The Day Before You Came (ABBA)
Youtube
I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial,
no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers
waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came.
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
The day before you came.
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came.
And turning out the light I must have yawned
and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came.

Crash! Boom! Bang! (Roxette)
Youtube
My papa told me to stay out of trouble
"When you've found your man make sure he's for real"
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal
They won't heal
'Cause every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang
That's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same
I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew
My mama told me not to mess with sorrow
But I always did and Lord I still do
I'm still breaking the rules
(I kick it up, I kick it down)
'Cause every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang
That's my real middle-name, it has always been the same
That's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same
I still feel the heat
(Slowly fallin' from the sky)
And the taste of the kissing
Shattered by rain and the wild holy war
(Comin' tumblin' from behind)
I kick it up, I kick it down
|
Oh, every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang
I find the roses dying on the floor
Crash! Boom! Bang
That's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same
That's my real middle-name, it has always been the same
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It's always been the same
It's always been the same

Chasing Pirates (Norah Jones)
Youtube
In your message you said,
you were goin' to bed,
but I'm not done with the night.
So I stayed up and read,
but your words in my head,
got me mixed up so I turned out the light.
And I, don't know how, to slow it down.
My mind's racing from chasing pirates.
Well the man in there swings
while the silliest things,
floppin around in my brain.
And I try not to dream
but them possible schemes,
swim around, wanna drown me in synch.
And I, don't know how, to slow it down.
Oh my mind's racing from chasing pirates. (x 2)
My mind's racin' from chasing pirates. (x 2)
In My Life (The Beatles)
Youtube
There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
