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"......

Nobody loves me by John Lennon

 

"Nobody loves you when you're old and grey

Nobody needs you when you're upside down

Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday

Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground"......

Raise your glass by Pink

 

"So if you're too school for cool

And you're treated like a fool

(Treated like a fool)

You can choose to let it go

We can always,we can always

Party on our own"......

"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
..."

Girls just wanna have fun by Cyndi Lauper

"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"

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

(We ain't got) nothing yet by Blues Magoos

 

"Nothin' can hold us and nothin' can keep us down

And someday our names will be spread all over town

We can get in while the getting is good

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