If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot

 

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well

 

If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” - Jimi Hendrix

It's not really there

It's all on the screen

Makes me forget who I am

I'm an analog man".......

MTV - Deep Purple (2005)

 

Messrs Gillan and Glover offer a scathing criticism over MTV and Classic Rock Radio just playin' the old stuff. But hold on there fellas, the old stuff made you rich, and it's fans like us that have kept it alive. Maybe if I were more impressed with the new stuff . . . ???

El Macho - Mark Knopfler

 

They say you're a star
That's what the boys all say you are
I don't see much TV
So you don't mean --it to me
But you look like a fine thing Jerry
Yeh you look like a fine thing Jerry

Jesus he knows me by Genesis

 

"You see the face on the TV screen

Coming at you every Sunday

See that face on the billboard

That man is me

On the cover of the magazine

There's no question why I'm smiling

You buy a piece of paradise

You buy a piece of me".......
