The Pretender by Jackson Browne

"I'm going to rent myself a house

In the shade of the freeway

Gonna pack my lunch in the morning

And go to work each day

And when the evening rolls around

I'll go on home and lay my body down

And when the morning light comes streaming in

I'll get up and do it again"......

[BeatleloverKT]

Nobody loves me by John Lennon

"Cats in The Cradle" by Harry Chapin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA028D02OcY

"I've long since retired and my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me..."

[BeatleloverKT]

Girls just wanna have fun by Cyndi Lauper

" I come home in the morning light

My Mother says,"When you gonna live your life right?"

Oh Mother dear we're not the fortunate ones

And girls, they wanna have fun

Oh girls just wanna have fun"......

"Taxi"  by Harry Chapin

"You see, she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
I took off for the sky

And here, she's acting happy
Inside her handsome home
And me, I'm flying in my taxi
Taking tips, and getting stoned
I go flying so high, when I'm stoned"

Borrowed time by John Lennon. A gem of a song showing just how much he knew about his future 

[MaVolta]

How many of us had imaginary playmates or pets when we were growing up?  Yep!

Shilo - Neil Diamond

Young child with dreams
Dream ev'ry dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn on the only friend you can find
There in your mind

Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And we'd play

So make it on your own, yeah, you know that you could"......
