… I'm gonna take a freight train
Down at the station, Lord

Gonna climb a mountain
The highest mountain

Can't you see, can't you see

I'm gonna crawl inside and die
'Cause my lady, now a mean ol' woman, Lord
Never told me goodbye

What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me?
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she's been doin' to me?
… I've gone to buy a ticket now, as far as I can
Ain't a-never coming back
Ride me a southbound, all the way to Georgia now
'Til the train, it run out of track
… Can't you see, oh, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me?
Can't you see, can't you see

I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all

They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far

My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked

I make hit records, my fans they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me I'm great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call

Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody say I'm cool) (He's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far

I go to parties, sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed

They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
(Everybody say oh, yeah) (Oh, yeah)
I keep on going, guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far
Yeah, yeah, yeah

“The Bolter” (2024)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiadPYfdSL0

By all accounts, she almost drowned when she was six in frigid water
And I can confirm she made
A curious child, ever reviled by everyone except her own father
With a quite bewitching face
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless, excellent fun 'til you get to know her
Then she runs like it's a race
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"

Started with a kiss, "Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a Town Car speeding
Out the drive one evening
Ended with the slam of a door
Then he'll call her a w-, wish he wouldn't be sore
But as she was leaving, it felt like breathing

All her f- lives flashed before her eyes
It feels like the time she fell through the ice
Then came out alive

He was a cad, wanted her bad just like any good trophy hunter
And she likes the way it tastes
Taming a bear, making him care, watching him jump, then pulling him under
And at first blush, this is fate
When it's all roses, portrait poses, Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
What a charming Saturday
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
Down in the floorboards and she just knows
She must bolt

Started with a kiss, "Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a Town Car speeding
Out the drive one evening
Ended with the slam of a door
Then he'll call her a w-, wish he wouldn't be sore
But as she was leaving, it felt like breathing

All her f- lives flashed before her eyes (Ah-ah-ah)
It feels like the time she fell through the ice
Then came out alive

She's been many places with men of many faces, first
They're off to the races and she's laughing drawin' aces
But, none of it is changin' that the chariot is waitin'
Hearts are hers for the breakin', there's an escape in escaping

Started with a kiss, "Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a Town Car speeding
Out the drive one evening
Ended with the slam of a door
But she’s got the best stories, you can be sure
That as she was leaving, it felt like freedom

All her f- lives flashed before her eyes (And she realized)
It feels like the time she fell through the ice
Then came out alive

A Little Bit Harder Now - She Wants Revenge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oPA619sYxw

You're such a bad girl
Everyone talks about
The things you do, you're just no good
You're just a bad girl
Shame how you walk around
As if you're so misunderstood

And though I try try try
To get you out of my mind
You just find another way back in way back in
And it's a crime crime crime
How you treat me like this
But still you end up underneath my skin

Take me down
A little bit harder now
Down to the dance floor
A little bit harder now
Love me like you mean it
A little bit harder now
Love me up and down
A little bit harder now

Ooooh, why you look so down, girl?
Told you I wanted you
Did the things you asked me to.
Why you look so down, girl?
Now you got feelings, right?
Usually you're just so cruel just so cruel

And though I try try try
To keep my cool every time
It's such a struggle not to lose my head lose my head
And it's a crime crime crime
How you speaking to me
But still you end up back inside my bed

Take me down
A little bit harder now
Down to the dance floor
A little bit harder now
Love me like you mean it
A little bit harder now
Love me up and down
A little bit harder now

Gotta get this right tonight
Oh, gotta get you closer
Gotta get this right tonight
Oh, gotta get you closer
Gotta get this right tonight
Oh, gotta get you closer
Gotta get this right tonight
Oh, gotta get you closer

Take me down
A little bit harder now
Down to the dance floor
A little bit harder now
Love me like you mean it
A little bit harder now
Love me up and down
A little bit harder now

Take me down
A little bit harder now
Down to the dance floor
A little bit harder now
Love me like you mean it
A little bit harder now
Love me up and down
A little bit harder now

Argent - Hold Your Head Up

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jvfxI9yD2dM

And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down
You can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry
You can make it

Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head high
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head high

And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes
On you moving
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing
That you're doing

Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head high
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head high

Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up

Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head high
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head high

And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes
On you moving
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing
That you're doing

Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman

XTC - All Of A Sudden (It’s Too Late)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yCvGUu3DBJQ

What can I say?
Why do we starve a thing that's near extinction?
From day to day
These weeds of fear
Are choking our conviction
Life's like a jig-saw
You get the straight bits
But there's something missing in the middle

