I was raised in the ruins, mama, 'till I was thirteen
Every day I heard the radio
Every night I had the same old dream
To sing a song, oh, baby, to watch my name in lights

They don't know  Tracey Ullman. Cute song from 1983 where she sings about marrying the guy of her dreams "Paul" Fast forward to when she's shopping, pregnant in her slippers with a toddler. Then

to songs end when she's all dolled up again riding in a car being driven by Paul McCartney. I freaked out the first time I saw the video!

FM. Steely Dan

 

Worry the bottle Mama
It's grapefruit wine
Kick off your high heel sneakers
It's party time
The girls don't seem to care what's on
As long as they play till dawn
Nothin' but blues and Elvis
And somebody elses' favorite song

 

Life's a Journey, not a Destination" Aerosmith

Why Didn't Rosemary  -  Deep Purple  

 

As a matter of interest, tell me if you will
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh man won't do it, but the devil will
Oh, why won't Rosemary ever take the pill?
 
In reference to the 1968 horror film, Rosemary's Baby.

The note you never wrote  Sir Paul&Wings

 

"Later on, the story goes

A bottle floated out the sea

After days, when it had found the perfect spot

it opened up

And I read the note that you never wrote to me"
