BACK to the country, look around and find you a home
Better get back to the country, look around and find you a home
Better get back to the country, that's where we all come from

I been standin' on the rock, waitin' for the wind to blow
I been standin' on the rock, waitin' for the wind to blow
I been standin' on the rock, waitin' for my seeds to grow
I been standin' on the rock, waitin' for my seeds to grow
I been standin' on the rock, waitin' for my seeds to grow

Fire and Rain
Song by James Taylor

Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Susanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won'tcha look down upon me, Jesus?
Ya gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin' and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way

Whoa, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walkin' my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows, when the cold wind blows
It'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines
In pieces on the ground

Whoa, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby
One more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things comin' my way this time around, now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you
Fire and rain, now