(All of a sudden)
We find the cupboard's bare
(All of a sudden)
We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden)
We find the Sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden)
We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden)
We find that we've lost love
Please don't push or shove because
It's too late
It's too late
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate

What can we do?
Trying to stem the flow of sand is useless
It's up to you
Start holding hands and watch the balance redress
Life's like a firework
You're only lit once
And you must stand and radiate correctly

(All of a sudden)
We find the cupboard's bare
(All of a sudden)
We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden)
We find the Sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden)
We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden)
We find that we've lost love
Please don't push or shove because
It's too late
It's too late
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate

Love's not a product you can hoard or pack a suitcase with
It's more a way you have to give

Life's like a jig-saw
You get the straight bits
But there's something missing in the middle

(All of a sudden)
We find the cupboard's bare
(All of a sudden)
We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden)
We find the Sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden)
We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden)
We find that we've lost love
Please don't push or shove because
(All of a sudden)
We find the cupboard's bare
(All of a sudden)
We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden)
We find the Sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden)
We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden)
We find that we've lost love
It's
It's
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
Peanut Butter Waffles - Ryan Caraveo

I'm always singing 'bout my fickle feelings
'Cause there ain't no antidote
Laying here in silence
'Cause I cannot find the dang remote
Even if I found it I would probably just flip, flip and flip
In the midst of August
Getting started on my Christmas list

I been thinking 'bout you
And I wanna go do something nice
I can't take rejection
And that's why I pay the crazy price
If you ain't ecstatic I feel like I blew it big time
I'm a little manic
I just wanna see your big smile

Nothing means more to me
Than when I hear that you're proud of me
Acting like a kid
Because I never quite learned how to be
Peanut butter waffles
When it's dinner time and I'm alone
Hiding in my castle
But the walls are made of styrofoam

I know, there's no in between
It's either high, low
You know how to balance but I don't
I wish I could finally just find home

I know, there's no in between
It's either high, low
You know how to balance but I don't
I wish I could finally just find home

I'm drinking coffee at 3 a.m.
Playing Battlegrounds and Overwatch
Volume up to fifty
'Cause it get too trippy if it's not
I can hear the fridge buzz
I can hear my thoughts clear
I can hear the room ring
I can hear who's not here

I let my lil' bro talk me
Into buying designer clothes
He tell me I'm flexing
But I don't even feel kinda close
Them b***hes were brand new
But they look like old shoes
Could've bought a puppy
Or 220 cold brews

When somebody ask me how I been
I get too personal
Catching up and small talk
Are two things I never learned to do
I make life decisions in the time
It take to brush my teeth
Can't remember where I been
Don't know where I'm gonna be

I know, there's no in between
It's either high, low
You know how to balance but I don't
I wish I could finally just find home

I know, there's no in between
It's either high, low
You know how to balance but I don't
I wish I could finally just find home

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I wish I could finally just find home

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I wish I could finally just find home

YES LETS GOOOO
Bury the light (Devil may cry 5) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrg9KxGNeJY)

Immortal temptation takes over my mind
Condemned
Falling weak on my knees, summon the strength
Of mayhem

I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death!
Forsakened, I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery
Destiny chasing time

Inherit the nightmare, surrounded by fate
Can’t run away
Keep walking the line, between the light
Led astray

Through vacant halls I won’t surrender
The truth revealed in eyes of ember
We fight through fire and ice forever
Two souls once lost, and now they remember

I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death!
Forsakened, I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery
Destiny chasing time
Disappear into the night
Lost shadows left behind
Obsession's pulling me
Fading, I've come to take what's mine!

Lurking in the shadows under veil of night
Constellations of blood pirouette
Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet
Dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat
A derelict of dark, summoned from the ashes
The puppet master congregates all the masses
Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit
You want this power? Then come try and take it
Beyond the tree
Fire burns
Secret love
Bloodline yearns
Dark minds embrace
Crimson joy
Does your dim heart
Heal or destroy?

Bury the light deep within!
Cast aside, there's no coming home!
We're burning chaos in the wind!
Drifting in the ocean all alone!

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes for ever and ever
What d'you say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

Well, the south side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man name of Leroy Brown
Now Leroy more than trouble
You see he stand 'bout six foot four
All those downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
All the men just call him "Sir"
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Now Leroy he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings
Under everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental
He got an El Dorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket full a fun
He got a razor in his shoe
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Well Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named Doris
And oh that girl looked nice
Well, he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
And Leroy Brown had learned a lesson
'Bout a-messin' with the wife of a jealous man
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Well the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone
And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Yeah, he was badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
