Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

Hey Jude

Hey jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.


—Lennon/McCartney (The Beatles), Hey Jude

Bad

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

The Meaning Of Life

By the way
I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go
Me, I‘d rather be found
Trying something new
And the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There‘s no right and wrong way
Sorry if I don‘t feel like
Living the way you do


—Dexter Holland (The Offspring), The Meaning Of Life

All You Need Is Love

There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown

It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need


—Lennon/McCartney (The Beatles), All You Need Is Love

The Importance Of Being Idle

But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it


—Noel Gallagher (Oasis), The Importance Of Being Idle

Something Beautiful

If you can't wake up in the morning
Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way


—Robbie Williams, Something Beautiful

Gotta Get Away

Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake

But I think it‘s kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me

I'm ready
I'm ready for the push


—Bono (U2), Zoo Station

None but ourselves can free our minds

On Your Own

All I want is someone who can fill the hole
In the life I know
In between life and death
When there's nothing left
Do you wanna know?

You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've known
And your friends on the road


—Richard Ashcroft (The Verve), On Your Own

In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as much
As a man can
Before he repents

And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

Three Little Birds

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"


—Bob Marley, Three Little Birds

Wake Up Dead Man

Listen to your words they'll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum in the radio
Listen over sounds of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time


—Bono (U2), Wake Up Dead Man

Help!

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.


—Lennon/McCartney (The Beatles), Help!

And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

Summer Rain

It's not why you're running
It's where you're going
It's not what you're dreaming

It's where you belong
It's not how weak
But what will make you strong
