Pretty Flamingo

Rod Stewart

 

All around all of the guys call her flamingo
'cause her hair glows like the sun
and her eyes light up the sky

When she walks by
she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight

When she walks by
she brightens up the neighborhood
and every guy would take her hand
If he just could, if she just would

Some sweet day
I'll make her mine, pretty flamingo
and every guy will envy me
cause paradise is where I'll be

When she walks by
she brightens up the neighborhood
and every guy would take her hand
If he just could, if she just would
Some sweet day
I'll make her mine, pretty flamingo
and every guy will envy me
cause paradise is where I'll be


Brothers In Arms

 

DIRE STRAITS

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you’ll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you’ll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I’ve watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There’s so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun’s gone to hell
And the moon’s riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it’s written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We’re fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Emotional Rescue

 

I come to you, so silent in the night
So stealthy, so animal quiet
I’ll be your savior, steadfast and true
I’ll come to your emotional rescue
I’ll come to your emotional rescue

 

U2

 

To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel (...on your knees boy!)

She’s the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child

 

Queen

 

Under Pressure

 

It’s the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher higher higher
Pressure on people
People on streets

 

Starman

 

David Bowie

 

Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low

I leaned back on my radio

Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said

Then the loud sound did seem to fade

Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase

That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive

 

(CHORUS)

There's a starman waiting in the sky

He'd like to come and meet us

But he thinks he'd blow our minds

There's a starman waiting in the sky

He's told us not to blow it

Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

He told me:

Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie

 

I had to phone someone so I picked on you

Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!

Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two

Look out your window I can see his light

If we can sparkle he may land tonight

Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
