The Who - Baba O'Riley (Shepperton Studios / 1978)

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living

I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

Sally, take my hand
We'll travel south 'cross land
Put out the fire
And don't look past my shoulder

The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland, oh, yeah
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!

Stephen Fretwell - New York

Please can we go away
Get out of here
Somehow today.
For a place that I've heard on the radio
Never sleeps.

I'll get a job in a bar,
You could be a waitress and serve cheap cigars
To fat mustachio men in suits, you'll look cute.

Fuck what they say
Fuck it if they talk
It really don't matter.
We're going to New York.

Oh, hold on to me.
I'm gonna get you out
I'm gonna set you free.
To a place that I've heard on the radio.
Never sleeps.

I'll get a job in a bar,
You could be a waitress and serve cheap cigars
To fat mustachio men in suits, you'll look cute.

Fuck what they say
Fuck it if they talk
It really don't matter.
We're going to New York

 

Maria McKee - Breathe

At first I was scared when I opened up my head
And the motor that was runnin' was the mind of you
I was scared when I looked at my reflection
And the shine I saw were the eyes of you

I was scared when you touched my lips
And the breath I took was a breath that shook me with a shock
Like a flame as eternal as a song and the song is you and I

I will let you breathe through me
I will let you be with me

Whenever I'm alone and you're lost out there
I can feel you breathe ‘cause our lungs we share
Whenever I'm alone anytime anywhere
I can feel your heart beat ‘cause our blood we share

I was scared when you came into my room
The walls became the sea, your voice was the moon
Oh when you rocked me in your arms
Like a song, a wave on the tide of you and I

I will let you breathe through me
I will let you be with me

My heart beats your blood
Your breath fills my lungs
Your heart beats my blood
My breath fills your lungs

I was scared when you came into my room
The walls became the sea, your voice was the moon
Oh when you rocked me in your arms
Be with me...

I will let you breathe through me
I will let you...
I will let you...
I will let you...

Now you know me  

You know how proud I am  

And what I'm gonna tell you now  

Won't be easy to say  

Before I left your side 

Ooh, I was so happy then  

But I've been so lonely  

Since I've been away 

Oh, baby 

 I've tried and I know I can't make it alone  

It's such a hard way to go  

I just can't make it alone  

There's something in my soul  

That will always (always)  

Lead me back to you  

What can I say now?  

Sorry is just not good enough  

I couldn't blame you if you hurt me now  

The way I hurt you then  

But who else can I turn to? 

Oh, baby, I'm begging you  

Won't you reach out for my dying soul? 

And make me live again  

Oh, baby, it's so hard  

I've tried and I know I can't make it alone  

It's such a hard way to go  

I just can't make it alone 

There's something in my soul (in my soul)  

That will always 

Lead me back to you  

I just can't make it by myself 

Just can't make it byself  

Baby, help me I've tried and I know I can't make it alone  

It's such a hard way to go  

And I can't make it alone  

There's something in my soul (in my soul)  

That will always (always)  

Lead me back to you  

Oh, help me (Please help me)  

You know I need you (I need you) 

 I'm saying that I need you  

I just can't make it by myself (I just can't make it by myself)  

I just can't make it all alone (I just can't make it all alone) 

 I just can't make it by myself (I just can't make it by myself)

Lone Justice - Shelter

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvo9MbTkUbE

 

Well all right you gave it all up for a dream
Fate proved unkind
To lock the door and leave no key
You're unsure
Well baby I'm scared too
When the world crushes you

[Chorus]
Let me be you're shelter shelter
From the storm outside
Let me be your shelter shelter
From the endless tide

Disillusion has an edge so sharp
It tears at your soul
And leaves a stain upon your heart
I need you to wash mine clean
You've felt it too
And you need me

[Chorus]

Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes

[Chorus]

Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes

[Chorus]

Let me be your shelter shelter shelter shelter shelter

Allman Brown & Liz Lawrence - Sons and Daughters

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eru8DlHoOFM

And I will hold you tight
Like the moon in the arms of the sky
And I will keep you warm
I will build a fire in this house

And I'll build a fire
You fetch the water and I'll lay the table
And in our hearts
We still pray for sons and daughters
And all those evenings
Out in the garden, with red red wine
These quiet hours turning to years

And I, I'll wrap myself
Around your heart
I'll be the walls of his heart
And I, I'll keep a light on
To call you back home

And I'll build a fire
You fetch the water and I'll lay the table
And in our hearts
We still pray for sons and daughters
And all those evenings
Out in the garden, with red red wine
These quiet hours turning to years

And it's all to come
For now we're still young
Just building our kingdom
But it's all to come

And I'll build a fire
You fetch the water and I'll lay the table
And in our hearts
We still pray for sons and daughters
And all those evenings
Out in the garden, with red red wine
These quiet hours turning to years

It's all to come
For now we're still young

Counting Crows - American Girls

 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_MUfryl-w

She comes out on Fridays every time  

Stands out in a line  

I could have been anyone she'd seen  

She waits another week to fall apart  

She couldn't make another day 

I wish it was anyone but me  

I could have been anyone you see  

She had something breakable just under her skin  

American girls are weather and noise  

Playing the changes for all of the boys  

Holding a candle right up to my hands  

Making me feel so incredible  

 

 

She comes out of closets every night  

But then she locks herself away  

Where she could keep everything from me  

I could have been anyone you see  

She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin  

American girls are weather and noise  

Playing the changes for all of the boys  

Holding a candle right up to my hand  

Making me feel so incredible  

 

 

Little shiver shaking me everyday  

But I could get this same thing anywhere  

So if she goes away  

Well, it's alright and I'm ok  

Hey, she said come back again tonight  

And I said, I might, I might, I might  

She said, well that's alright 

 If it's alright, it's alright with you 

 If it's alright, if it's alright with me 

 

 

I waited for an hour last Friday night  

She never came around  

She took almost everything from me  

I'm going through my closets  

Trying on her clothes, almost everyday  

I could have been anyone you see  

I wish it was anyone but me  

Nothing but pills and ashes under my skin 

American girls oh are weather and noise  

Playing the changes for all of the boys  

Holding a candle right up to my hand  

Making me feel so incredible  

If I make you cry, you tell me why  

I'll try again, if you'll let me try  

American girls are feathers and cream  

Coming to bed so edible  

American girls, oh  

American girls  

American girls  

Oh, oh, oh, oh  

American girls, oh  

American girls American girls 

 Oh, oh, oh, oh  

You made me cry  

You made me cry  

You made me cry  

Yeah, you made me cry  

You made me cry  

Hey, Miss American Girl  

Oh, oh, oh, yeah
